If you need to finish your Magazine Cover you may do that first…..
Assignment:
You need to design a Music Soundtrack cover using Adobe Photoshop for the Movie Poster you created earlier. Your Music cover can be based off of an existing Music cover but design your own photos, title and song titles or create your own music cover totally from scratch. . Your Music-soundtrack cover must be school appropriate.
Save this document as: Soundtrack Cover in the MAGAZINE Folder.
Your document must have:
- Document size 8.5 x 11
- A background
- A cover photo (may have smaller photos to show other artists included on the soundtrack)
- A Title
- All songs on the Movie Soundtrack
- Issue date
- Issue price
- Barcode
Your Music-soundtrack cover will be graded on if you included the above elements and how you carry out Unity in your soundtrack cover.
_____Unity can be achieved by carrying out a common theme in the type styles, photos, story titles and descriptions. Do all the parts work together?
_____Think about readability, can you read the type against the background? Is the type style readable? Are the sentences too long? Are the titles descriptive enough to make you know what the article is about? Does the type size signify the importance?
_____Does the photo or photos support the theme? Does the photo catch your eye? Is it too busy or too simple?
_____How is your effort and craftsmanship? You will need to be selecting, cutting, pasting and cropping. Does your cover look professionally neat?
_____Layout, how did you arrange all the elements? Is the type all lined up flush left, right, centered? Is the type over the picture or a background? Did you add a banner with the issue date, web site, and cost? Does the layout make it easy to read or confusing?
