Music Magazine - Reader Profile


This is my reader profile that I created from the answers I collected from my survey analysis.
I felt these images really portrayed the unanimity of those participants that completed the survey and therefore potential readers.

The Talk - College Magazine

These are my first magazine projects I created in Photoshop CS5.
The aim of this task was to design a magazine that would appeal to college students, bearing in mind it must be appropriate for the target audience. In this case it would be teenagers aged between 15-19

My Magazine Inspirations

Similar to the CD Cover presentation, I also looked at a few magazine front covers and made a few opinions on what I thought they represented and how they were appealing.

Pink Album, writing techniques

 (Original)

When looking at Pink's album cover she has the effect of a black and white background and the pink coloured writing of her name in the foreground. Although the background can be seen through the writing.
I attempt to use this effect by using a different Pink picture and trying to get the colouring similar and and still see the background.


Using Adobe Photoshop CS5, I first changed the adjustments of this photo to black and white, and idividually added 4 text boxes for each letter. Filled each letter to pink and increased the size. To turn the 'i' by free transforming the letter there is a double ended arrow in the corner that allows me rotate the letter.
To create the effect so I can see the background I had to individually double click on their layers and change the 'Blend mode' to Multiply.



Once finished this is the final product!
