In a free period day I and one of my friends decided to work on the magazine front cover. I asked my friend - Simone - to come with me as she is doing IT and knows a lot about photo shop, I thought her knowledge and opinion would help us make our coursework look as professional as it could be.
First our group had talked about having a different background apart from white so this is what we worked on first, I thought our magazine cover needed more colour so we played around with different blue backgrounds, instead of just having a block colour we used the gradient tool to make the blue fade into white. This looks very effective and we were pleased with the result.
We then looked at other magazine front covers and rearranged our text. I added more text to the Runaway section as I thought as a main article it would have more than one line, we made this text red. We then made the rest of the text white but change the names of each film mentioned to black to make it stand out. We then added a glow to the text to make it stand out against a sometimes dark background. We chose to get rid of the picture of Avatar at the bottom as we thought it looked out of place, we chose just to hide it instead of get rid of it completely as I wanted to check with the other members of my group. I thought it look out of place and thought our magazine had enough text that we didn't need the photo.
The text which states the free gift is in blue so that it stands out from the other text. I think we did a lot in the period and I am very glad Simone helped us as it was very helpful to have an outside opinion.
