front cover

The first thing I done in this task was take pictures I needed for my magazine. As it was a grime magazine I had to get specific pictures that suited the genre. To accomplish this I made my artist wear dark colours and street clothing which is highly linked to the grime genre. After my artist had the appropriate attire I got a good quality camera and started taking pictures of my artist against a plain white wall as this would be easiest to cut out using Photoshop.  After I got the significant amount of photos I needed for my front cover of my magazine I started going through them and selected the best ones. Once this was done I started working around with fonts. After I found a suitable font I could use on my front cover I then started to include other text and found that my magazine was coming along well as there was an obvious cohesion with the color scheme and the style of font. This was a good sign as it suggested that I was meeting the right codes and conventions of other grime magazines. As soon as all this was complete I then had to use one of the images I had taken with my camera and fit it in with my text. During this process there were a lot of problems as I had to choose from about 5 possible other images, eventually with help from a member of staff and other pupils in my class we all came to an agreement what image to use and this was the outcome.
