Useful websites that helped me make my Magazine

There were a number of useful websites that helped me make my magazine as real as possible and helped with small and big aspects.  

this website helped me with my chosen photos as I used it to put nice filters on them to make them stand out more.

 

Another useful website I used was called myfonts.com and I used this for my masthead and slogan on my front cover

However I edited my masthead a little on photo shop to make it more eyecatching 

 

 

 

Making a Puff

This is the construction of the puff that is on my magazine cover page

Making my magazine logo

Below is the construction of my magazines logo. It is placed at the top right hand corner of my magazine and I did it on Photoshop. 

 

Firstly I selected the circle tool and made a circle.

I then chose a textile for the circle to make it look more appealing.

after choosing  textile I selected a tool which allowed me to look at a number of different shapes and I chose two music notes. I placed them in the middle as they represent the music for the magazine. I then went to the text tool and types in the magazines name and slogon and changed the slogon red as it links to the colour scheme.
