Amy Oughton A2 Media: Magazine Cover Progress Three

Magazine Cover Progress Three

I then opened a new Photoshop document and changed the size and resolution of the document. I changed the size because the Little White Lies magazines are not A4 like most magazines, they are smaller. I made it 20cm x 24.5cm.

I then began creating the Little White Lies logo. I created a white circle and added a barcode around the top. In usual magazines, the barcode is at the bottom or side, that is why I chose this magazine as it is different and has a different style/look. I then found the font that matched online and added the letters to create the middle of the logo and used a different font for the issue number, price and date etc. I used a typewriter like font for this, I couldn't get the exact font so I used the closest possible.

I then added my main image by dragging the layer from one document to the other. I placed it almost central, slightly to the right as it looked better this way rather than in the centre.

I then made the ragdoll smaller and placed them around the main image, I rotated some and scattered them to make them seem as if they were falling down from the top. Like on the cover I based it on. It also relates to the plot of the trailer.

I then decided which font for the masthead that I liked the best, I played around and tried out a few but in the end, settled upon the font shown below.

I then used the brightness tool to make the overall cover look darker as it looked too faint.

A2 Target Grade - A

To achieve my target my research, planning and evaluation must be detailed, effectively communicated and presented digitally, using a wide variety of formats. I need detailed
research into similar products and target audience and to show the process of planning by including excellent work on shotlists, drafts, storyboards, scripts, locations and props. I need to show full evidence of the research and planning informing the construction process. My evaluation must reflect my excellent understanding of forms and conventions, an understanding of the use of new media throughout the stages of production, the way my ancillary and primary tasks combine effectively. There will be an excellent understanding of the significance of audience feedback. My production work, across the formats, will demonstrates excellent creativity and imagination as I seek to make them as convincing as possible and it will also reflect my mastery in technical skills such as controlled use of the camera, attention to framing, variety of shot sizes, close attention to mise-en-scène, appropriate transitions and use of sound.
