During the time from when I first created
my prelim magazine cover to my main
magazine cover, I have picked up many editing skills along the way. I have
studied a variety of magazines that had a large input into helping me create my
main magazine cover to this day. I studied magazines such as ‘we love pop’ as
pop was my genre of magazine and this helped with the colour scheme and the
actual lay out of the page.
In my first magazine cover, I was using
very basic text fonts and sizes. The magazine did not really have a colour
scheme as I just chose the colours off the top of my head without looking at
any magazine. On the other hand, my magazine now has a colour scheme, which I
followed. This being red, blue and yellow. The pop magazines that influenced
me, all used bright colours and I chose to follow this.
Next thing I learnt was how to use shapes
and drag the layers behind each other that enabled me to have a border around
multiple images on my main magazine photo. I also learnt how to edit a picture
correctly using photo shop that made the picture instantly become more
professional. All in all, I have used many more advanced magazine conventions
for my main cover and this applies for my other two pages, the contents page
and the double page spread.
Similar to my front cover, I have picked up many editing skills
involving the use of photo shop compared to my very first pre-lim contents
page. Again this had very basic text fonts
and nothing stood out where as to now, I have borders around my images,
text is bolder in some parts and some text is even highlighted to be more appealing
to the audience. The main contents page is nice and packed with writing, images
or information where as before there was a lot of blank space and looked very
boring.
