Burn Tool to make bottom left corner to distract from bad quality image

Applying two backgrounds


Change of background due to pixilation 
Arrangement of photo's. I placed the third photo there particularly as the direction of the buildings
can draw the readers attention to the writing.

Feature Page Spread; My Photographs

I took all of these photos using my mobile phone. 


Feature Page Design Ideas

These are the two design ideas that I created for my feature page spread. The direction I decided to go in after doing my two mind maps is: travel. My theme for this page is Brighton as I have a picture of a street in Brighton as the background on the left page, and brighton sky/pebbles on the second page of the two designs. I have chosen to further develop the first design idea because I think the sky background on the page on the right is more visually and emotionally effective compared to the pebble background. I think this because the bright sky will attract readers more and allow them to feel positive as you do during the summer due to the clear blue sky.

Last Improvement of Advert; main aspects of my new advert




My final advert design

As I found it difficult to write a slogan on the chocolate sauce at the bottom I will paste the slogan onto the adverts using Adobe Illustrator so it will look like this:

Improved Advert

I made this advert due to the fact that I was unsatisfied with the outcomes of my previous advert designs. I decided to use Vladimir Konca as an inspiration for this new advert as I used edible substances (coffee beans and hot chocolate) to write the words with. Instead of taking a picture and adding it to a document on Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator I created the whole advert on a piece of paper that I will crop so the advert is only visible. I will then enlarge it to a larger size to fit my magazine. I decided to stick with naming my chocolate 'Moca' rather than 'Mocha' because I believe it's eye-catching and the fact that it is a made up product rather than the known flavour is the main reason why I chose to write it in that way. Also, I changed the arrangement of the chocolate, images of coffee beans and slogan simply because I think it looks better.
