changes and challenges

  1. my original idea of having a black background dint work so i changed it to white, this didnt work either because it didnt look grungy enough and that was what i wanted to create. i ended up using a picture of crumpled paper and darkening it this worked really well for my front cover. Also wasnt going to have any other pictures on the front but of the main band, but it looked to simple and not as interesting, so i used three other picture as free posters i really liked this because it made i look more attarctive and appealing to my target audience.
  2. firstly i wanted my contents page white as i thought it would contrast well with my model being all in black, but i changed this and used a blurred imaged of the crumpled picture and made it a lighter colour this worked reall well as it kept the flow as a rock magazine.
  3. for my feature story i setteled for a black background and had the writing in black and red to make it really stand out this did work well, i also added in some text grabs and i made them yellow as this contrasted really well and stuck out (they are very eye catching).

The main challenge i had to over come was the pictures because i wanted some of the hair that was out of place in my picture and having a dark background really showed the bits of white background. i over came this by taking the picture back in to photoshop and using a magic eraser to help the picture not lose some of the highlights, but smooth them down to not show attention.
