Photoshop Ideas for my magazine






These videos give me an idea on how to make both text and still images look both more professional and attractable to the audience. The videos may have an influence in the way I style my product and also links to the first draft I have just done. The videos have furthered my knowledge on Photoshop and may help me to reaching the next level needed for AS level.

Masthead Designs

To help me with the making of my magazine I decided I would make some mastheads to help me with the initial ideas of the rest of my magazine. In the end I decided that the fifth one down would be the masthead for my magazine as it is neat and uses the colour scheme that the magazine will adopt throughout.

Double Page Spread Draft

I have drawn a rough layout and plan for my double page spread. It is a basic drawing that I will look at when creating my real end product.

Contents Page Draft


I have again drawn a draft but of my contents page. I needed to to make sure that I was able to plan where every feature would go on the page in order for it to look professional.

Layout: First Draft - Front Cover



This is my first initial draft for my magazine which is to be called 'MainStage'. It looks mostly at layout but also mise-en-scene and other first thoughts on the style my magazine is to be. I have looked mainly at the layout and how everything is going to be presented to the reader in order to create interest.
