Creating Text

Looking at my magazine I could see I only had my central image and title. I created some text boxes saving two each on the same layer. On the top left hand side underneath the title, but quite close to the central image, the text says “100 top RnB superstars of all times” underneath that in smaller text there are a couple names of RnB superstars that are mentioned “Aaliyah, Beyonce, Trey Songz, Tyrese, New Edition and many more”. On the top right hand side underneath the title and next to the central image I used the shape tool and created a circle and pasted an image of a CD and inside in red font I wrote Free CD around in a circular size on the inside. This is to attract people, because they love free things.


Still on the right hand side but lower next to his arm I created a text box the text says “Is RnB Dead?” in white font Tw Cen MT Condensed Extra Bold. Also on the left hand side lower down to about where his arm is created another text box saying “Beyonces top 10 looks for summer” in Rockwell Condensed and white font.

I looked at my magazine and thought it seemed a bit plain so I decided to create text that is near the bottom of the magazine but it looks like a banner. I made two text boxes and typed in both of them “Asher’s new album release” and under still in the text both I wrote “Read more about” and I pulled them together. I also created a transparent affect; the text box was red while the writing is quite see through this is to go with the colour scheme, at the bottom right hand side of the transparent affect i placed a bar code on,this is so my product uses the conventions of other media products.



I realised my front cover consisted of the colours red, black and white so I decided to colour my title in white and red to go with the scheme. The “Dyam” is red and the “Fool” is white. By next week I would like to complete my magazine to the best of my ability.
