Since finishing the covers and contents pages for the magazine, I have been able to finalise the website to go with the magazine. I have created a homepage, a page for each issue of the magazine and a subscription page. The homepage links to all the other pages. The magazine pages have a link backContinue reading “Final blog update”

Blog Update
Today I have been working on my Contents pages to fill in the gap that was at the bottom of the page. I’ve made a call to action advert for money off a magazine subscription and added it to the bottom of each page. I think this works really well. I may need to adjustContinue reading “Blog Update”
Blog Update
I’ve spent a lot of time today working on the contents pages within the magazine. I like the way the front covers are looking but the contents pages didn’t match very well so I’ve looked at the format and other examples of contents pages and tried to make mine more in keeping with the magazine.Continue reading “Blog Update”
Update
Today I’ve been working on my front covers and contents pages in Photoshop. I’ve moved some things around so the front covers are less cluttered and the contents pages both now have the social media red banner with the links and logos. Both contents pages and front covers now have a very similar format. IContinue reading “Update”
Cover layout
I looked at “The Week” magazines on the internet to see what else I could capture in my “Weekend” design. One thing I worked on today was the green background going around the edge of the magazine. This is to link with the captions at the top explaining what’s inside the magazine. The green colourContinue reading “Cover layout”
Cover and contents pages
Work from today on the cover and contents pages. Sorting out the images a bit more: I’ve played about with moving the social media logos from the front cover to the contents page and put a tag line on the front cover where the logos were. The tag line is similar to ‘The Week’ taglineContinue reading “Cover and contents pages”
More Work on the Cover
I’ve been working on the cover photo in Photoshop, to cut out the dog’s head so that it overlaps the banner of the magazine name, ‘The Weekend’. It took quite a while to do and was quite fiddly but I think it’s worked. The rest of the cover wording and pictures still need to beContinue reading “More Work on the Cover”
Cover Update
I’ve made more progress on my second front cover for the magazine. Today I managed to work out how to create a background section for the top of the magazine so that the words would stand out and the background wouldn’t be confusing. I was quite pleased with the progress I made. This cover stillContinue reading “Cover Update”
Magazine cover 2
Today I’ve been taking photos and working on the second cover for my magazine. It’s not finished but here’s the progress so far so you can see what I’ve been doing.
Working on the Front Cover
I’ve been working on the front cover today to try and get the layout a bit more sorted. This basic layout will be good for both magazines and issue 1 is nearly complete, it just needs some more photos and a bit of organising with the text. Below is a screenshot of my progress soContinue reading “Working on the Front Cover”
