Contents Page Construction
All of the construction for the contents page was done using Adobe Photoshop.
Title Construction
Firstly, I created the initial text using the text tool in Photoshop. I then typed out the word 'Contents', forming the initial title.
Title Construction
Firstly, I created the initial text using the text tool in Photoshop. I then typed out the word 'Contents', forming the initial title.
I then chose the font 'Master of Break', in the size 36.67.
After that, I added an outer glow, inner glow and stroke to contrebute to the page furniture of my contents page.
The Outer Glow had an opacity of 75%, noise of 0%, spread of 0%, a size of 38%, a range of 50% and a gitter a gitter of 0%. In addition, the colour is white.
The inner glow had an opacity of 75%, noice at 0%, chocke of 0%, size of 13% and a range of 50%. In addition the colour is in Red.
The stroke is sized 3 pixels and the opacity is at 100%. The colour is black.
Tour Logo Construction
First used a logo sample of vinyl style logo with skeleton hands clutching it to mimic the music style.
I then used the paint tool in black to remove the text.
I then used the same masthead used on the front cover and added it to the centre of the record. I then mirrored it below to create a theme of symetry in the logo.
I then used the text tool to type in the words 'thrasher tour 2016", adding an arc of +50 for the first two words and -50 for the last word. In addition I made the text white and put it into the font 'Alice in Wonderland'.
Lastly, I removed the white background of the image using the magic want tool and reterized and merged the layers together, finally applying a stroke in white with 5 pixels to the image.
Photo Editing
Firstly, I used the spot healing tool to remove all of the pieces of ash and inconsistancies on the subject's clothing.
I then used a sample image of smoke. Due to the image having inverted colouring I then had to invert it back, after this I used the tool to select the colour range of the black background. I then used the transform tool to paste it in the correct positioning onto the photograph whilst rotating and mirroring the image to avoid a repetative image, duplicating the layer and building up the smoke around the subject, using a soft eraser to soften the edges.
Additional Photograph and Page Furiture Construction
Firstly, I added the photograph of Metallica, using the text tool to add a caption to the image and then adding a stroke effect to the photograph to make it stand out.
I then used the tool to create a box filled in white, reducing the layer opacity to 59% to make it partially transparent. I then used the text tool to insert the text, using the font 'Optimus Prime Semi Bold' in the size 6.5.
I then pasted the masthead into the upper right hand corner, then using the text tool to insert the contact information of the magazine, using a drop shadow to make the white text stand out against the white smoke in the photograph.
Adding Text and the Final Features
Firstly, I created a text box for the text to go into, setting the text colour to white. I then chose the fonts for the different areas of the text, depending on imporance. The key parts of the page listings were bolder than the main body of the text, this is because it is a different font, 'BorisBlackBloxx' which is thicker and clearer.
I then used the font 'Devanagari Sangam MN' for the smaller, less bold text.
For the titles, I used the same font as the bold text, 'Boris Black Boxx' in capital letters and in a larger size. The colour was black as i was to make a background for the text.
I used the font 'seeing stars' to create the red stars in front of the key features.
I then used the square tool to create blue boxes for the titles' backgrounds.
Lastly, I used the line tool to create white deviders in between the sections.
