Extra Text

 I added a drop shadow on the text to outline the text as it wasn't as clear before. In photoshop I also used the brush tool and coloured in the spaces in the text.

Comparison

 I went on photoshop and edited the photos contrast and brightness. I wanted the effect of a spot light. I also made the image sharp.



Heres the difference.

First attempt - CD Cover


CD Cover:

First attempt, I inserted a picture and added simple text. I used In design.

First attempt of double page article.

 First attempt:

I added three columns and added text about the musician. I placed the photos a whole page as the majority of double page articles has a large picture. At the bottom I have added a box and I am going to create a cd case photo and insert it in the box.

Practise Double page spread

This is our practise double page spread. We created this in In Design software, where many techniques where used to produce the image above. Firstly we organised two pages together to make the double spread. One the left hand side we added a large photo, the majority of magazine have large photos on there spread to attract the  audience.  After we uploaded the photo we entered small text boxes  on both pages and put the name of the magazine and the page number, "SDCMUSIC24", as my large photo has a black background, I had to have reversed out text so it was readable.  For the title I tried to relate it to my picture, and as there is a by holding a sparkler I thought of the title "The human Fire Starter" as it related to my photo. I chose my font as I believe it gives the effect of fire, to make it look more effective I change the outline colour to orange in swatches to give it the real effect of fire. I also done the same effect on the stand first on the letter twist, I also twisted the word 'twist' slightly as it links to the word and looked effective. We then added three columns and filled with place holder text. Lastly we added a photo into the text and texted wrapped the photo so the texted went around the image.
