I then chose my 4 photos, 1 for the main "Front Cover",which was the one of Georges mid shot, page and 3 for the "Contents Page", i started by cutting out all the photos from their backgrounds using a magnetic lasso tool in Photoshop. Next i started work on the "Front Cover". I decided to use red and black for the text, i didn't add in a third colour because i thought with the colour on Georges top it would be too hectic. I also tried to use the same red that was on Georges top for the masthead so it made the magazine look professional as well as enhancing the link between George and the magazine. when adding text i firstly did the masthead as using font "Helvetica" which then carried out throughout the rest of the pages, i chose this font as it is a very striking font yet still easy to read. I added a different colour background colour that was still subtle so not to distract from the main subject and text of the magazine. And finally i enhanced the photo of George by taking away the shine in his glasses and any moles or spots and making his t-shirt brighter so it stood out.
For the "Contents Page" firstly i added a soft grey background and i mainly used texts of different sizes to add character to the page, i chose to use the same green as the one in the school logo in the photo i took to try and make the page as professional as i could. i added the three photos, again cutting them out using the magnetic lasso tool and enhancing them slightly, on the contents page to finish. But the last thing i did was add a page number to the contents page.
