First Article Complete

I have just completed my first double page spread of my article on Amy's new single Heaven and Hell andheres what it looks like! :

I am really happy with the outcome. I used a colourscheme that would match her characters mood and the way in which RnB/hip hop magzines layouts look. Following my research on RnB/hip hop articles I found they tended to use formal ish looking layouts with black and white frequent. So I have added a splash of colour.
Today in college I am getting somehwre with my front cover however we are having trouble making our photoshop documents into picture images (jpeg) so I will add them onto the site when that is sorted. :D

Getting Somewhere...

I have been finshing off some work for hoursssssss and I have finally finished my re drafts of my article analysis's! yaaay . I have also taken pictures of my Friend Amy for my first magazine article for 'Fresh' magazine yesterday ( RnB. Hip hop magazine) and have 'styled' her in the style of Rihanna herselffff. After picking our favourites I decided to get too work planning my first double page spread article. I drew out the two pages and planned how to set it out. My first article is of an interview with *Amy and how her new single is so successful. One whole page is of her in black and white and the other side is the interview which follows the coventions of the articles I have studied, I am just about to start playing around with fonts and colourschemes that i will follow throughout the magazine (to keep it all linked).
Last lesson I completed my practice Vibe cover and contents page and now that I am used to photoshop I will use tomorrows lesson to start creating my front cover. Also wll be getting some more pcitures from my other friens to use in my next article! So much is happening! :O But I am on top of it all :) x

REdrafts of magazine cover analysis

I have finally just completed my magazine cover analysis redrafts and am pleased I have got somewhere.. I have also started my article redrafts and my actual magazine articles. However last lesson I have finally got to grips with photoshop and have created my practise college magazine cover, I need to do the contents page next lesson and then get on with my actual cover at college. Meanwhile at home I am drawing up my article plans and taking pictures for the magazine to create on Microsoft publisher.

I have decided to do my articles on publisher because I can do them in my own time at home as i dont have photoshop and i can always use photshop in my final ones if they don't turn out so good.

Anyway good day ;) x
