This is the final product for my double page spread.




These 3 print screens show the progression of the contents page, i started off with a background image and changed it to black and white. This image is a photo taken by myself, it is a low angle shot. i then used photo shop to change it to black and white. the next step was to add the title and the second self taken image. i used the magnetic lasso tool to edit this second image to cut around the 3 people and the instruments. I then did the title using the writting tool. and change the font and size. after this i did the writing, once again i used this using the writing tool to changed the font and the colour.
This is the final layout for my front cover, i have put alot of thought into what goes where and i came to a final decision to do it like this. The masthead will be located at the in the top left with the bar code, date and issue number will be located in the top right hand corner. The main image will be on around 80% of the page and will have a red background. while the masthead and subheading will have a blue background. the main image will be of one taken by me.
