Spray Final

Spray before Photoshop

Three main sprays before I scanned them in to photoshop and compiled them. I did other sprays, they are in my work-in-progress post. These 3 took the most precise cutting and I am pleased with the result.

Monochrome

This is a monochrome design I decided to do. It is interesting to see what this work looks like made from one slice of colour from the colour wheel. Green seemed like a suiting colour to use, and they layer well unlike a colour such as yellow which may look too bright.

Final

Finished product with title. I sprayed a political figure so I gave the magazine a political masthead title with colours matching the red in the back. The white, blue, red behind his head resembles the Russian flag.

Brushes

I used a series of brushes to create my masthead which features at the top of my magazine cover.

Brushes are a very useful tool for creating a number of different effects that are hard to achieve using physical methods.

No Staples Book Final

Final Design

Above is what my double page spread ended up looking up like. I took a picture before it was folded because it's easier to see the actual design that way.

So above is the inside of the no staples book. I ended up with an extra copy since I forgot to remove the template, but it became useful for this post.

 Here is my double page spread once folded and cut. There is a special way of folding your final design in order to make it into a book. I also cut away the white border with a guillotine and put a cut down the centre of the spread, this is essential to make the book, otherwise it won't fold properly.

There is a proper way to fold it. Half way though it looks somewhat like this, and then you fold it up and it then consists of a front cover, 2 double page spreads and a back cover and no staples.

Here is the final folded design. I like it, but I would improve it if I did it again by making my background a lighter shade of green or by adding more light greens, since this version looks slightly too dark.

At last, a some-what professional picture of my final design:
