First of the Year

Hello And welcome to the beginning My Media course work, The Magazine.

To Create the feeling of working on & In the magazines themselves I Took Photos of myself, to create the Atmosphere of posing for a real magazine, whilst looking like an X factor reject at the same time.

EXP3LLED School magazine- Front cover

EXP3LLED Front cover-

I have Started by taking photos of my friend Taz in the same fashion as my photographs, I then opened the photo into Photoshop, trimmed the shoddy and plain background and incorporated the magazines title with a font I have downloaded prior to the magazine. 

I then shown more emphasis on the details on the title to make it stand out, by placing a Black masthead behind it.

 I then replaced the bland stock background with a custom Grungy background that I made from scratch, using some custom downloaded brushes.

To complete the Front cover I added the boxes and then incorporated the appropriate text within the box in various fonts to display the random, urban theme of the magazine. I also filtered the boxes and the title to a more genre colour font by editing the Hue balance. To finish the front cover I placed the Magazines bar code In the bottom right hand corner.
