Double Page Spread

When I'm doing my double page spread I am going to have to make sure I combine both conventions seen in other Pop-Punk Magazines in to mine. I shall do this by looking a similar magazine and see if I can get a similar effect. I have a plan on using a splater sort of background to make it look more Pop-Punky. I have to make sure the Interview I will use will be based around the audience I'm aiming for which is teenagers

Logo change and new logo development

I have finally decided to change my logo name and design from the previous "Collapse" to "Absolute Punk". Below is how I changed the logo around to fit on my front cover

This shows a basic black logo and then added red to improve this

Cutting out images

Here is the picture I'm going to use for my front cover. I took this screen shot because I believe it showed a good example of a typical Pop-punk band which would fit nicely as a stereotypical band. I will first have to cut round the band members because currently there is a lot of waste picture round it.






To do this I will use this tool in photoshop. As the picture shows it shows the lasso tool
which makes cutting out images very simple.










This shows the final picture cut out and ready to be positioned on my front cover.

Objective April 23rd

Need to take final images and make sure I have got my interview with EmmaJo complete over the weekend.

Draft pictures

These show my draft pictures which I took recently. I'm currently not sure if I will use these images in the final magazine or take more with another person added in.

Taking good quality pictures

One thing I have had to look at in detail is making sure when I take a photo its a good quality one. This is important in making it look as professional as possible because a professional magazine doesn't have blury pictures or shots that are cluttered.




Also making sure the lighting is right is also very important because on my first take at taking pictures the lighting was far too strong which it impossible to see the face of the person. This is not professional






The second try was a much better success with the lighting. Now I just need to take the draft shots and make sure the shadow is not shown as much.









For my final pictures I need to make sure that they are animated and are actually doing something while looking at the camera.

Objective April 22nd

Explian how I took my pictures and the correct lighting I have used.I will have completed this by end of the day
