Inspiration for Contents Page

For my contents page I have already made small changes, but I feel as if I need to really make it the highest mark band so I decided that I would look at different magazines with the same colour scheme as the one I am using, to see if I could make any drastic changes.

 

The first second and third one is from the music magazine "Q" this uses the same colour scheme as I am using, I plan to make changes to the writing I have used on my contents page to give it a more sophisticated look.

 

 

 

 

 

 This particular magazine I found on google was another students, I like the way this is laid out and I will hopefully make mine look something similar.

 

 

 

 

Front Page Draft 1

For the first draft of my front cover I decided to keep the picture that was quite plain and simple, this was one of the pictures that seemed mostly popular compared to my other pictures, therefore I chose it to be my first draft front cover.

 

With the use of Photoshop on this image I have been able to create an eye-catching image that was originally a very plain and quite bland image.

 

I used this picture to edit on Photoshop as I felt it was most helpful with this particular image. 

that being said, I feel as though this image was still very plain I could have made a lot more effort with the text surrounding and as well as the icons such as the "twitter, Facebook, Instagram" app icon, the barcode issue number and the date, therefore I decided to spend more time on my second front cover and add these into it.

 

The changes that have been made image to image are very slight and mostly unnoticeable, for instance, the difference between these two images are, I made the saturation higher and the girls hair seems more highlighted. as well as this I added some text around the image.

 

 

The changes between these two images are quite noticeable as the bottom one is the original image with just flash, it is clear that in this image the girls red lipstick and light brown hair isn't bright and really doesn't make a statement, therefore I decided that I wanted to make this image as bright as possible without making the face look to pale against the red lipstick and hair colour.
