Evaluation of Music Magazine via PowerPoint

Final Front-Page of Music Magazine

 

As you can see I edited the pervious design by enlarging the text which was already present in the design because I felt that the pervious design was to empty and most professional published magazines contains as much information as possible but always have order in mind, so that the magazine does not look over crowded.

 

The texts which is enlarged:

•"Featuring: MC Cronic"

•"DRUM & BASS AWARDS 2013"

•"EXCLUSIVE: GROOVERIDER SEE P6"

•"Interview with MC Cronic"

 

In addition I added in a skyline which advertised a limited edition CD inside and a competition available to enter via the magazine's website: www.D&BassMagazine.co.uk.

Final Desgn of Two-page Spread

This is my final design of my Double-page spread. In the design I have changed the layout of the question boxes and the paragraph of MC Cronic's background. Also I have continued the colour theme by adding white and Red boxes into the questions.

The image was edited by using image manipulation software (Photoshop CS6) by deleting the background, layering it on top and flattening the images together. Also I added a quote from MC Cronic "DJ Grooverider in my Idol & Inspiration" to fill in the empty space. I am pleased with the outcome and potentially reaches the necessary standard.

Final design of Music Magazine Contents page

 

 

This is my final design of my contents page, I have used three images in this design with relevant information also with a suitable scale for the page numbers. If this was to be professionally published I would have to seek permission from both Twitter and Facebook authorities to use their logo and company names to avoid breaking the copyright legislation. 



 

 

Contact Sheet 2 & Editting Using Photoshop CS6

Contact sheet of Image used for the contents page:

 

 

 

DSCN0002.JPG- I flipped this iamge using the "Flip Canvas" Tool in Image Rotation Settings, I also used the Magaic Eraser Tool to delete the background.

DSCN0003.JPG- I had to take this image twice because whilst using the "Magic eraser tool", I realised that it would not work, the dark background clashed with the dark skin tone of the subject therefore I took the image again using a white background.

Editing Image1 using Photoshop:

Problem with Magic Eraser Tool:

As you can see by using "Magic Eraser Tool" erased the black background as well as his hair because the two shades of black clash therefore I retook the photograph on a white background.









Solution to the problem:

After retaking the photograph the Magic Eraser Tool successfully eraser the background without effect the image.

 



Image 3- I used the magic eraser tool to delete the background once agian and then I layer all three iamge on this page.

Contact Sheet 1 & Editing on Photoshop CS6

Here is a contact sheet created using photoshop CS6 to indicate the photographs which I discarded and used the my music magazine assignment:

I will list the JPEG code for the images I used in this assignment:
I only used two images from this contact sheet, other image from second contact sheet.

101_0448.JPG x 2 I used this image twice but edited differently by going into "Image", "Image Rotation" then "Flip canvas horizontal" the position of the person change flipping him the opposite direction. I also used the "Magic Eraser Tool" to erase the background and then layer the image on the same image as the Mast-Head and Sub-Titles.


101_0446.JPG_ I manipulated this photograph in the same way as the previous one by "Flipping Canvas Horizontal" making him look the opposite way. I also used the "Magic Eraser Tool" again to erase background so that I was just the figure of the person only.
