Progress

This is the beginning of my magazine. I am making my magazine cover on Photoshop. Here I have designed the masthead, based on the one for 'Total Film'.

Here I have added a silver stroke around the masthead to make it stand out, since I am planning on having a dark background.This film magazine will not be specific to a film genre - it will be like 'Total Film' in that it will cover all 'blockbusters'.

Here I have removed the blue background from the image. I have hidden the masthead for the moment while I edit the image.

I changed the contrast and colours slightly to be more effective, and I will need to smooth out the edges better.I have also shaped the top of Sarah’s hoodie better as it looked a bit unnatural!

I experimented with various colours for the background, however none seem right for the image. I changed the colour of the stroke around the masthead to match the image more, but I may make it thicker so it will stand out more.

I then decided to try using another image for the background. Here I have used an image of woods, and I think that fits quite well. This image has been copied from Google Images for now as I was experimenting, but I will take my own image and substitute it in.

I then cut Jade from the image of her and Sarah so that I could darken it to indicate that she is the antagonist, however I don’t know if I will keep it this way.

I copied the title ‘Vengeance’ from the poster so that both the trailer and the poster are linked to the magazine. Because of the red glow and stroke around ‘Vengeance’ I decided to change the colour of the stroke around the masthead to match this.

This is how far I have got on my magazine so far. Next I will be putting on a tagline and some

subheadings, as well as following the conventions of magazines by adding a barcode and price and

perhaps some graphics.
