Evidencing of me using Photoshop


Third Drafts:





Evidencing of improvements to make the Third Drafts

FRONT COVER:
First, I elongated the red box for my cover line and stretched out
the title to fit in the box better

Second, I right-justified the Issue, Date and Price.

Third, I moved up the white text into the red box.

CONTENTS PAGE:

First, I used the magnetic lasso to cut out the group.

Second, I used the brush tools to make sure they were cut out perfectly and rounded properly.

Third I moved them to each corner.

Fourth, I started to move text around.

Fifth, I drew a signature of the 'Editor' using the pen tool
(Fountain Pen Icon) and then I wrote an Editor's Note.

Sixth, I made the main article (The Double Page Spread) with
a bigger font and a different font style to make it contrast from
the rest of articles.

Seventh, I used the Poly-Lasso tool to go around the tops of their
heads.

Eighth, I added their name.

Ninth, I increased the size. But I decided to go with a normal name
title as it would look a lot better and easier to understand.

Finally, I made the left third BLACK and the middle and right thirds WHITE.
This was to fit with my colour schemes of RED, WHITE and BLACK.

I didn't change my DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD. This is because I liked the way it looked and decided it didn't need anything else.

Editing after my First Draft of the Double Page Spread


First, I changed the 'S' of Sacrifice.

Second, I then changed it again to a fancier font.

Third, I decided to use this 'S' because it looks like a musical note,
which fits in with the title of my music magazine.

First Drafts:

Front Cover:



This is my first draft. I like how the photo looks and the layout of all the writing and the Name of the magazine. However, I think I could change the FONT COLOURING, as you cannot see some of the writing clearly.


Contents Page:


This is my first draft. I like how the photos look, the Font and the colouring. However, I think I could change GROUP 4's Background, the FONT SIZES (Maybe?), the captions and 'Contents' to Capital Letters.


Double Page Spread:



This is my first draft. I like how the _____ looks. However, I think I could change _____
