Question 4


Question 5

Question 6


Question 7

Since i created this video i have changed my designs as audience feedback led me too. For example; i changed my main image as it just didn't work for my target audience and my contents and double page spread was rearranged as it fitted better.

Double page spread edits

Contents edits

Final front cover

This is my final front cover, with my final image as i re-took it. I believe this appeals to my target audience more than my other images as she has open body language and a smiling face to attract the audience. Also the pink plain background contrasts with her yellow cardigan to make it more eye-catching for the target readers.

New front cover

I changed my main image as the other was too busy for the eye.

Edited front cover

Front cover image

My front cover image changed because of the quality of the first picture. This picture uses facial expressions and hand gestures to reflect the main cover story. The picture also reflects the target audience, as the target audience for this magazine is teen girls.

This was my original front cover however, i decided to change it to make it look more realistic and to appeal to the target audience.

Final front image

This is the first version of my main image.

This is the cut out version of the main image.

This is the edited version, as i cut out the image and put an outer glow on it to make it stand out.

I changed the image once again as it wasn't right for the audience and front cover.

Contents and Double Page Spread images

Contents images

This is an image that relates to my front cover.

This is the final image for the contents page, an article about Cheryl Cole. I edited two images and put them together using Adobe Photoshop to create this. To make it look like she is standing by her posters of Cheryl Cole to re-address the message of her being a crazed fan, I blended and blurred around her head in with the other image. I made the background image darker using Adobe Photoshop to make it look like the camera flash on her face mainly.
This is the rough and cut out version of the original image. I made her head and her hair look neater by blending and blurring it. I also edited the top of her head as in the image i had chopped it off. I done this through Adobe Photoshop by colour picking her hair colour and painting and blending it in with the rest.
This is the original image i had used on my contents page before editing.
This is a image for my contents page relating to all the letters sent in from fans.
This is another image used for the contents page to relate to the Double Page Spread.
