Contents page

Here is my magazine contents page, I edited the image to make it appear more professional by increasing the vibrance and saturation. I also added a vector mask to make her lip seem more pigmented to stand out and reflect on the R&B style of bold make-up. I cropped the image to take away excess background that was unncessary and added a white box to be the contents background. At the beginning I had to enlarge the image and click alt at the same time to make sure the pixels didn't stretch the image. For the headline of 'CONTENTS' I made it white and added a stroke to come from the centre, this allowed the text to have its own individual house style. I kept with the house style colours of purple and black to make the magazine seem consistent. For the page numbers,  I made them purple in britannic bold and added a stroke from the outside in black to make them stand out. I added subheadings and small explanations to show the reader what is on each page and hopefully persuade the reader to look at the stories. I used buzz words like 'EXCLUSIVE' and 'LATEST' to make the stories seem extravagent.

I adjusted the vibrance, airbrushed the client, sharpened the client and used the liquify tool to make her face thinner. I then added a masthead and headlines and edited them by adding drop shadows and strokes. My target audience is for teenage girls, therefore the colour range of purple and white distinguishes the magazines house style, compared to other teenage magazines such as Smash hits. The purple and white theme makes the magazine look professional and persistant throughout.





Here is my final product, I added a banner at the bottom, a barcode, price tag and website, another headline and added a vector mask so the clients head will be in front of the text.
