PHOTOSHOP PROGRESS 14/2/2014

This week, I created my double page spread.

To begin with, I wanted to choose a sort of theme for the article, so I chose science, space, and what Ellen studied in school/college. This linked to the masthead 'I wanted to be an astronaut...' and how this is a pull quote from the article, similarly, I used a pun/joke as the tagline, 'The singer who wanted to be on top of the world - now she's on top of the charts!' I kept the colour scheme quite simple, with dark red (to match her dress), black and white. After writing the article, it became apparent that there was large white space that I wanted to get rid of, so I placed a heart there, by using 'custom shapes'. I also added an outer glow, to link it to the outer glow on 'astronaut. To finish off, I added a page number and a box at the bottom to give information about the album and release date. I plan on starting my front cover as soon as possible.
