Recently, my group and I have made our magazine started on Indesign. We have decided on the background which is black as it is part of our colour scheme and it looks classy. Also, we have created our masthead which is white in bold, Elegance writing with a purple shadow in the same font behind it as it looks effective and interesting. On our front cover, we have decided to have a bottom strip in a bright blue colour so it stands out from the rest of the page. On our double page contents, we will have the lyrics to the artist's song going down the side of the page which we have seen in a few other music magazines, this section is in bright blue linking to the colour of the bottom strip on the front cover.
As we are working in a group, we are creating different editions of the magazine so I have been looking at many music magazines and the different editions of them. I will post some information about them in another post.
As I have taken all of my images that I need, I have been deciding on which images to use and why, as I need to think about the position of it, facial expressions, gestures and the right pose the image has. I have selected a few at the moment, including the front cover image and have been editing these images on Photoshop to take away the green background.
This is our magazine starter and it is what we will use to create our own issue of our magazine. As this is the basic layout of our magazine, there will probably be many changes to our original flatplan as some elements might work whereas some items might not look right.
