Movement Completed

Moderator, my name is Sam Harvey, my centre number is 16829 and my candidate number is 8216. My media coursework and magazine is now complete, I hope you enjoy marking my coursework.

Double Page Spread

This is my completed double page spread. I kept up the use of my housestyle and tried keeping the double page quite simple because looking at other rock magazines this is what they tend to do. I made the image sepia because it helps the text to stabd out better.

Before and after, the process of making my cover

Thus is the original image and this is what it looked like I after I was done. It took me a while to decide on the font for the title of my magazine, and I didn't like any of the ones on photoshop because they didn't look like they belonged on a rock magazine. Eventually I went on http://www.picnik.com/ (which has now closed)  which is an image editing website, and chose a font from there. I typed in MOVEMENT and saved it as an image then put it on my magazine cover. I used the stroke affect to get the dark outline around the text. Jake's arm overlaps the Movement text but the rest of his body is behind the other text. To do this I had to use the Magnetic Lassoo tool and cut Jake's arm to make it a seperate layer. I then moved this layer higher than the MOVEMENT layer.

The rest of the font I used was mostly Impact, which I think is quite affective as it stands out well. I used the same colour as I used for the MOVEMENT font to create a house style, but to stop my magazine from being boring I used a gradient affect on it. I made the Currawongs logo by cropping out a Currawong and using a stroke from the inside of it to make it all black. I cut the eye out seperately and put it over the top of the bird. The font I used for THE CURRAWONGS is also from http://www.picnik.com/  and I pasted it over a blue rectangle.

Pictures I used.

I chose Jake Millie and Robert to be the band in my magazine. I chose them because I thought they looked as though they would appeal to my target audience due to their hairstyles and clothing. I took a lot of photos but I only used two of them. This was one of the ones I chose because it contrasts with the other one which is less serious. I used this image for my double page spread and basically added text around the image.

Plan for front cover

This is the plan that I made for my front cover before we started doing anything on photoshop. I think planning helped in terms of where to place things, and thinks such as where the barcode is, the title of the magazine and the band logo are still roughly in the same places. but my completed front cover looks a lot different from my original plan.

Contents for school magazine

This is my contents page I found recently for my school magazine that I made back in February. As you can tell I wasn't at all good at photoshop and tried to keep things basic.
