 Task 1 Task 2 In the first task I used the Type tool to add text to the page. To format the text used the side panel. The second task completed was adding a photo I used to the rectangle tool converted it to a content box then drug the photo into the box from my files. These tasks will help me in the pages and cover of my magazine. I learned how to add in a masthead and other titles. 

To further aid in the development of my magazine I did a short survey to see what my target audience is thinking and would like to see. The results were very illuminating, I learned a lot and they even made me reconsider some parts of my magazine. Question 1 Question 2 Question 3 Question 4 The first question was "Do you fall in the age range of 16-23?", the question was to confirm that everyone fell under my target audience. The second question was "Which masthead is the most appealing", the winner, Moody Mag was my favorite option so I'm glad it won. I was actually surprised to see that the 3rd option "Oh Girlll" didn't get more votes I thought that on was pretty creative. For the third question I asked about their preferred color scheme. This option made me reconsider my color scheme the second option, pink, purple, blue and yellow, was my first choice but the 3rd pink, black, and white, won.

Original Photo Edited Photo Firstly, I corrected some blemishes that were in the picture. If you look at the background the many cracks that were on the wall have been removed using the spot healing brush. In my final magazine I could use this tool hide blemishes within the skin of models or correct something in the backgrounds. The next task I completed was adding a vibrance layer to the previous dull image. By adding this layer and adjusting the vibrance and saturation I brought life to the photo. If I don't get the perfect lighting in my final magazine photos I could this task to edit colors within the photos. The last task was adding text, in the lower right-hand corner I added my name with the horizontal text tool and was able to edit the details using the fx at the bottom of the layer panel. This task will help me create the masthead on my cover and other titles throughout the magazine. All in all, these tasks will, once again, help my final magazine look and feel more profes...

   Mock-up 1  Mock- up 2     To reiterate, the genre of my magazine is pop culture/lifestyle, I chose this genre because it is the most interesting and it can be taken down many paths since the genre is quite broad. My target audience is black women of all sexualities ranging from ages 16-23. In my magazine, I will discuss the lives of black women in America in a way that is fun and light-hearted but will also bring light to the many issues they may face. I will also include advice, the latest trends, and black celebrity news within the pages. I want my magazine to feel like a conversation between a group of friends, it will be relatable and fun.
