Process

My practise layouts influenced my final project greatly, although I didn’t copy it exactly I still used the same themes and layout for the cover and double page spread.I got a font from DaFont.com for my logo on the front cover, the font was called “Lost in Sound.”

Process

I used an image of Beyonce as the main image on my front cover because she is my main head line and an entire article about her Grammy Awards performance of “Sandcastle” and “Love Drought” her Lemonade album.

Although I could have used an image of Adele I would prefer to Beyonce considering I tend to relate Beyonce to elegance and dramatic performances and photo-shoots more so than Adele, also she is pregnant and therefore has much more of a shock factor apperence.

Process

Here I have used the font “Lost in Sound "as the font for my logo. I made the logo and clipart megaphone look even more distressed by using the stippled brush tool. Although the logo was already distressed I successfully made the clipart megaphone blend with the font. I also made part of the logo and some of the article headings go behind Beyonce's hand because she is the main element in the image and therefore shouldn’t have anything covering or in front of her.When I added the text to the cover I realised I need a colour scheme to separate and differentiate each article from one another. I used the polygonal lasso tool to select parts of her body where I wanted text or shapes to go behind her and used he eraser tool to rub out any part of the shape that was in the selected area.

Process

For my double page spread, I started off with my layout which was quite difficult to piece together but I used a ruler tool to give me clear boundaries for where each article started and ended. I used the text tool to add in text to the correct areas and I dragged images into the layers. I used the rectangle and ellipse tool to create shapes and the layout pattern. If I made a shape the wrong size I would use the free transform option in edit, and id also use the fill tool and the stroke tool to change the colour of the shapes and their outlines.

Process• On my double page spread I have 4 articles, and each one of those articles

is related to something on the front cover. I have an article about the main focus or the magazine which in this case was Beyonce which explains why and for what reason she was “Parading Round Her Bump” and the colour of the fabric she is holding is the same colour as the background of the article.

• I also have a twitter like article that talks about the “Best Celebrities Reactions To Grammy Nominations” and this relates to the Grammy nomination title on the cover which is light blue like the top banner. This twitter section of the magazine will attract younger members of my readers because there more likely to use twitter and understand my connection to the celebrities reactions.

• I also have a humorous article which will attract male members of the readers, in this edition it was about James Corden epic entrance falling down the stairs at the Grammys Awards. On the front cover the title related t the humor article had a large purple circle behind it which linked to the large purple “EPIC”.

• And lastly I have an OOPS article which contains a story about if some has messed something up or fallen/hurt them self by accident, in this edition it was Adele messing up and swearing on a live performance. I included the same red oops circle in the article as I did on the front cover.
