contents page and double page spread :)

Double page spread: I created my double page spread in indesign, and I found this programme quite hard to use but I got there in the end and I think it looks ok. 
Contents page: Below is my Contents page, I created this in photoshop. I think this looks better than the front cover because I had got used to using the tools and I had realised how to make everything look much better. 


That's my music magazine task complete :).

Back from the christmas holiday's :)

My planning folder is all complete now, and so is the music magazine.
I have already posted some of my folder work on here so I'm just going to post my music magazine front cover, contents page and double page spread. I created the front cover and the contents page on photoshop and the double page spread was created on indesign. 

When using photoshop I had never used it before to this extent so it took me a little bit of time to remember how to use all the tools. However once I had started using it for a few lessons I found it pretty easy to use after that. For the front cover, I used quite a few different tools throughout the production and these were :
  • move tool
  • lasso tool
  • magic wand tool
  • healing brush tool
  • brush tool
  • paint bucket tool
  • horizontal text tool
  • rectangle tool
  • eyedropper tool
These were the main tools that I used to create my front cover, It was quite hard at first to try and make the front cover look good when I wasn't too sure how to actually use the tools correctly. I am happy with my front cover but I think if i had time there would be things that I could change.
