AS level Media Studies Magazine

 

For my content-page construction, I first edited the background image. I reduced its transparency and edited a reddish shade to it. This as added an impact to my content-page in line with the theme of my cover-page. Then I added the heading in Times New Roman font once again and highlighted it with a red bar with reduced transparency. Following the layout sketch that I made earlier for my magazine, I placed all of my content-lines on rectangular bars and placed them sequentially across the page. I added the first picture and edited the lighting so it isn't dull anymore, since the picture was taken indoors. Then I added the rest of my content-lines. Finally, placed the last image, edited the lighting to suit the bright theme of the page.

These are some of the extra shots and behind the scenes of the shoot for my content page images. These were the images I took at different locations, for the background of my content page.

 These are some of the inspirations I have for the content page layout.

I started off by first improving the lighting of my main image as it wasn't quite satisfactory before. I then added the logo, using the font Times New Roman. Since there was already a lot of colour because of the greenery in the background and my model's dress, I decided o go with a clear masthead so I don't overdo it/. But I did add a slight red shadow to it so it also doesn't looks dull and becomes more prominent. I then began to add the cover-lines. I wanted to highlight some of the cover-lines so I formed bars of different colours, reduced their transparency and added the text on top of them. I used bright colours for these bars so the clear text is easy to read and the overall theme doesn't look boring. I used a sans serif font for the cover-lines to create an informal impression since its for students. Then came the strap-line and the rest of the final touches including the barcode.

For my front cover main image, this is the photograph I shortlisted.
