Construction Samples

This is the first photo I edited and decided to make bigger in order for it to fill the entire left hand side of the page. I then use a tool so that it faded out on the right hand side of the photo.

With the same tool as the one use to fade the photo from left to right, I then created a rectangle, and the made this fade from right to left. This way so that even though the pages are separate they still flow.

I then added text. I started by adding a quote, covering the bottom half of the left page and carries on to the right page. This is an interesting tagline that will make the readers interested in the article.

After this I then continued by adding the main article with another quote that was in the middle of the page. Then this page was complete.

These are the several stages i went through to create my final Front Cover for my magazine.

Firstly i chose two photos that i had already edited in an earlier process, these should be the ones i would like to feature as the main photo on the cover and put them on two separate layers and made the top layers more opaque, therefore creating a effect like below.

I then had to come up with a name for my magazine, one that will attract my target market, so i chose
'Eclipse'. I the went on to use Lucida Fax, the stretched it diagonally to create an italic effect. I did this two times so i could go on to overlap the writing.

Then i began to put cover lines on the magazine cover, in the same font as the title. However just a smaller size and in different colours.

I then added a date line, showing the date of publication, issue number and the price of the magazine itself. Also i decided to add a simple black and white barcode at the bottom right hand corner o the page.

To finish off the magazine front cover i edited two photos to place on the bottom left hand corner of the page, with a tag line underneath giving the readers a snippet of what the article will feature that links the photos to the info in the magazine.
