Front cover

this is the sketch of my front cover, i would like to make my final front cover look similar to this.

this is a digital version of my layout for my front cover.

  This is the image that i'm going to use for my front cover, it definitely covers the rock them because of the guitar and his costume. The hair and shirt are all part of the costume. 

The image was put through photoshop, and what i did was pale the model  up and made the guitar more vibrant.

  I added a smashing screen effect to show how angry and metal the model is.  

i darkened the models shirt and hair, 

 

I added a black box at the top of my image to advertise for free posters in the magazine.

after that i filled in the black box with bright fonts in red, yellow and white
i also added the artists name in white so that it can stand out from the background.

i decided to put the artist name in the middle of the page, i also added an image/poster and red stickers.

I made some changes by make the artists name in yellow instead of white, then added a red stickers and a white quote line with a broken glass effect.

The barcode, news, and stickers where added to make it resemble a magazine.

i later on added some more news on the side to make my magazine resemble a real one.

i made another stickers that said 20th anniversary of the magazine.

 

then i added another sticker that gives tips to the readers, i added a little flame on the background to attract the readers.

This here is my final front cover, i made sure that i gave it a colourful and cluttered look just to appeal to my target audience

This is my final product. 

Double page spread

This is my sketch of my Double page spread, it has one main image on the left and text on the right, like majority of double page spreads.

This is the digital layout for my DPS, you can see that Red means text and the Blue means image. 

After putting my image through Photoshop, this is the final outcome. my next step was to add the mast head.

I decided to get my font masthead from a website called 1001 fonts, I choose the font called scream good which related to metal.

I then copied the font on to adobe fireworks, and made 2 copies one in black and one in white. the reason why I decided to do this was to make a shadowy effect on the mast head. 

This is the final products for my Mast head. .Then I copied the mast head from adobe fireworks onto Microsoft  PowerPoint.

This picture shows my masthead and my photograph together. the next step was to make a title. 

  I went back on the 1001 fonts, to get a font for my title. after this i opened the font onto fireworks and made the fill of the font into red. 

this picture shows the website where i got my font for "LIA KILLS", for the "S" i also used fireworks and also made the fill red. 

this is the photo of the mast head and title put together, the next step was for me to make a quote. 

  i used the same process that i used on the masthead and title on the quote. but i made two copies of the quote one in black and one in grey, so it could create a shadowy effect. i did this using office, i also made the word "LIGHT" a pale grey and the word "DARK" in black. 

This is the picture of the pull quote, title and masthead, the next step was to add some text, i choose the same website but decided to use the color white, so it can stand out on the black background. 

  i decided to change my DPS a bit my changing the style and adding a police tape on the side to emphasize how rebellious my model is.

in this photo i decided to move the Elementz logo over to the right hand corner.  

i added another image, that was meant to be her other ex - band member and made it in black and white. i chaned the colour of the text because i though that there was too much red in the DPS. I also used another image that had black eyeliner.( i removed the police tape).

i decided to remove the image of the ex band member and put back the police tape. i changed the color of the text into red and moved around the other text and headlines.

After i 

This is my final Double Page Spread. 

This is my final products for DPS , i made the theme red,white and black. i put the models name underneath her neck to make it look like her neck in bleeding in a way. i moved over the elementz mast head over to the left and decreased it's size.on the left page i used the title BAD CHILD and increased the size, on top of the image i added at little quote by the artist, and made it seem a bit scarier.

 i also added little little twitter and instagram.

i decided to simplify my layout, because some metal magazines have simple layouts. so this is my final dps.

Contents Page

This here is a sketch of my contents page, i added 1 big images, 2 small images. 

this is a digital sketch of what i roughly wanted my contents page to look like. 

The blue represents images and the Red means text.  

here is my mast head for my magazine i decided to start off with the masthead and build on afterwards.

i started of with an image of a rock band i then later added other fonts to make it look like a concert poster.

 I transformed the image into a competition poster by adding dates, websites and cities.

i later expanded my contents page into the layout that i drew. i then started out making the contents page by making the issue date and everything else. 

i started adding text onto the contents page to make it more complete. 

i made this little magazine front cover issue to add in the editors notes box. 

This is my final product of my contents page. i added stickers and pins into the contents page to give it a worn out look.  i made some changes to the editors image i though to follow the black, white and red theme i decided to give the image some colour. 

This is the final product of my contents page
