Rough Cut

 Front Cover & Double Page Spread

This lesson I have finished the rough cut of my double page spread and front cover and I am so impressed with what I have done.

For my double page spread I downloaded 'graffiti' font to make it look more realistic. I feel that I have produced a really well designed double page spread that captures the indie style that I am going for. I also think that it follows the classic codes and conventions of music magazines such as Q and NME and the style definitley corresponds with the NME style! I have spend all lesson focusing on trying to make it look as professional as possible. 

Next lesson I am going to start my contents page and once I have finished then go onto Photoshop and try and make the graffiti as realistic as possible by blending it into the brick wall! 

Also I have been speaking to my teacher about the text in the columns because it is quite hard to read so next lesson he is going to show me a way to make the text stand out more against the brick wall. 

For a rough cut I am really happy with my progress, so over the weekend I am going to try and plan my contents.
