Preliminary Task Front Cover + Contents

 

This is my preliminary task, I have made a front cover and contents page for a college magazine on publisher. I followed mt flat plan to create it, and photos I took before hand. Here they are.

 

 

 

In my preliminary task I feel that there are several things in it which could be improved. Things like; the colours of the fonts (i should make them the same and following the colour scheme. The size of the images need changing too. I have made them too stretched and I will sort this in my real task.
I also want to change the background colour as a light lilac does not look proffesional. although bland, a white background will look a lot more proffesional. I want to also changed how the page number looks, as it doesnt look proffesional at all.

 



Preliminary Flat Plan

The images above are flat plan of a contents page and front cover of my magazine. I have designed these as I have, because i think that the features I want to make stand out, will stand out the most due to where I place them, and how large they are etc. The main image is what will grab the readers attention first, then the mast head, and then the other heads and essential info etc.

Inspirational Texts

I have been doing some research about what type of music I want to feature in my magazine, I used YouTube to find some songs and videos that I might want to use in in my magazine. but generally, I have picked to stick around the "Indie" genre.

















I have been thinking about what type of music i am wanting to put into my magazine, I have kept the idea of an idea genre, and then I created a mood board showing all the type of bands I want in my magazine.

This is my Magazine Cover Deconstruction. I did this as a part of my research towards making a magazine cover myself. I produced it on power point, and embedded I it into SlideShare.
