Preliminary task.

As you can see, my ideas have developed considerably over the two tasks. In the preliminary task i stuck to a very simple formula and made the page too overcrowded and "busy". In my preliminary task, I also used too many colours which clashed and failed to make an impact visually. Also, my photoshop abilities were limited and thus I couldn't use text or images very well.

This is my final contents page. As you can see I have continued the use of the title font. The main image is linked to my main article about "Life on the road" and addiction to hobnobs. I decided to use this ikmage because I thought it would intrigue the audience and encourage them to read on to the article. I am thoroughly pleased with the bordering and text font which took ages to find the right one. I feel the red and black provide good contrast and reach out to the audience.


I then added coloured borders to the text to make them stand out. I feel the colours reflect the youthful "new music" scene. I decided to put my images at angles to make them more appealing and make the page more lively and give the appearance of motion.



I then adde more images and positioned them in the corners and edges to draw the reader into the centre. However it still appeared too basic.

This is the original template for my front cover. I had used the magnetic lassoo tool to seperate the image used from its background which I felt would have a limited effect on the front cover.
