LO4 version controls (Front page)

 Version controls (Front page).

While creating the front page of my magazine I took many screenshots and saved many (gradually more advanced) versions. Below I have noted, step by step how I created this page.

In this first version of the front cover of my magazine I have added the initial assets that I will require to create the top section of the page (that including a masthead, date and the word "Free" in large text so that people walking past the magazine after it has been published will know that they don't have to pay for it.

After Placing my initial assets I have moved/ manipulated them in order to better mirror the look of a real magazine. I have added red as a house style colour for the pager as well here.

Here I have added a cover line and main cover line as well as changing the fonts for the word "Free" and "Sheffields best indie rock mag!" to impact as that I feel that it better connotes the rebellious nature of rock music.

In this version of my work I have changed the cover line which I had created to make it part of my main cover line as well as changing the reds to blues to create consistency in house style colour for my whole magazine.

After this I added a cover line about the upcoming "Tramlines festival" as well as a manipulated version of their logo which will make it fit in with the house style of the page

Here I have added the rest of my cover lines as well as an edited image of the model whom the main cover line refers to. I also changed the colour of the Masthead in order to make it more clear against the dark image. 

After this I have edited my cover lines to make them brighter

Following this I have compared my magazine against others in the same genre and seen that there is not usually so much constancy in the cover line colour as mine has therefore I have changed the colour of my middle one.  

Here I have edited the page so that the model appears in front of the masthead . This Is commonplace in real magazines and connotes that the mode is the most important page of the feature.

After this I edited the caption that reads "Sheffield's best indie rock mag!" in order to make it the brightest thing on the cover, making it stand out to a reader.
