Making the Contents Page 

I started off with the edited picture from iphoto which was then transported to Photoshop. I then fixed some blemishes after adding a layer.

I then used the magnetic lasso tool to cut out the model and flipped the photo vertically so it would look more aesthetically pleasing to the eye on the page.

I could then send the picture to a plain sheet of paper on Photoshop. I used the pick up colour tool to choose the background of the colour, then added text with a white background. I then used the magnetic lasso tool again to outline the image so it looked more professional.

Lasly, I added text such as the date and pages. This is my final contents page.

My results have shown that there is no favourite within my mock ups, so, as I have very little time to do my contents page, I have decided it would be easier to do mock up 1.

Making the Double Page Spread

The image was put into photoshop and stretched to cover the whole page. I then added the text in the left top hand corner the word 'interview' to make it sure that my audience are aware this is an interview.

 

Here I have added a big title of a potential quote from the artist's interview. I did this because this is common in music magazines. The font I have chosen is Polar Shift and is the same as my logo. The white box was added with a border which attempts to contrast with the colours in the photo. The box is intended to hold the interview in. The next thing I will add in are polaroid style photos from the photographs I have taken.

Here is an example:

I did this by Google Imaging pictures of polaroid photographs, then cropping out the photo in the middle and adding my own. I continued to do this with another two pictures.

Here I am adding the polaroid to the double page spread, attempting to slant it to give the impression of layering.

I decided to layer the polaroids this way as it is more aesthetically pleasing to the eyes.

This is my original finished double page spread without the interview but when I looked at it, I thought there was too much text in the main title and the layout of the whole page looks too messy. I decided to do some alterations to it
