I used a variety of tools on in design  in order to create unique effects on my pages to make my magazine stand out.

I used the circle text box frequently so that I could create vinyl themed bullet points to add to my narrative of 1950’s Rock and Roll.

The fx tool allowed me to create modern effects and add them to my magazine which was important because I needed to convey an element of pop to modernise my theme. I also used tools such as the gradient tool to add colour  to the my images of my models to help portray my genre. I chose colours and effects after studying the demographics of my target audience in order to grab their attention.
