Photoshop Practice (1)

Before I created my Preliminary task I decided to make a trial magazine on PhotoShop so I could familiarise myself with each tool and how they work. I decided to create a Pop magazine for a 13-18 year old, female audience.  The main models for the magazine were The Vamps. I decided to use The Vamps for my models, because they are a fresh, new band in the music industry and the female audience seem to really like them. I hadn't used much of a colour scheme for this front cover, because I felt that the styling in the picture was bright enough and I didn't want to overcrowd the cover with multiple colours. The colour I chose to stick with throughout the front cover is black because it contrasts with the white background and the bright colours the models are wearing. I had found this image of The Vamps on Google of one of their photoshoots for either another magazine or their single artwork. The barcode I used in the bottom left hand corner was also found on google. To get the Masthead, I used a website called http://www.dafont.com to find the right style and font for my magazine and audience. This front cover doesn't have any cover lines or sell lines on it, because I ran out of time when creating it. Time skills is something I need to improve on when creating both the college magazine and my music magazine.
