Print Screens of the Popsplash magazine
This is the blank initial page of the popsplash magazine that I done. The format of the page is A4 international paper and the colour is RGB.
I opened a new layer to do the next thing which was writing the masthead of the magazine “Popsplash”. I also decided that I wanted to give the title a bit of edge to it so it would not be just plain and boring, what I used was a brush that I downloaded it from the website – psbrushes.com and applied to the title.
As any magazine it needs to have a price and a date of the issue which I have added to it by using the “T” icon on the left side of the Photoshop page.
Also the magazine needed a bar code on the front over which I copied and pasted it on the new layer of the Photoshop page from the Google images and then I went to “edit” – “free transform” to resized so it could fit well within the layout of the magazine.
As I was carrying on with the creation of the magazine I noticed that the masthead still was not to satisfactory standard therefore what I did was that I added more extra detail using the same brush as I did before but this time to the side of the page giving it more effect.
The photographs of the band “Norboyz� were taken from the internet and then pasted into a new layer resized and linked together all of the four images. This was done this way for the reason that as a band the members had to be close together.
These are the following screen shots of each member being putted together to form the final photograph for the front cover after they were all copied and pasted and resized it the main images was done.
The main article of the magazine Popsplash was about the “Norboyz” therefore the quote about had to stand out from the rest of the other articles. What I did was that I double clicked on the layer and used the effects to give it more glow for the text to stand out more.
The next step was adding the banner to the front cover, it was very simple to do for the reason that all I done was use the “T” icon to add the text and use the colour to match it all together.
After the banner was done for the reason that it was not standing out much from the rest of the page I added a black background to it and it actually worked. This was done by drawing a rectangular and adding colour to it.
After I started to add the articles to the front cover and give them each a different colour. The writing was done by using the “T� and the colour was chosen from the little box on the button left side of the Photoshop page.
The same process was applied on the other articles. The other last thing that I did was adding a background layer to he “Lilly Allen� article for it to stand out more.
This is the final product of the “Popsplash� magazine that I done for the research and planning towards my final music magazine project.
