I have been focused upon editing this week, and so far it’s been pretty good. I’ve been designing the cover, content page and double page spread in such a manner that I can simply slide in the photos of the band members I have and edit them there and then. Here is my progress on each so far:
The title is in a font from dafont.com, a massive and incredibly useful font resource. I decided to focus on three colours for the entire magazine to get a feeling of familiarity and solidarity from the readers, and firmly establish the unique aspect of my particular magazine. It is also a system I have seen in the other magazines I have studied, or if not three colours then at least sticking to a very tight spectrum of colours. Red and black are both indicative colours of the genre of Heavy Metal, as I have established, and white exists to provide a contrast to both.
Editing this together has been challenging, but ultimatly very enjoyable as well as an oppotunity to hone my skills with photoshop. I am also very happy with the editing thus far. All that remains is to clean up the pages, create the text and insert the photos into their appropriate slots.
