Music Magazine Progress

This is how my front cover started off. The final piece ended up having a solid background colour, opposed to the faded red. I inserted the image that I had cropped using Photoshop, but I didn't crop the background colour sufficiently, so it therefore had a white block around the photo. After realising this I used the lasso tool and cropped the rest of the background out, so the end product had no white around it.

Preliminary Exercise

Front Cover

Contents Page

For our preliminary exercise, we were asked to create a front cover and contents page for a college magazine, using InDesign. I had never previously used InDesign, but found it was quite like Photoshop, so I didn't find it too challenging to get the hang of. For the front cover of the magazine, I used a SLR camera to take a  long shot of two students at Stanmore, in the learning centre. In the contents page there is two pages, one is an advertisement and the other has the page numbers. I used three main bold colours, white, black and blue and I used two plain fonts.
