Post production of magazine

For the Front cover of my magazine I inserted a photo of Harry Tibbles in which I cut around his body to delete out the background. After this I used the colour selector tool and chose the golden colour on his t shirt and en used this for the beckground of the magazine and edited it to have a fading effect where it faded out into a lighter colour coming from a diagonal angle. I then inserted a mast head reading 'Inspire' which is the name of the magazine and used the font verdana for this and then had it a large size and used a mix of black and gold and the colour to go with the background. I then inserted 4 different text boxes around the picture of Harry where I then typed in the four different articles which are on the front cover, where I then coloured them a dark red and black for so that the colours matched with the mast head and background. I then added the price of the magazine and a piece of text saying 'brand new issue' and this was a small verdant font and dark red colour and placed under the mast head. I then added a picture of a barcode which. Placed in the bottom right hand corner of the page where a barcode would normal go.

After this I moved onto the contents page where I used a similar mast head for the title which read 'contents' and had the same colours and size as the front pages mast head. I then inserted a text box and filled in the contents of the magazine and what page numbers they would be on and the font for this was the same as the articles on the front page which is again verdana and coloured this with a dark red. For the background I did a similar thing with the front page where I had the same colour but a different gradient and angle so that it wasn't exactly the same as the front page but similar to go with it. I then added two separate pictures of Jacob Kench and Oli Wrights heads and cut around them like I did with the picture of Harry and placed them both side by side at the bottom of the page. Above this was a picture of the new canteen which I inserted and this was on the right side of the page next to the text box of the contents which was on the left side of the page. I then added a small number 3 in the bottom right hand corner to show it was page 3 of the magazine and this was a white verdant font.
