I have FINALLY finished my 3 tasks: front cover, double page spread and contents page. I'm really pleased with how it all turned out, although I made some teaks according to people's views, I'm very happy with my finished product.
I couldn't blog last week because the internet broke down, however....
I have finished both my front cover and double page spread!
I finished the final touches to my front cover using Auto Colour in Image Adjustments on Adobe Photoshop CS3, so my picture looked a little brighter and stood out more.
I completed writing up the interview on my double page spread, and made adjustments to the red eyes in the picture through Adobe Photoshop CS3
Today we were spoken to about our evaluation task and given a booklet with information. To help us in our evaluation task we played 'speed evaluation' just like speed dating, we all swapped papers and said one thing we would change and one thing we liked about each project. My results were very positive for my front cover, a lot of people commented on the colour scheme, the text and my layout. However I hadn't realized there was a few spelling mistakes, and almost every one said they couldn't see the 'HOT100' title, so I corrected them both, and my lecturer advised I put a price on too.
I also continued with my double page spread but not quite there yet!
As you can see i have changed the picture on my front cover because my other picture was too pixilated, i've also rotated the date so it's now next to the bar code instead of above it.
My contents now has a 'top stories' title and rotated the top stories
I've started my double page spread but need to finish the interview
Today I carried on with my magazine cover, as you can see I changed the title because I believe it was more catching.
I added some more headlines and changed some of the fonts, also added a tag line to the title and a bar code, I hope with one more session it will be finished
