This shows adding text, i have clicked on the second icon on the left hand side which will allow me to create a text box.



This shows adding the main imageas you can see I have placed it behind the masterhead and have positioned my model to the right hand side.


This shows all my coverlines, as you can see i have followed a general "Z" layout

This shows the finish product, i have included my masterhead, main image, insert, coverlines, flash button, barcode, skyline and website and price, making it a realistic magazine.

This shows adding background and masterhead, my background colour is set to grey, and i have inserted an image i created on "Dafont", i then angled it so it rain along the right hand side of the magazine.


This shows adding my main image, i have placed my model on the right hand side, leaning againstthe masterhead, at the bottom i have a montage where i have added two inserts and placed them together, close to the main image.


This shows that i have added text, i have placed them on the left had side, as naturally the eye is drawn towards the left, as the text is the information i want to stand out i have put it on the left in the colours of yellow and purple.

This shows the finish product, i have added my masterhead, model, montage, text and background, the page number and website remains continuous and is found at the bottom on every page.

Double Page:


This shows adding background and main image, i have placed my model on the left hand size, so she covers up a page.

This shows the masterhead added, i have placed the masterhead ontop on my model to make it more interesting and unique

This shows the final product with all text added, i have added text on the left hand side and made it follow how a magazine looks like as i have included columns. i have included an insert aswell and i quote from the interview.

Mood Boards


This is a mood board displaying different shades of purple, it varies from light to dark, i have done this as an experiment and to see which shade i think will look nice to include in my magazine. i have incorporated images that i think relate to my magazine, for example: the trainer in a form of a high heel, this is effective as it relates to my genre of my magazine which is girly hip hop and this image cleverly combines the two. Other images such as the music notes and headphones show the denotations for the music industry

This is a mood board, showing all the different shades of red, i have done this to experiment with colour and also to see which images look nice, i have included thinks that i think relate to a music magazine. i have chosen to use red when creating my magazine as red is used for love and lust, this is a common topic that artists sing/rap about, also the colour is a commonly used convention in magazines, therefore i decided to use it when creating my own magazine in hope that it will appeal to existing magazine buyers.
This is a mood board for the colour yellow, i have experimented with different shades and images of the colour yellow to show my develeopment and to see what items are yellow, i think these images relate to my music magazine for example the yellow trainer, as my genre is rnb this goes well with it and the trainer looks like somethink a rap singer would wear. Yellow is a bold bright colour therefore it will compliment and contrast with the other two chosen colours
