2. After creating my plan I began to prepare
to make my front cover. When I had
finished with my Photoshoot stage, I
realized that I had slightly gone against my
Photoshoot plan (see blog) in order to get
a better image. For example in one of my
ideas on my Photoshoot plan table, I was
going to have the model sitting on a bean
bag with a book covering half her face/
However I found this pose more fun and
engaging with the target audience of
school children as it relates to the school
life theme with the uniform and the geek
glasses gives a sense of academics.
I also slightly changed some aspects of my
front cover in order to achieve a better
result.
3. I did not include
the official school
logo but instead
added a stain glass
version of it at the
bottom of my
front cover
instead.
I chose not to
include the
barcode or the
price as it
wouldn’t be
appropriate for a
school based
magazine which is
free.
Things I changed
Instead of having
the Masthead and
the Main Image
separate I made my
main image overlap
the Masthead to
make it look more
like fashion
magazines I
researched such as
Vogue.
There was only one
cover line here. I was
expecting to include
more however I do
not think that it
would have went
well as it would have
overlapped and
clashed with the
main image
4. I would change this
text from the colour
purple to yellow so
that I have a clear
colour scheme
consisting of primary
colours
I would try to make the
book stand out a bit
more from the
background. Perhaps by
using a more brightly
coloured page
I would make the
dissolved outline
less blurred and
more solid
I would change the
text style to be more
consistent with the
rest
Improvements I would make
I should have included
a cover line here t fill
out the space more as
it seems empty in
comparison to the rest
of the cover.
The seat should be
more identifiable. Also
the models legs are
clashing too much
with the writing so
should have been
lightened or the image
should have been
changed
The school logo should
be more in the centre
as it is apart of the
magazine
identification and
House style.
