Mock Ups

Tutorial 3

I wanted my 'star' to have stubble to I used an effect on photoshop. I didn't know how to do this before so I used a tutorial from youtube. 


I chose not to do this as it didn't go with my model.

Tutorial 2

Originally I wanted to use a fish eye effect on the image and as I didn't know how to do it, I decided to google it and find a couple of online tutorials and this is what I found and used to learn:

Although it seemed like a good idea at first I didn't like the end result

Typography

I am going to choose sans serif style fonts as I am doing a indie style magazine therefore it fits in with the conventions of it and theme.

Photography (draft 1)

These were my first set of photos. As you can see there aren't many and therefore not a good variety to choose from. Also the quality is not very good hence why I took more photos.

Tutorial 1

I decided to use a gradient for the background. I wasn't too sure how to do this either so I also googled that and found a useful tutorial on Youtube:

Initial ideas

Indie / alternative magazine.

5 person band on the front.

Inspiration from the Q edition with beady eye on the front cover.

I want the members of the 'band' to be wearing bomber, harrington, flannel shirts or leather jackets with polo shirts, plain white / black / grey tees or button ups, black / dark blue jeans and converse / vans. Ideally I want the main person to be wearing a bucket hat and round sunglasses.
