Completed DPS for Paper Aeroplane



This is my completed DPS. I have the article on the right side of the page and one big image on the left. The font is one that has been used throughout the whole magazine. I added page numbers and titles along with pull quotes. This is the final product. 

Completed Contents Page for Paper Aeroplane


This is my completed contents page. I've changed the pastel colour font into the one I have used on my front cover to match the house-style. I did this by making the contents in the similar blue and some elements such as, titles and page numbers in red. 

Completed Front Cover for Paper Aeroplane


This is my completed product. I am very happy with how the improvements have made my cover look very sophisticated and real.

Contents Page DRAFT

I've attempted to play along with colours however, still I feel as the colour isn't perfect. The colour may be due to change but this is roughly how I want my contents page to look.

Paper Aeroplane Cover DRAFT

This is my completed Paper Aeroplane cover. I tried to follow the plan for my cover as much as possible however, this is the final outcome which I am quite happy with.



This is my first draft of the Paper Aeroplane Cover. Here, I have just added headlines, which may change as I carry on making more improvements. I might change the colour of the headlines to meet the colour of the '- Kernie Ken -' as I feel like the cover will look more put together that way.


DPS DRAFT

Currently I am working on my DPS, this is a draft to give an insight to how I want my music magazine DPS to look. I am adding in the article in a Q&A format. Other than That I still have to add a pull quote and title onto my main image for the DPS.

Update on Contents Page

This is a screenshot of me working on my contents page in InDesign. I want to go with a pastel blue font however it doesn't seem to work too well therefore I am considering changing it. These are the 3 images I have chosen, in the features column I've added relevant article titles so it doesn't just seen like I've added random images.

3rd Photoshoot / Room Studio

This was my third and final shoot which I did. Here once again I have Kernie, and my other model, Rose. I wanted this shoot to be laid back and chilled as the idea was to show another 'party' side of Kernie therefore I created a party effect by using disco lights. I have Rose here for extra images which I may use on my contents page.

2nd Shoot / Patel Fog Shoot

I went to a pastel fog gallery, and as the colours of the fog were pastel and my magazine theme is pastel I thought that it would be great to do a photoshoot there.
Here are some images:

Paper Aeroplane Front Cover

In today's lesson, I spent my time on photoshop working on making a draft for my magazine front cover. My house style is slightly changing as other colours suit better with my chosen image than the ones I originally chose to work with. I added some headings, and I still have to add more however, I'm somewhat happy with the turnout so far. I'm going to use the colours black, white, red and blue. This is because my model in the front cover is wearing these colours and by having the fonts in the same colour the cover looks more put together.

Using Photoshop

This was my second attempt on photoshop, just to get used to it before photoshopping the other images I want to use, I wanted to test it before I carried it out on all my other images. Therefore, in today's lesson I played around on photoshop. As the images came out darker than I wanted them to, I changed the brightness of the images and made them lighter and when I was happy with that I carried on to taking out my models blemishes out to make their skin look more even. Below is the before and after.

First Photoshoot


Below are the few of the images that I took during the photoshoot I carried out for my Magazine Paper Aeroplane. The shoot itself was quite interesting when I carried it out, this is because of many complications that took place, such as, being double booked and my camera dying on me mid-way shoot. However, at the end of the shoot, I got quite a few images that I really liked and I will be using them in my magazine.
As already said, my magazine is an indie rock, pop genre. As to why I tried to put my model in an costume which represents that well, even though the outfit it pretty basic, most indie outfits consist of baggy, oversized clothing, layers and dark colours. This is why I went with an oversized denim jacket, a dark red flannel and a basic white t-shirt as base. Later on, I added a dark blue and white scarf. 
You can very clearly tell that I have added make-up on my model. This is only to match the theme of  the magazine more. Therefore, I added eyeliner on my model, which I intended on making messy, and it smudged itself so I was happy with that as it created a careless effect. Along with that I contoured the hollows of my models cheek to create a dark and gloomy look followed by some highlight on his cheeks, to create a flow. This all created a gloomy, and serious effect which I think goes well with my theme.


This was my first test shot.
