print screens of my front cover

i added all of my coverlines with the text tool i used a special effect on the text tool to make the inportand parts stand out i also added a bar across the bottom of my magazine using the shape tool so then i could write over the top .i used my artist on the front because she lookd moody and keen she looks like she knows music and she also looks really indie.
photoshop tools helped me to make the artist look more indie and more fearce as i got a clossser picyure by using the zooming in tool and i allso cut her hat out and put ti over the top of the leters 

i then added the word AMY JONES with a quote underneath this is my artist and it makes people want to buy the magazine to read whats inside i made this stand out because i added a drop shaddow by cliking on the layers at the side witch then brought special effects up that i could do to the text.  the photoshop text tool let me resize the word amy jones in order for it to stand out and it allso let me keep editing it to make it look really bold and strong.

i then added a sighn saying exclusive i did this by using a shape block and using white text to make it stand out over the top i then used another shape witch is a circle and placed a smaller ohne inside this is a graphic with makes the text look like it is cumming of the page it makes it stand out.

this is my finished product i added a really large masthead that stood out i used the text tool and i also used capitall letters so it really stood out .

print screens of contents

i added collumbs to split my page up this made the page look allot more orgonised.
i did this on quark and it let me seperate the text i had to create the layout when i first set up the document i allso used text boxes to create text layers this allowed me to move the text to were ever i wanted it on the page.

i then decided to change the layout and then add some pictures with the text box and picture box tools this let me insert pictures and text  and let me put them were i wanted to allso was able to change and add other pictures by inserting a picture box that allowed me to import documents.
i then added quotes to put with my pictures because this will make people understand why the pictures are here and will make them want to find the information inside.i allso then added all my regular and feature content this made my contents page look more full.

i then added my title with the text box i changed the font a few times so i could see witch one fitted and looks good with the pictures, and then added numbers this made the contents look really good and i allso made my contents page look allot more orgonised and it allso made my conents page look like a real one but i was still missing one picture.

so i got the last picture of my artist and used it this is my finished contents.
overall i think my contents page looks like a real contens page and i think it would fit into an indie usic magazine genre and i think allot of people would buy it ....

i added my picture of the upper hand playing live by inserting a picture with the picture box then i imported the picture from my documents then i edited it to make it strech and become allot bigger i allso did my article on microsoft word and then pasted it in to a text box on quark.i was able to do this by adding a new layer of text.

i then added quotes and made them colourfull to stand out and look allot more interesting.i did this by cliking on the text tool and edited the text on the tool bar at the bottom of the page i hen pu them ino my tex but i had t be curfull were about i put them as i had to make sure tha they fited in and i also had to make sure that they looked good to.

i then made my own font in photoshop by using text and shape blocks and saved it as a jpeg and then inserted a picture and added it in . i made my own font to make it unique and so it was my own idea although it took along time to do i think it was worth  because i think it looks really good and it fits with the indie genre.

this is my finished double page spread. i think it looks realy good and dits in with the indie genre.
