FRONT COVER: DECIDING ON THE MASTHEAD. CLASS FEEDBACK

THE MASTHEAD

I have decided that the plain "VOLUME' does not fit in enough with the music theme therefore i am going to insert and try out some music icons to make it better.

PUTTING IN THE VOLUME SIGN INTO MY MAGAZINE.....

INSERTING THE VOLUME KEY

PUTTING IT INTO THE MASTHEAD

________________________________________________

I NEED TO DECIDE WHICH MASTHEAD TO USE AS I HAVE THREE THAT I HAVE TESTED AND TRIED OUT.

THIS IS MASTHEAD ONE: with both the signs: one replacing the O in VOLUME

THIS IS MASTHEAD TWO: VOLUME spelt correctly and the one of the signs at the end

THIS IS MASTHEAD THREE: No sign at the end just one music sign replacing the O in VOLUME

I ASKED THE PEERS IN MY CLASS 

and this was the outcome

Quite clearly the decision that was made was that Masthead 2 is the one to use.

I used Quicktime Player to record the activity on my desktop.

HERE IS WHAT THE CURRENT MASTHEAD LOOKS LIKE..

NOW I CAN CONTINUE WITH THE EDITING AND DESIGNING OF MY MAGAZINE.

FRONT COVER: ARTIST NAME DECISIONS Focus Group Feedback

I have asked my focus group which name font they thought was best. I also asked whether 'Triggy' Or 'Bella Tregear' would be better.
I went onto the internet and got these fonts that i need to choose from

I have decided on the colour red as it stands out from the picture and will catch the readers attention.

The name they have chosen on is :

Choosing my image for my front cover and editing it

I have made her hair and her features on her faces stand out to give her a more powerful and dominant look.

I then put it onto photoshop to try it out with the masthead and see if this was going to be the correct image to use for my front cover

INSERTING MASTHEAD AND MAIN ARTICLE,

Yes i am happy with how the masthead fits with the picture

Now editing the barcode with the eraser to get rid of the white bit.
