I want my magazine to be a ‘normal’ standard size magazine because these seem to be popular also because it is only a monthly magazine it has enough room to have alot of new information on about new bands and gigs.

I used Adobe InDesign to design my double page spread and contents page, I got the insripartion of measurements for measuring up real magazines double page spreads.

LO3: Setting Up Adobe Photoshop CS6

The measurements I used when setting up Adobe photoshop CS6 I got from my proposal, I got these measurements from looking at real magazines and measuring them to get a sense of which size to my magazine.

LO4: Version Controls

 

This is from my front cover, which I edited through Photoshop, I made progression throughout editing these photographs from using different tools and adding text, photographs to make my magazine relate to the proposal of making a local music magazine

These screenshots were from editing my contents page through Adobe InDesign, I used boxes first to put down so I could insert photographs I also used measurements and had 4 columns which I got inspiration from a real kerrang magazine as everything was laid out specific on 3/4 different columns. I also used the boxes to add my main photograph for the contents page in and ended up with a photograph of myself at the bottom to show who made 'Plectrum'

These were edited through Adobe InDesign to make the double page spread realistic for a magazine. Using InDesign made the progression of how fast to get my magazine done quicker, as you can see from the first screenshot I started off using boxes to insert my text into and photographs of the band Sushi, I also inserted banners into it for each question of the interview to make it stand out more. The changes are drastic to from what it looked like in the beginning as the house colours are used continuously throughout the progression.

You can tell that I was organised throughout the process of making my magazine Pletcrum from the screenshots of where I kept my files with different files for each page consisting of screenshots of evidence of editing, each folder consisted of many different photographs and files with cal sheets/ risk assessment forms in
