Last week I was able to achieve getting my background to be pinker towards the end in the corner, so then when I did my headline it wouldn’t disappear. I also was then able to get my headline written and downloaded a file/ font. This was called ‘riesling’. I was also able to pick a font out for one of my subheadings. This font was ‘Poplar Std’ . here below is the progress I have made so far on my front cover.

You can also see that I have been able to produce a bar code in which I have placed in the bottom left hand corner. From my research I found that this is where most magazines place them .

For the remaining of this week  I wish to get started on my double page spread, deciding the colours and fonts. Also hopefully to complete the basics of my front cover. I will also be taking photos on Thursday 24^th so on Friday I will even possibly start editing them then.  Some problems I may occur while doing this week is again unable to do some things on Photoshop. Hopefully things will go smoothly with my photoshoot and I will get some photos.

Last week I achieved the ability to be able to change my background to a different colour whilst giving it an effect of fading into a different colour. I was then able to understand how to download and save different fonts and get them into Photoshop and InDesign.  

I was also able to plan out my double page spread sheet in InDesign. So my skills in InDesign have progressed as I am not able to plan out what my double page spread will look like and how to actually achieve this.  I didn’t really have any problems only the small fact that I wasn’t too sure as too how to use InDesign at first but after a quick chat with Steph I was sure to complete it.

This week I wish to properly start my double page spread or even my front cover.  Possible get the headline done and written out and even editing. Some problems  may occur with this is the fact that I may not know how to do some things in Photoshop as of that I will need to ask for some assistance. If i am unable to solve my problems then I think I will have to go with a second option.
