The document outlines the 4 steps to produce the front cover of a magazine. In step 1, the author edits a photo to represent Professor Green and likes the original magazine's color scheme but will add more colors. In step 2, layout and design elements are added to make the magazine name and cover lines stand out. Step 3 involves adding small details like a barcode and issue number. Finally, in step 4 tattoos are added to the image to identify Professor Green without reading the text.
2. Step 1
This is the magazine which I got my
initial idea from.
I will edit the photo making it an original
image who represents professor green.
I like the colour scheme but on my front
cover I will try add more colours to it for
a better affect.
3. I have used the bevel and emboss tool on the
magazine name to make it stand out massively so
that when it is on a magazine stand it will stand out
Step 2
and compete with other magazines. The stroke tool
has been used with the main cover line as well.
I choose to put this picture as my front
cover background because the fact that it
has graffiti on the wall promotes the type of
genre my magazine is because it gives the
impression that anything can be done just
like R&B and hip hop expresses its self.
I have kept the layout the same keeping
the cover lines to the far left and right of
the page and keeping the main image in
the centre.
I have changed the position of the
magazine name slightly not spreading it all
the way across the page so that I can fit s
bar cod there or something else.
4. Step 3
Small details were then added to my
magazine for example a barcode, the issue
number, the date, the price and the website
name were all added to make the magazine
look much more affective.
I kept to the colour scheme whilst doing the
issue number and so on to keep the effect
an style of the magazine.
5. Step4
I finally came to the conclusion that if I
wanted to give the full affect of my main
image I had to put the two tattoos that
professor green the guy who my original
image represents on my actual image.
My audience can now tell who the person is
in the image without having to look at the
main cover line.
