Front Cover & Double Page Spread - Progress



Double Page Spread - Progress 1


I am experimenting with background textures, and applying different fonts to my double page spread. I looked up different fonts on the websites: www.fontspace.com and www.dafont.com and eventually settled on the font Northwood High for my masthead, because it looks powerful and I like the eroded effect. Most of the time I have spent on the magazine so far includes creating text boxes for my article and organising layout. However, I have also spent time in Photoshop experimenting with cropping a photograph of a record I took, so that half of it was visible. I then cut out the record out with the magic wand tool, and applied a black background. I applied an outer glow using the blending options to achieve an interesting, dynamic effect, because I wanted the black record to stand out against the black background.
