Ripped Paper Effect

Below is a video I used from youtube which helped me create a ripped effect which you can see on the double page spread

Double Page Spread- Design ideas

I wanted to have a rose or plant to make it look like it was growing up the page, this is because I wanted to create a link between her name "ROSE ROCK" and the double page spread, however when I looked at the image closer I thought it didnt look right

The Process

The image above shows what idea I previously had. I thought that it would be more visually appealing however I soon realised that there wouldnt be enough space to add in sufficient content. Eventhough I prefer my intial design I feel as if the Contents page I have now fits the conventions more appropriately

My Finished Product

This is my front cover; I think that its improved immensely from the preliminary task and it looks like a real a real front cover. It has followed the conventions of a typical magazine as it has a large masthead, a plug, a strong image and a coherent colour scheme. I have made many changes to the image as well, the colours of the models eyes were previously blue, the rose was previously purple and the picture has also been brightened.

The contents page has also developed a lot in terms of the progression from the prelim to now. I feel as if the layout is clearer cut and looks a lot better than my prelim contents. It also now includes an editor’s letter which makes the whole page look more authentic. My contents has sections so that it is easier to read.

The double page spread is what I found hardest to do; this is because it was harder to fill the spaces. I decided for the artist to hold her own pull quote. I felt that it was more creative than simply having a plain image on the right page. I used a variety of different tools such as adjusting brush levels to create a ripped effect.

My Flat Plans

My front cover will hopefully look like the scamp above. I plan on using a fuzzy font to reflect the rock sort of genre. A plug is added to attract my audience and the image of the artist will be the most prominant feature. I feel as if this scamp looks effective and if I stick to it then ill have a good outcome.

This is my contents page, it follows the conventions of a real contents page so I hope to stick with this style.

My double page spread is what I found most challenging to design due to the vast amount of space I had to work with. Eventually i ended up sticking with a simplistic idea.

Shot List

Above is a scan of my shot list. I chose to have the guitar shot as I plan to edit the image and place the text for my double page spread in the guitar. the second image I chose to plan was on with my model siting against a wall with a guitar in her hand, I did this because I wanted her to look as if she was leaning on the page which could be an effect image. Another image which I find eye catching is the model looking in to a mirror with her reflection thats different looking back at her, this will emphasise her change of character.
