Making Process

 In order to create the spotlight effect for my article page, I had to first adjust it in photoshop and actually create it.












After it was created, the opacity level had to be adjusted in order for the text to still be easy to read. After all this was done I could now place this effect into my double page article.

Contents Page Improvements

I have edited the section under 'Interviews' to make the writing more eye catching and go with the 'Features' sections.

Article Double Page Edited

I have decided to add effect to the Article Page which represents spotlight and is relevant to the whole story of the artist, in addition to this I have increased the font of the intro in order to make it easier for the audience to read. Also I had to stretch the spotlight effect through both pages in order not to make it look odd.
In order to achieve this effect, I was required to download a photoshop brush which represented spotlight and place this effect into Illustrator.
In addition to this I have made the text smaller font, seeing as when the article will be printed the font '10' I have used before will be too large when printed. This would mean I had to re-arrange the text further to make it more eye catching and change the font of the quotes.

My Music Magazine Draft

 First draft of my music magazine cover page. To improve I need to add more 'Buzz words' and 'Puffs' in order to attract the audience.

 First draft of my Music Magazine Contents Page which in order to improve I will need to add more images and more information, as it can be seen some details are missing, however the main idea and house style of the magazine can be seen in this draft.

First Draft of my Article Page for my Music Magazine which unfortunately is not finished due to lack of space available, which means I will have to consider adding an extra page in order to fit the full interview and this means I will have to add more images of the main star.
