Here is a stencil spray of ron burgundy from the movie anchorman. This was created by finding an image of Ron and adding a "cutout" filter on photoshop, then (on different layers) separate the 3 main layers of tone, printing them off seperate and cutting out the black from the paper to make a stencil. Once the stencils have been cut out they were stuck to another piece of paper and then sprayed with black ink. after the ink was dry, all of the black ink stencil sprays were scanned into photoshop and wee edited by changing the colour of the black ink and the using an image overlay effect to create this blending of colour.

Final DPS

This is my final double page spread design i created in adobe InDesign.

i have included many different, creative features such as plenty of graphics and also including hand drawn images to replace the guitar and also to add much more of a background/scene to the image with the amp, mic, and second guitar on the floor all with drop shadows to make it seem much more 3D.

magazine fina ideas

For my as graphics mock exam, I have produced two magazine covers in adobe in-design. Below are the final pieces that i have come up with. I am happy with my results, although there are one or two things that I would have liked to chance or alter now I look back over them.

This first image is my first design for a music magazine cover. I am happy with the layout of the text and cover lines and also the photo, but one of the things I would have altered is the magazine title. The title was a design I originally drew and then scanned into Photoshop to be edited. What I think I could have improved in the editing of the title is use of the pen tool and make a vector sketch with many coloured layers to create a crisp and even cartoon style title. But other than that I found that writing my cover lines before hand was a real help and made it much easier for me to complete my work, and also the magazine research,drafting and photo shoot work helped me to put together my chosen cover design..

This next image is my second magazine design. yet again one of the main things I would liked to have changed/improved is the title and the use of a vector sketch using the pen tool in adobe Illustrator like I talked about before, and I have thought about adding a date and price to the magazine to finish it off and make it seem more like a real magazine cover.
