Taking photos for the Music Magazine

I experimented with different photos for my 3 Music Magazine pages i took different photos in different locations changing things such as lighting and filters untill i found photos i was happy with i then edited these photos so they looked more professional and more appealing above are some examples of photos i took eventually using some of these in my final music magazine.

Looking at Fonts and Styles

I looked at many different types of fonts to go on the front of my music magazine i wanted to have a font i could have right through my magazine to keep consistancy throughout my work. i mainly used a website called DaFont.com above are four examples that i looked at. I later use the last Font but add colour instead of where it is black.
