Font selection

I chose to get the font which I used in my front cover specifically for the main featuring artist because I felt it reflected the type of character and mood that the musician carries her self with (e.g. curvey, height etc...)

I chose this font for the main magazine title because i thought it was suitable in the sense that its bold, large, tall and block .

Final Content page

MAKING CONTENT PAGE #5

 

In the final stages of making the content page I added a small photo description next to the main featuring artist and I wrote the magazine website along the bottom.

MAKING CONTENT PAGE #4

 

I then added the most important variations of stories in my magazine into the content page in black with the page reference in white. So that the white text can also stand out, I gave the text layers a medium drop shadow. To highlight the order of importance I made the different articles different sizes (biggest being most important). I continued to use the same futuristic font as I used in my Double page spread and Front cover because it mainitains the theme of the magazine.

MAKING CONTENT PAGE #3

 

To make the content page more appealing to music enthisists, I got a picture of an 'old school radio' and merged zig-zag parts of it into the background. I then gave the layer some inner drop shadow so that it has a more realistic look.

MAKING CONTENT PAGE #2

 

Then I chose picture which I throught was appropriatr from my previous photoshoot of the main featuring artist and cut it out using the phtoshop pen tool. I placed it along the bottom of the page because it'd give me more space above to write the pager numbers and content.
