After being shown a good website with some nice tutorials in photoshop (http://www.tutorial9.net/photoshop/colorful-glowing-text-effect/)

i had a go at one of the tutorials, and this is what i made: 

Then i tried playing with some photoshop effects, here i used the smudge tool, which ws very effective, and made the reflection look like it was being reflected in rippling water. 
And here i added another gradient layer, which looks kind of like there is a big light coming from behind. 

Above are some contact sheets of the photos i took of Nicole Wall. 

Above are some contact sheets, of the photos i took of Poppy Larbalestier, at Havre Des Pas. I am hoping to use some of these photos in my final magazine. 

This is an example of the grid system i am going to use:

These are my layouts for my front page, my contents page, and my double page spread. i have put a couple of good examples, as well as the one's that i am going to use. I have also drawn out some examples of grid systems. All magazines use grid systems, and they use the same grid system throughout the magazine, apart from the contents page. I have drawn out 2 grid systems for my contents page and my double page spread. I do not have one for the front page, as a magazine front cover has so many of its own conventions to adhere to, that it is not necessary for one.
