Today I started and finished my mock up for my contents page. I started by creating a new masthead as I decided didn’t like the old one. I created a green line and put it under the new bank Gothic font. I added a drop shadow and a stroke effect to the text on photoshop. I also found a picture of a star on google and put it as the dot above the “i” in Tonik.
Next I searched for some pictures of the bands I listed on the front cover and adjusted the colour curves on the picture of The Wombats. I then added them to the page and re sized them. I also moved the contents page title to the other side of the page and moved the line with it. I did this because it looked better and also because it gave more space for the images.
Next I thought about the pages that I would have in my magazine and I thought about how any pages my magazine would have. Next I placed articles in taking into account that some pages would be adverts. I created the font which was in the previous Prestige Elite STD font and put on a outer glow and stroke effect.
Next I decided that the headline still looked a little bit plain. I first downloaded some headphones which i decided not to use as they didn’t look as good as I first thought. Next I created a new line but this time i kept some of the line Black . I put this line underneath the masthead. I went on line to look for a picture to put with the Masthead and i found some lightning shaped, N looking music notes. I cropped one and used the magic wand to make it into a layer. I then deleted then “n”‘s in the Masthead and put them in there place. I also deleted the star as it was too much. Next made the masthead font bigger by around 10 pts.
I also edited some of the spelling mistakes such as the spaces between he letters.
