This document summarizes changes made to a fanzine layout about hip hop fashion. Images of hip hop clothing and chains were added behind copy text. A graffiti-style font was used for the headlines. The image of Cara was cropped too much initially, so a border was added to make it stand out more. The writing under Cara was also made to stand out more by changing it to white text on a black background to match the black and white color scheme. Color chains were added under the text to introduce some color to the layout. These changes were made to make the layout look more professional.
6. for task 9 we had to create an inside page of
a fanzine. As my subculture was Hip Hop, I
did my fanzine article on fashion so to get
my image to relate to the article I searched
Hip Hop fashion in Google images and
found these two images which I think show
what Hip Hop fashion is about. I also took
images of Hip Hop chains and changed the
transparency to place them behind my
copy. I got a font of dafont which I thought
resembled a graffiti look. I then took some
of the copy to fill up the space under.
However I think the layout still looks quite
messy and not as professional as it could.
7. I thought the image of Cara look weird
and too cropped on the other layout
so I decided to put a boarder around
the image and I think this looks better
and it also makes it stand out more. I
also thought the writing underneath
the image of Cara did not stand out as
well as it could so I put it Photoshop
and made it have the black
background and white writing is works
as the rest of the images and black and
white. I think by having the chains in
colour underneath the text works
really well because it brings some
colour to the layout. I think having the
writing on the black background
makes it stand out more and I think it
makes the whole layout look more
professional.
