Production Process

production process of my magazine

Transcript

1. SCREEN GRABS
2. Front Cover
3. Firstly, I added the image onto the grey background.
4. Secondly, I cut out the image and enlarged the model to fit the page more.
5. Next, I created a Masthead online at cooltext.com. I added this to the front page and placed a black Graphic Feature to help it stand out.
6. After that, I created another Graphic Feature to include the ‘PLUS’ content. I also added a barcode to stick to the codes and conventions.
7. To make it look professional, I added the Positioning Statement.
8. After doing some research into different Alternative Rock magazines, I found one that I really liked which had a large Graphic Feature containing Buzz Words to attract the reader. Firstly, I created a red Graphic Feature and overlaid yellow one but erased half of it.
9. I then added smaller coverlines to reveal what’s inside the magazine as well as making the front cover look busier.
10. Next, I added the main coverline, I made this one to be larger than the rest so it’s obvious which one is the main one. For the coverlines, I stuck with my colour scheme, Red, black and grey.
11. Contents Page
12. I opened a document in Quark. Firstly, I created a dark grey Graphic Feature box and added the Title of the magazine in front of it.
13. I opened a text box and imported the contents from a word document.
14. I created more text similar to the Masthead as the headers for each section of the magazine. And imported each into an image box. This meant that the text was separated where I placed the headers.
15. Afterwards, I added images which related to the content in my magazine. I placed them in an organised manner.
16. Next, I added the deatils onto the Graphic Feature box behind the header. These details consisted of Social Media sites, title, issue number and cover date. I also added the website at the bottom of the page.
17. Finally, I added the large page numbers and headlines to the images on the right. I also added a ‘Subscribe now!’ Graphic Feature to make it look a little more professional.
18. Double Page Spread
19. After opening a double page Quark document, I imported an image of my musician through an image box.
20. In photoshop, I cut out the unnecessary background to leave the model by herself.
21. I added a text box on the second page and because I wanted the text to run around my model’s legs, I had to use a draw-your-own text box. After I had fixed the box, I linked the two boxes together so the text would continue. I also had to modify the boxes so the writing would form in three columns.
22. Again, in Photoshop, I created Drop Quotes with the shape around it to make it look more musical. I then imported them into and image box which made the text run around the Drop Quote.
23. I had to craete a Standfirst to let the audience know what the article is about in a sentence or two. To make it stand out I created two Graphic Feature boxes behind them and coloured them red to match the colour scheme. I also created another two Graphic Features in the top left corner to include what kind of article it is.
24. I added the ‘Featured’ header into the small Graphic Feature box to show what article it is. I also included these website and the Positioning Statement in the black Graphic Feature box.
25. Later, I added another larger Drop Quote above the model to give a small insight on what the article is about. I finally added the Headline to the Article to finish it off.
