Me kickin' back on an apple mac photoshopping my front cover.

MY MAGAZINE FRONT COVER.

I've kept the cover simple, stuck to the main image being the main feature, using the same font throughout the cover to link it all up and make it look neat. I might add more to this eventually, maybe a couple more band names on the left so that people have more bands to see if they like them. I've featured a pug on the right 'free stickers' which lures the reader in. I've kept to a very very simple colour scheme of black and white with the pictures in the bottom left giving a hint of colour making it that more interesting.

This contents page was probably the hardest thing to construct on photoshop, i used a total of 52 layers! I filled the background in with an ashy grey type of colour and used this as the basis for anything else that i was going to layer over the top. First i constructed all the polaroids and organized them in an appropriate way using the 'move' tool. I had to construct these in another photoshop document first, importing my own picture on top of a picture of a polaroid. I adjusted the contrast, brightness and lowered the hue before i copied them back into this document. I had to be careful to not just copy one layer, copy them all! Next came the title background, it's just a crowd of people, i imported this picture and lowered the hue of it, as it's not meant to be the main focus of the page. I copied the text over from the text website i used and used some sort of colour burn or opacity effect to create the white block edges. The ripped paper all came next, i had to use the magic wand tool to get rid of messy white edges.
