On this image above I am editing and lengthening my models eyebrows. I done this using the colour match tool to get the correct colour then then brush tool with a softened brush to create a softer less blunt finish.
I have also started on my text for my double page spread.
This is my work for my article so far. I decided to base my article on a new upcoming star who made her fame from youtube videos.
New star, Zara Fox shines to the top.
How Zara Fox 16, made fame from her YouTube videos
What started off as a young girl singing alone in her bedroom soon became child hood stardom. After several failed attempts by various prestigious record labels including BMG Music, Decca Records and EmI wanting to take on Zara she finally decided to sign on the dotted line and seal the deal with DEF JAM who also produce the music of the world selling, Rihanna.
Zara's family first discovered her talent at the age of 7 when she performed the leading role in the school musical, Annie. Amazed at how talented little Zara was after hearing her sing for the very first time, her parents recorded and uploaded the performance to YouTube. Surprisingly after only a week on the web, the footage had over half a million views and had gone viral around the world. One person in particular who was blown away by the young star was singing sensation Ellie Goulding and has been following her ever since.On Zara's 16th birthday, Ellie called her unexpectedly and told her it would be more than a pleasure if she would work with her.
" At first i thought it was one of my friends playing a joke" explains Zara, " but when i found out It was actually her I threw my phone across the room and started crying to my mam. I was so happy and couldn't wait to start working with her. I felt like i was dreaming."
But it wasn't just Zara who felt like she was in a dream. Charles 47, Zara's Dad and Carol 43, Zara's Mam both stated they couldn't believe there daughters success.
" We are the proudest parents in the world, we knew she could do it" stated the parents, " our little girl a world wide superstar, feels surreal to us!"
Ellie Goulding, 26 claims she has never been so happy to find a youngster with such talent. Ellie plans on releasing a new single with Zara this November, which she aims to call ‘Endless Dreams.’ Ellie told VIVA she chose this name to show all the other young musicians out there to never give up and follow their dreams just like Zara did.
Zara also told us that her life has changed to quickly. “ Ive read about things like this happening to people in magazines before, but never even imagined it could happen to someone like me. I had only dreamed about it.” Zara told VIVA to allows follow your dreams cause one day they will come true.
But one thing Zara said from the beginning of this journey was that she would never let the fame change the person she was inside. She didn’t want to let it get to her head. She promised her friends and family she will still always find time for them, because without their support none of this could ever of happened.

This above is my work for my article so far. I have been given postive feedback from my teacher and she has told me what i can change to improve. For example before feedback my headline was, ' New star Zara Fox tops the charts'. My teacher said it would be more catchy to change it to 'shines straight to the top' as its a pun and sounds more catchy.
Here is the before and after picture after I have done a little bit of editing on my model.
Underneath is my product so far. In this image I have edited my photo removing all skin marks and removing the back groud but also edited the colour of her clothing and removed the finger marks from the guitar. I created my masthead using da font and edited it in photoshop to give the look I have now. I have decided to keep my backgroud white as it makes it easier for everything else to stand out. I used the background colour of the masthead to link in with the models guitar linking the colour scheme. The black banner along the botttom is for a pull quote of which i havnt decided yet.
The images above are all of me working on my front cover. I have gradually being adding selllines and advertisements to make it look like a professional magazine. I havnt of yet finished my front cover.
This is my contents page so far. The images above are my gradual stages of my contents page.
working on my double page spread.
This is my up to date double page spread article. I decided to give my magazine a change and add the black background to vary my magazine slightly. I added a pull quote on my image where there was a lot of spare space.
This is my up to date contents page.
My front cover still needs finishing as there is a lot of spare space that needs filling. I added the bright colour pink to contrast with the dark colours on the cover. I also feel it brings life to my front cover.
MY FINAL PRODUCT.
This is my front cover of which i sent to the examiner. I rearranged some of the words and pictures before sending it. I was happy with my product and felt confident sending it away.
This was my contents page which i sent to the examiner. Once again i felt happy with my product and felt confident about my piece.
This was my DPS of which i sent to the examiner.
