Product constructionFront cover

This is the first stage I started out with which is creating the background of the cover in photo shop. I decided to it pink as the 3 main colours I’m using are blue light silver and pink. I chose these because blue and silver are Christmas related colours and the pink because it goes well with them, and pink also is good as it’s a typical colour used in magazines and it stands out.

The next thing I did was create my mast head, I got the actual font off a website called ‘dafont’ and then just copied it over to my cover with

my magazine name. I then put an effect on the on the blue

I hen edited in my main image by cutting round the edge to remove the background. I edited

the brightness as the image had come out quite dark, so by making it brighter it meant

that you could see it more clearly.

The next thing I did was put in one of the images I used on my double page spread, and

a sell line about the ‘interview’. I then put I bigger white box around the outside of it to

give the illusion of a white border around the image.

I then put in another sell line and a pink box around the bottom part of the text to make it

stand out. I also edited in some small snowflakes to dot around the page in any small gaps and put a Santa hat on the corner of the

letter R.

I put in a pink box at the top with a sell line inside that’s on one of the small pages inside of the magazine. Im trying to stick to a colour scheme so if I use this bright pink it will help

the magazine stand out a lot more.

The I put in a circle at the bottom of the page as I was going to use this space for my sell line

in the middle and pictures of outfits around the side.

Contents pageThe first thing I did to make my contents page is create the layout, so I set of the

boxes for text and images to go

I then added the text and images

The first thing that I did was crate a layout for my double page spread on InDesign. I needed to create two A4 pages with 3 columns where my article needed to go. Then on the other page I am going to put my images.

I then put a collected of my images together on photo shop and dragged it over to InDesign, taking up the full right hand side of the page

Next I created my main heading for my article as it this double page spread had a Christmas theme to it I decided to try and make the heading as festive as I could. I did this by altering the colour and font to fit in with this theme. I got my font from a website called “dafont”Then I copied and pasted over my article into the columns I had set out for it. After this I had to edit the writing by changing the font colour and size.

This is what my finished product looked like.
