Many From One - Two Page Magazine Layout

Program: Adobe Photoshop CS4

I made a two page layout of a magazine article. I WAS going to do a Tron magazine, but I randomly thought of a concert, and found this beautiful image and couldn't say no. I wanted to make the pages different than the example, so I searched online and was inspired by this and this. I took the font and cut it out so that it continued with the image when it says "But where do these lights come from". I then took the image on the left and cut it up. This ended up looking like more of a website than a magazine, but that's okay. It would have been easy to make it look more like a magazine with more font, but by the time it was offered, I had already fit everything in perfectly and was not going to redo it. I'm not really happy with the result, it looks like a webpage layout. The only thing I like is the way the image continues in the picture, and how well of the words fits. And I like the picture, but that's about it, I think it's from sims or some other video game. It's not real humans.

Skydiving Coupon

Program Used: Abode Photoshop CS4

This is my coupon for skydiving, I took an image of a girl skydiving from google (I didn't like the stock images) and cut her out. Then I found a picture of earth that I liked and put it underneath. Then I put font a matched them colour to her outfit. The font was hard to read because the background is so colourful, so I added a black shadow so it was legible, I think it made it look better too, so that was bonus. I found anothe image of someone skydiving, cut her out, and coloured it straight black, then edited it until it looked recognizable so that I could make an awesome logo. I put the name in and added more shadows. I am relatively happy with the result. I think it's a but too busy and I don't like how big the font has to be, but that is how advertizing is done to I understand why it needs to look the way it does.
 On a side note: I will be going skydiving with my dad after I graduate. This has made me more excited about that.

Business Cards





Program Used: Adobe Photoshop CS4

These are business cards that I changed the colours of. Not a lot to say here. They have the different colour schemes. I like the Monochromatic the best, because turquoise is my favourite colour.

Table ot Contents


Program Used: Adobe Photoshop CS4

This is my Call of Duty table of contents for a magazine. This was pretty easy to make, I just played around with the settings and cut out some of the objects. Everything just seemed to fit into place on it's own, I would try to fint somewhere to place the image and every time I would find the perfect area. The hardest part of this projects was making the knifed 52, and even that was easy. The colours go together reasonably well. I'm happy with te way it turned out, I don't really think it looks perfessional, just it looks similar to the example, so that's good.
