Final Front Cover, Contents page and Double Page spread.

This is the photograph that I have chosen to use on my double page spread. I cropped the photograph down so it was less focused on the whole of my models and more focused on just the faces. I liked this photograph becuase its quite quirky and suits the description of my chosen interviewee's. 

Text

I used Ariel and Niagara Solid throughout my magazine pages. I chose to you Niagara solid for only the titles as they were bigger than the other text and it could be quite difficult to read if its smaller. 

Front cover

After Looking through the photograph that had taken I thought that the photograph looked much better with a black ground so I changed the title so its white instead of black so it stands out against the background. I think that the black background looks really good because there's a contrast between my models hair and skin and the black so it stands out a lot more. I increased the contrast in this photograph so it was sharper and clearer.

I have decided to do a double page spread on one of the main articles that was on the contents page so I have put similar images on each page. I have made sure that columns are the same as they are on the contents page. Once I have the text boxes filled in i'm going to slightly move the text around and have pull quotes between columns, this will make the page look a little less ordered and hopefully more interesting. I have also been careful to use the same font and font sizes on each page. 

After the text boxes were where I wanted them I started to write the contents of my magazine and place the photographs in that I have taken. I thought it would be a good idea to add some photographs to the contents to make the page look a bit more colourful. I then added two larger photographs at the bottom from two of the main articles. 

Here are a selection of photographs that I have I have taken. I experimented with lighting and the colour of the background, I think it looks much better with a black background because it makes the light in the photograph look slightly more natural.
