Contents Page

I started off by getting the image i wanted for the contents page the  cutting it out, editing it and then finally blurring the edges. I then chose the font i wanted on Dafont, chose the size and how it was going to be positioned.

I then positioned where i wanted the photo, also the contents page title, I chose to put the title on the ride side of the page at the top because basically thats where Vibe puts there contents and I chose to do the same as them. Also then adding the same strip of colour at the bottom like on the front cover but a different colour. Though i couldnt decide what i wanted in the long box at the bottom.

I then decided to add the first letter of the name of the magazine, which was I which I imitated from the vibe magazine. Also adding the text and lettering that i wanted in the long box at the bottom.

I finally then added the text I chose to put the text on the right side of the page because basically thats where the Vibe magazine had put it so I chose to do the same. , changed the angle of I in the background. But i might make some adjustments, like the picture or possibly adding a border. 

Contents Page Research

Here are two vibe contents pages, although they dont contain loads like the NME of Q magazine, they give out the correct information and by doing this they dont need to have everythimg crammed on one page.

I love how the title has been done, its different to the other contents pages, so i think i might steel this idea and change it slightly.

I think the pictures they use for each contents page are great photos and dont need to have anything else on them. I think I'm going to design my contents page like this!

Here are two simpilar contents pages,

Here are two similar contents pauges, one is Kerrang! and the other one is NME, there both quite crammed and contain loads  of pictures and information. I dont think they look as professional as the vibe contents page. They have images from different places and gigs, whereas the vibe pictures seem to be in a studio. I do like how the wiriting is layed out and the different fonts and sizes of text.

Heres a Q contents page it doesnt have has much on it like NME and Kerrang and the images are taken with more thought and the pictures are more professional even though they are not in a studio, there are of higher quality.

Heres a contents page which if found on the internet, which  someone has made themselves, you can obviously tell this is not a proper contents page basically because of the image, it is of a low quality abd you can see the pixels, also the background is still there the checkered floor so it is very poor. It's title ios also very boring and is like a school like magazine contents page.

contents idea?

Ive started researching my contents page and i ihave and idea of the layout for it and here it is. I really like the way vibe lay there contents page out, its pretty much a plain background with a image in a studio, a contents title and   the text which is pretty much what i have shown.

My Front Cover

I chose the idea of my magazine and I wanted it to look like a vibe magazine, the layout, but possibly not the picture. Here was the start of the editing process of my front cover photo.

1. Here was the photo i chose to go on my front cover. I changed the contrats brightness and used the clone tool, to get rid of the spots and moles on his face.

2. I then cut around the picture carefully using the magic wand. When you do this it makes it look like its been cut out, well it has but we dont want that to happen. So I next used the blur tall to make it look like i hadnt cut it out.

3. After i found a grey bakcground on the internet and copied and pasted onto photoshop, then typed in the title and the font i wanted on DAFONT, which i print screened and pasted onto photoshop, then added other things such as the 'jack lorrence' the barcode and 'THE REAL RAP'.

4. I then got more text off of dafont and pasted it onto photoshop, placed it where I wanted.

5. After I added the final touches of the text and other pictures, also the price, date and i used the 'T' tool to write to0uch such as the text at the bottom and at the top and now it is finished!

Here is my media pack for the new music magazine INTERCEPT!

Heres the start of another front cover I came up with. First i start by taking a picture and editing on photoshop. cropping, rubbing out, editing contrast and brightness, also cutting around the image, blurring etc.

After doing the editiing I go the grey background off of google, then i placed it behind the image and title. So the title i got off of DAFONT, once i fonud the font I wanted i print screened then pasted it onto photoshop, cropped it and thats how i done this part.

Here ive added in some extra writing, which i go off of dafont. But the top writing, the smaller writing i used the 'T' to write that text at the top .

Here I have just been pracitsing with differet backgrounds and main images. And I just wanted to see which ones worked best. So far I'm not that impressed with any of them, so i will be doing another photoshoot. I dont no whether to go for the urban, graffiti background or the plain gray background which is a bit like 'Q'. But personally I find that quite boring and no very eye catching. The magazine I am planning to imatate is a vibe magazine with eminem on the front.  

Here is my ideal mag, which i plan to copy! except I may make an adjustment to the background
