Magazine Cover

As a group we decided that we should all pick a different picture to use on our individual magazines. We have also decided to use different names. For example, my magazine will be called 'Television Times' whilst Elena's magazine will be called 'Television Weekly'.

I started off by picking the picture I want and opening it on Photoshop. I do not feel confident on Photoshop, so when I got home I used a programme called Picasa to edit my picture. It was a excellent programme and I found it much easier to use and I created different versions of the basic layout of my magazine.

This picture was made black and white, but the red still showing on the characters to symbolise danger. I placed my magazine name at the top and other soap related stories around teh edges. I completed my cover with a barcode, date and price.

This is a colour version of the cover. I moved around date and price and i was also considering puting a christmas special banner on the bottom because of the date I had entered.
I have acknowledged that my picture was taken as a landscape photo so my cover could not be A4 sized. I have worked around this fault and made my cover look A5 sized.

This is my christmas special edition of the magazine. I may later add a border to the banner at the bottom of my page.
