SECTION 3-Constructing the Product

Finally the magazine I planned to make was a magazine solely based on an underground band. As this was a music magazine I decided to put the band member’s picture only on the cover page. Out of the five, two pictures were photo shopped and merged together to create the cover page of the magazine. A variety of fonts and font colours were used on the cover page to make it more eye catching. I used colors like blue, green, red and yellow to attract people.

The next page is the editor’s note which was designed in such a way that it gave it an attractive look, with the base color yellow and a guitar for the background with reduced opacity to blend it with the colour.

The Next page is the table of contents with again an attractive color, orange with a bit of yellow mixed and once again a guitar for the background with reduced opacity to blend it with the colour. The guitar was used as a background on every page to give the magazine uniformity.

The fourth page includes information about the band as well as an original picture of all the band members. I used yellow color and once again a guitar for the background with reduced opacity to blend it with the colour.

The fifth and sixth pages are designed in the same way but with different colours. Both the pages included a shape in which the band member’s personal information is written and on each page there are two original pictures of the band members.

The seventh page included a song written by the band itself. It was designed using the gradient tool and a shape in which the song was written. This also had a guitar for the background with reduced opacity to blend it with the colour.

The final page includes an advertisement, related to different products of the Apple Company. It includes seven pictures out of which six are original ones and one is taken from the net and edited.

Over all most of the decisions made were to make the magazine look consistent. However different colour schemes, images were used to make sure that the magazine does not look boring and is appealing to the target audience. The designing was done using the software named “Adobe Photoshop” and even the text was written there and there. The designing was done using Photoshop as this gives a lot of options to design the pages of the magazine in a different way.

I usually paint to express my feelings, and music fulfills that for me.
