Working Progress - Continued (screen shots)

Working Process

During the last several lessons I have been working on my front cover and contents page whilst making changes to the fonts and image positioning. It took me quite a while to make the background suit the main image and it involved a lot of adjusting. I started the contents page but eventually changed the complete image positioning and colours due to quick decision making. I asked people surrounding me for advise on what image the page gives to a public audience, nd using their response I made some changes in the process.

Working Process - Front Cover

Working Progress

We started off designing a questionnaire to obtain information based of the public audiences view on music magazines, we then used some of the data to make important decisions concerning the name, genre and design of the magazine. We practised how to use photoshop by playing around with it in order to make a practice front cover of a school magazine and contents page. In addition, i experimented with the different types of fonts which linked in to the name 'neon', using a blue colour, after finding the right one i chose a background and main image after several complications including different opinions and blurry photos. Then I started the production process of the main cover of the magazine after analysing several covers and front covers.

Final image for front cover

I have chosen this as my main cover image because the modelis looking at the camera properly with sufficient eye contact involved, also it is the most clear photo taken compared to the rest of the images.

Rejected Photos

The model is occupied which makes them look busy and possibly popular, this image could be used as a smaller additional image in the contents page.




This picture is very blurry which makes it an unacceptable image to use for the main cover of my magazine.



The models face and eyes is not seen properly and this can not be used as eye contact is essential to complete the image.



The model is not looking towards the camera which makes it unusual to use to the cover.
