this began as a doodle in the back of my note book, something that i had been playing with as a graffiti doodle when i was bored, but as i developed the style and colours etc, it began to look more professional and individual.
As the letters developed and i made my own style, the word Gigz became my magazine name, which expressed what the magazine was completely about, like kerrang to its own readers does, the title named after the alleged sound that a guitar makes.
I scanned the resulting image of the title onto the mac computer, after bordering it with black pen to make the words stand out and edited the image on photoshop to enhance the image, adding red and black.
I used photo shop to darken the background of the title, and the thick edges of the text. I 'hollowed' the white gaps to give the title a stamp like look, like the title has been embossed onto the page over the cover image. I had fun developing my title because it gave me more of a better understanding of photoshop, and made me more familiar with the programme.
