DPS 1

Here I designed the bottom of the magazine with the dates and page numbers. I also figured out what font I wanted to use for the Headline along with creating my 'puff'

DPS 2

On publisher I laid out my text as to how I wanted it and transferred it my page. I ensured that it was all the same length. I also created my standfirst and added it in.

DPS Final

Here I added colour to the questions to separate them and to make it stand out more.

FRONT COVER DRAFTS

Front Cover 1

Here I laid my cover lines in the position I wanted. I also put the picture and the Masthead in the position I wanted. I did this using the guides.

Front Cover 2

In order to make my magazine different I decided to add a 'handwriting' type text with a slant. I made it bright pink so it would stand out and fit in with my theme.

Front Cover Final

I added the bar code and price to my page. This way it is finished.

TAKING PHOTOS

Strengths

I think that the strenghs of my photos would be that the makeup that i did onto my models stand out because its bright and colourful which makes it quite bold. Also, i like the positioning of the models, they are both standing next to eachother which makes them look like the main attraction and it helps them stand out. Also their facial expressions are good.

Weaknesses

Although the make up was good, I think that in order to make it better i will have to re do my photoshoot. I don't like the background in these set of photos, I will try and get a plain white background for next time as the background i have so far doesnt look professional. Also I only had two models and ideally I'd like three. Also I want to change the outfits of the models as i would like a little more colour. Also i want to change the positioning of the models too.
