Front cover:
I found the front cover quite hard to make look professional. Because of the background image, the colours wouldn’t fit so I had to do a lot of photo editing which didn’t make it look as good but it meant that the text was easier to read. I chose the colour scheme because that is what my target audience thought would be most appropriate. I thought I’d use quite a clear and smart image so it looked school related and caught your eye. I included a range of information on the front cover and gave varied topics so it applies to more people and so more people would be willing to purchase it. I tried to make the layout as clear as possible and so it didn't interfere with the image too much or take away the focus from the model because from my research I found that the image is the thing that attracts a person to a magazine most therefore this was the most important thing for me to do. I have learnt from this task that next time I need to choose perhaps darker colours, or more vibrant so it’s more eye catching and so that it’s easier to apply text on to it.
Contents page:
In the box on the left: Here I will include a general list of what is included in the magazine with each page and topic so it is clear. Perhaps even have a small bit of information about some of them.
In the top box on the right: I will divide these three boxes in half and have an image on one side and a quote/bit of information about the article featured. For example on my front cover it says interview with Miss Neads so I will have a picture of her on the left and then a quote on the right.
For my contents page I thought I keep the theme I have on the front on green and blue. I will also keep the same typeface to give the feeling of consistency. By diving the page into sections it will make it more appealing and less formal. Also by having it relatively detailed it make it easier to find exactly what you're looking for and easy to find.
