Compilation and Editing

When everyone had finished their individual pages we collated them into one photoshop document (separated into the relevant pages), and then separated the colour and black layers. It took longer than anticipated and so unfortunately we were unable to print on the initial day. However, we had planned for this eventuality so we made ourselves a week early deadline so that if there was a problem there would be a chance to print the next week.




After this document was made, we printed a master copy of each individual sheet (not double-sided) ready to use in the risograph machine next week. We also took this opportunity to check for obvious mistakes in spelling.


We have decided to print the cover in red/black and the contents in blue/black and to print onto newsprint which will need to be cut in preparation for printing next week. We are very prepared now!

About the Authors page

It was my job to write an introductory page to the newspaper that would be the first page a reader would see (after the cover) - as with many modern magazines, I wanted to include some information about us, the creators, so we could connect more to the audience.

Firstly I asked for a short introduction and maybe a humorous fact or statement from each of the creators. I then made a simple icon to show each person and added the speech bubble (which ties in with our theme of comics). Finally I included a short explanation of the magazine's contents so that the reader would understand what kind of publication they had.

This is what my finished page will be like (perhaps a different colour as we haven't decided yet), I wanted to keep the layout simple yet fun and appealing:
