Final DPS

As you can see i have added some colour onto the editorial style just to make it look a bit brighter. I have then created 3 circle shapes and added font into them for my title of advice. I have then imported my text and created lines to separate them. I then added a pink rectangle for my agony lines and added the text into it.

On the whole i am very pleased with how my project has turned out as when i first started making my project i had no confidence in my InDesign skills. I am pleased with how my story looks as i like the colours black and coral, i think they give off a good contrast. I am also very pleased with my advice page as i feel like it looks professional. I am very pleased with how the title has turned out, the colours and the shapes look good together. I have gained a lot skills doing my double paged spread.

DPS ...

As you can see on here i have changed the picture as i felt that the other one was far too dark. I have put my article in and changed the font of the title as i feel it looks a lot better as it is typewriting style which is computerised, and identity theft is all about computers. I have also imported in a shape and added text to it which i will then put my advice column and top tips on.

DPS so far...

As you can see this is my DPS so far. I have imported in an image that i took and that is the background of the page. I have added the two titles editorial tips and real life story. I have also put in the article. I think the picture is far too dark so i am going to see if there is anything i can do to change it.

My Finished Front Cover

As you can see my product has came a long way. I put a barcode on from a picture i got from google, i downloaded shapes and put them on and i also took and edited the main image using the heal brush tool to blur out the features on this face, and autocolour and brightness and contrast to make him the correct colour.

I then divised a colour scheme sticking to black and white, and then dark pinks, burgundy and purples. I felt this would be good as my target audience are 75% female. I am very pleased with my final project as i feel like i have gained a huge amout of skills which i have out into this.

Making my front cover..

As you can see from the other image on my blog i decided to take away the red writing as i didn't think it was a good colour choice. Instead i changed it to a more pinky red as it fits in with my target audience being 75% women. I have also downloaded a shape and put it into my document as the magazine i was copying. I also slightly changed my fonts as i feel it looks better.  

Poses Photos

On this photo adam is posing to create the effect that his identity has been stolen so he is holding is hands on his head in worry and shock. I further edited the image to blur out his face so you couldn't see his features making it look like he has had his face (identity) taken away.

Front Cover so far..

This is my front cover so far. As you can see I have imported my picture that i took onto the blank page in photoshop, which i have measured and sized up according to the size and style of the magazine i am looking at, Cosmopolitan. I have edited my picture to make the background a pure white, as before it was a mucky white from the back drop i used. I then highlighted the background again to give it the crisp white colour. I then blurred out the features in his face using the heal brush tool, pressing alt as i go to select the correct complexion of his face. I have then started adding some font such as the mast head and sell lines including question, command and reward headlines. 

I am fairly pleased with my product so far as it is at the very early stages and i already think that my photo the way i have blurred his face looks good and is a nice effect. I also like the style of the writing on my mast head, as it looks quite burnt out and slashed, which i think fits in quite nicely with identity theft. So far i am quite pleased, however there is a lot more to do.
