Magazine So Far . . .

As you can see from these two images, they both have different titles. This is because I started off by choosing all of my font and making the basic layout, this came to be a problem when I uploaded my pictures, I found that I couldn't put them over my image without there being a white box around the font, this meant that I had to start all over again. 

As you can see from this image it is completely different from the picture above, the background is a common theme in the magazine cover and the poster as we wanted to keep them linked. I had to navigate myself around the different layers on the side in order to help me layer them on top of the other. My plan is to add more writing onto the front cover, that is inspired by things I have seen written on professional film magazines.

These are a selection of 'YouTube' videos I had to use to help me with the Adobe Photoshop cs3 application; 

The video above defiantly helped me the most as it taught me how to cut out the pictures I needed - in this case it was Suzanne, I tired this technique to cut out the words I needed but it was far too hard.

FONT.

I continued to use the website www.dafont.com to get the fonts for my magazine, in this scenario I used a font called 'Zombie' which is different from the one I had originally chosen. I am going to use this for the magazine title and for the main sub-headings.

BACKGROUND IMAGE.

This is an image of what I used for the background on the magazine and Carlaina also used it as the background of the poster. We chose to use the same image as it made them both connected and as it is meant to be part of the movie franchise there should be some connection between them all. With this image Carlaina and I used a 'YouTube' video to help with cutting around something that we wanted and using it somewhere else and then layered them all on top of each other.

But as you can see this is a different colour to the one used on my magazine, this is because I used the image effects to change the gradient of the colours to make it look like a darker image and more eerie. Also it made the colours of Suzanne's dress stand out more against the grey and drew the eye towards the middle of the magazine - the front cover.
