LO3: Creating Production Materials

 DPS

I used the text tool in photoshop to create my headline, I wanted to use the font that is used for my magazine name on the front cover. for that I had to use to different fonts for it, one being Colona MT the font, the other being Niagra Solid for the rest of the words. I added certain effects to my words where I bevel and embossed using that particular tool to make my headline stand out. I underlined a spread the letters outwards within the text adjustments tab.

I made this circle graphic as a page number for this particular page for to put in the top right corner of my DPS as a essential graphic that tells the reader what page number their on. To create the graphic I created a solid red circle on photoshop, secondly created a slightly smaller white circle to create a hoop effect with my number being inserted in it using the text tool. These colours

the previous body copy graphic I had a red inverted square box where the body copy of my article would go, however the printed out version made my the box look unprofessional and sloppy. This new version has the article space black with a white out line. I did this using the box creation tool on premiere. I find this better as it is slightly a different shade of black which makes it stand out but not too much.

For this welcome graphic i created in photoshop.  I used the font Colonna MT and Niagara Solid to continue the housestyle as it connotes a rough style that can be linked to the target audience, the target audience being young adults. What I did on photoshop is to use the text tool to create my text, then I used the colour palette on the text tool and coloured the outlines red and the solid colour white.
This interaction connotes a all inclusive magazine. This including all the demographic in the local area this linking with the client SPH publishing as they wanted me to create a local magazine.

 for the magazine date I used the text tool in adobe photoshop. I chose the black colour as I think it sets nicely with the red border in the centre of the page. I spaced the year away the month to make the year stand out as it can link to year specific artists. for collectors. I chose this font as it quite an aggressive font that can link with the target audience. As many fonts are different to this style this can make it stand out as a date is important.

For these photos I edited on photoshop making them clear and brighter to be able to see. On InDesign I added a border of 6pt. I did this so the photos look like they look like they are on the page in a 3d where. The border also connoting importance as they stand out compared to the writing around it. All with the circle graphic on top of denoting the page number. However in my opinion the writing is not very readable to my client as they want a professional magazine to be created for a local audience.

Front Cover 

 This graphic is the bottom sell line of my front cover promoting the local names that are in this magazine. I used a red and white pattern on my text. All the impact font text was in this pattern. This done by using the fill tool on my text on Photoshop. These names that are linking to the demographic as the target audience as in their free time they will listen to these musical artists.

 For my masthead I edited the size of the square by changing it into a rectangle. I also increased the size of the font. I believe this makes it stand out more and looks better. The font I used was the Niagara font as it looked professional to have in the black. Secondly the "a" in Colona MT with the double line design being bigger than the rest of the letters. These fonts could also link 

This graphic I edited was the promotion of a feature that is in the magazine. I used the text tool to add text to my white boxes with a black stroke. I changed the colour of the band to highlight the bands name. Also I put the band in all capitals to highlight them.
