These are the shapes that I made that to mount my text on my pages

Positives: These text boards effectively connote the nature of the magazine through the use of colours i.e. green connotes nature and wild life and yellow connotes danger and sunshine etc.

Negatives  on the edges of some of boards are rough to appear torn although this is a good effect and connoted rouged ness it appears untidy. 

Positives:

The shapes offer a certain diversity and work well as banners to accompany the text and makes the text easier to read

They break up the page to denote different sections

Negatives:

The shapes are not completely perpendicular and at slightly wonky and needs fixing
and I could do with adding some more

The bottom text board would need altering as the pictures are not my own

  

LO4: evaluation

LO4: final production

LO4: exporting final magazine pages

i have exported both my contents and my double page spread as a PDF file, because it is a high quality lossless file and will not compromise the content when being printed, this is how 'The Great Outdoors' magazine that I Pastige to make my magazine uses, by not compromising the quality of the pages the magazine can still be marketed and distributed how I specified it would be in my marketing and distribution section. As a result of using PDF files my product will appear high quality and detailed once sent to the printers.

When I exported the images I used I exported them as a JPEG file this is because it is a high quality lossless file and will not deteriorate the quality of the image when placed into my magazine pages.

when I set up my files with the resolution set to 300 resolution so it would be a high quality and detailed image.

I exported my front page as a TIFF file because it is a high quality lossless file and will not ruin the documents quality and will be compatible when being sent to print and will be high quality and not be pixelated or blurt, this is the file type that is used in the industry that 'The Great Outdoors' magazine that I Pastige to make my magazine.

Based on the feed back that I received from my client and target audience:

Positives

• My contents page is easy to read and Is well laid out and has a good range of picture and is nice to look at.
• my house style is consistent through out my magazine and is simple and easy to read

Negatives

• A drop capital could make the DPS body copy look better

LO4: evidence of editing

Combining text with images

 I incorporated a quote from one of my interviewees to draw attention to the article and draw people in and denotes how the DofE participants feel about the award

i added picture to my front cover with banners that were made using the rectangle tool in Photoshop and then i used a text tool to write on what piece of the magazine they refer to 



Things done to create meaning

 To create meaning i put a main cover line on my magazine that referred to the main cover image to create anchorage to give the image some meaning and purpose to the reader.

 I adjusted the saturation using the saturation bar to make the scene appear warmer and have more positive connotations and fit the style of the magazine.

 Changes made

 I have changed the colour for the push pins to fit with my house style theme and so it would match the title colour, I also used to bevel and emboss tool so they would look like they have more depth and look more like push pins the push pin effect as more personal connotations
