Extra Page.

this is the final design for my extra page. its no different than the others except i had forgotten to place the leadsinger layer onto it.

here is the second shot of my extra page. i have added questions in, that are not majorly important. just an outlook into his life. i have kept the colours simple and the text simple also as to not distract the viewer. as my magazine is for both genders the colours suit both sexes.

this is the plain layout for my extra page. i have kept the titles the same way throughout the magazine as to keep it professional looking. the colours behind the title are the same colours that are on the front cover and the contents page.

Contents - Final Production.

this is my final design. i kept the colours in blocks and used bright but normal colours. i only used one picture so that it didnt make it look cramped and clumsy. im really happy with the way this looks and i prefer it to my plan.

i restored the colour back into this, and i think it looks a lot better. i added the red and green lines across the bottom to break the white up a bit more.

i like this version, but i dont like the black and white as my front cover photograph is black and white and i thought it would make the magazine look really dull.

Double Page Spread.

i decided to write something in to break the black up a bit. its only a simple box, with name, age and occupation in it. i didnt want to complicate it and make it look shoved in, unprofessional and messy. im very happy with the outcome of my designs, and think it looks a lot better than i first imagined. :D

i think this will be my final version. i changed the colour of the font and also changed the font. the colours are simple, and dont clash. i had to read through my interview as i realised i had spelling mistakes. i think i may have to add in another text box because there is a big space that looks like there should be something there...

this is my final layout. i made the background black so that everything stands out more. i used the polaroids because i think its appropriate to have something else to look at other than the text. this is my rough version of the final production. i decided i didnt like the transparant boxes as they make it look well organised. the writing is overlapping onto the other photographs which im not happy with. the font is also a bit hard to read and hurts my eyes, and especially with those fluroescent colours aswel.

Putting The Final Production Together. :)

these are my screenshots of my final piece:

this is the first one i did. i used the font ive already stated in my last post.

i decided to keep the actual title black and have the shadows behind it coloured as i thought this would make it stand out more.

i used the volt symbol because its obviously associated with electricity, and i thought this fits well.

i chose to use the green strip to add a bit more colour as my picture is black and white, and drew a solid white box across the top of the picture to make the title stand out more.

i added the rest of the text and a barcode. i then decided i didnt like the green box as it just didnt fit in, so i changed it to grey. i decided i didnt like it once again haha.

i changed the green block to completely black. i feel that this fits in a lot better.

i added in the white spots because i felt that it broke the colours up a lot. and at the bottom quoted " LETS CRASH THE PARTY" - this is so reader's want to pick up the magazine and see what acid barbie has to say. :)

this is my final piece for the front cover. i just used simple text for the date, price and issue number.

Front Cover Title.

this the font im going to use for my front cover.

this is the sample piece from the website.

i found this image on http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/thinkdust/yume/

the font is called 'yume'.

i like this font because i think it fits the name of my magazine. 'ELECTRIK'.

with its edgy style and bang on in your face boldness. :)
