Magazine creation process

Image
 This is my magazine creation process where i will be showing the process of making the double page spread, contents page and the front cover magazine.     This was the article i wrote for my double page spread, i first wrote it on my notes then i fixed any grammar mistakes in the article so i can add it to double page spread. In the double page spread photo you can see i used pic-collage to edit the photo by adding borders, writing, and two smaller photos. For my contents page i also used pic-collage to edit it. I started off by adding a border then adding a background and then adding additional photos i took. I also added the page numbers and what their content is. Before  After For my front cover i used the website canva, i chose a magazine template that matched my magazine genre and added the photo i took for the front cover i then added my magazine name, date, barcode, subheading, heading and website.

 For my magazine design planning i used the website canva to work on the front cover of the magazine. Its an easy to use website which gives you templates of what genre of magazine you want and you can edit the colors, fonts, pictures, texts, adding stickers and more. I linked a tutorial down below on how to use canva for magazine covers. https://youtu.be/vayv4ylDNZI For my double spread sheet and contents i used the apps picsart and piccollage to edit and design them because there were more options to edit the pictures rather than using canva  Piccollage Picsart

Double page spread planning

This is my double page spread planning, i started off by adding grids to make it easier to separate and label where everything is going to be on the double page spread. I will have my heading and subheading on the left on top and under it will be the article where i will talk about the brand juicy couture ,how it was one of the most famous brands in the 2000’s and how the juicy couture trend is coming back in style. The picture will take up the whole page but the right side is going to be where the model is so the clothes are easier to see, i will also add two other pictures i took of the juicy couture tracksuits one from the 2000’s and a 2021 one to compare both.

  This vogue magazine cover is similar to what I am aiming for for my magazine. Its similar because of the colourful colours, minimalism, high fashion and more. I also like that there isn't much text on the cover its nice and simple which can grab the readers attention to the fashion and pictures. For my magazine I could use this as a guide, it could also make the magazine look and be more professional or more towards high fashion, not only is may magazine gonna aim for that but its also gonna aim for the old fashion trends that are making a come back (example: Y2K fashion or brands bringing back old designs) and the target audience can be both younger and older people because the younger audience get to see the latest trends and the older audience get to see the old fashion trends that are coming back in style. This is a double page spread with a model posing in different positions and pictures to show her outfit more well, this seems to be a "how to" or "get the sa...
