The Ticket

The next step was including a ticket onto my cover. I did this by taking a picture of an old cinema ticket I had in my house and transferring the image onto the computer. Once I had done this, I minipulated the image on Adobe Photoshop CS3 and removed the unnecessary content, such as the film informatin and cinema details. At this stage, I also introduced a subheading. Although I had not yet come up with an aduequate catch, I decided to go forward with experimenting with it's font and colour. Eventually I came to the decision of using a blue arial font for simplicity purposes.

This is the original ticket that I used on the front cover of my music magazine. I chose this one above others as it was slightly creased, which gave a more naturalistic effect, thus making it look more like a real concert ticket. Also, the bright orange colour co-ordinates with the background image I have on my cover. This adds to the eye-catching and contrasting scheme that I was initially aiming for.
