Research and Planning: Model Release forms

My finished music magazine

Edit: This is no longer my final magazine tweaks have been made.

Research and Planning: Brusheezy

After looking through the availible brushes on photoshop I discovered that none of them seemed to be appropriate for my genre. I instead found a downloadable brush from brusheezy called ink splatters. Adding this to my magazine definately made it look a lot better. I enjoyed playing around with the different looks I could make. Adding the splodges and splatters gave my magazine an edgy 'messy' look, symbolising the 'I don't care' rock and roll attitide.

Research and Planning: My Magazine so far

Today I have added a drop shadow to some of my text to make it easier for the audience to read. I adjusted the brightness of some images and changed the spacing on my double page spread to make it look more realistic as a magazine format. I also added a fact file on 'Splinter Nova' to add to the double page spread.

Research and Planning": My magazine today

After coming into to class for an extra hour and a half I have managed to get a lot more done with my media work. I have added more images to fill up my cover, added extra pieces to my double page spread, aligned my text in my article to the left  and I have removed the black line from the cover at the top.

Research and planning: Double page spread fonts

After discussing with my tutor I now understand that it would be more useful to use a Serif font as they are easier for the audience to read. Especially at size 10 or 12 which is the acceptable size font for a double page spread.
