2. 1
As I was still unsure about
which picture to use, Initially I
decided to use a black
background so it would look
slightly more realistic as I
added the text on.
I added the masthead
first, as I was completely
sure this was the text I
wanted to use. And by
doing this I would be able
to ensure the rest of the
fonts and colours I use
would fit the theme
correctly.
3. 2Following my mock up
design, I added the key
features I believed were
going to be important
aspects of the magazine.
I added the yellow star as people
automatically associate it with a
prize. Which was what was on offer.
By making it bright, I wanted it to
attract the eye, so they would see
the competition and take an interest
in the magazine.
I thought by placing
the slogan at the
bottom it would
make it different to
other magazines,
and would make the
layout more
interesting.
As I hadn’t already decided on the
text that was going to be used, I
added the boxes as a guide to help
me visually when I was adding
things such as pictures.
4. 3.After being informed that the
slogan would look better, and
more professional closer to
the masthead, I decided to
move it back.
I changed the colour and
shape of the star, as I
thought it may have been
too bright, and made the
page look less
professional.
I included a list of artists
name so consumers know
who else will be included
inside. By doing this it also
means it can be done in a
short, simple form, and
wont over clutter the page.
By adding the flash
word ‘EXCLUSIVE’
it will automatically
capture the eye
and entice people.
I chose this pull quote,
as I wanted it to
portray that the artist
is successful, and has
determination.
5. 4.
I moved the slogan to
under the masthead, as
it looked better, and
went together better
that way round.
I had now chosen the
picture I wanted to use
for the front cover,
and settled on one
with a black
background, so it gave
me more options to
add pictures, colour
and font.
It was suggested
I changed the
background of
the writing to a
circle, to make it
look more
professional
through
simplicity.
I was also informed
that it was better to
keep pull quotes
short, so they look
neater on the page,
and so decided to
change from the
one I had originally
picked.
I had also
included the
artists name and
got rid of the
flash
‘EXCLUSIVE’
6. 5I then made
changes to the
font colours,
ensuring I kept to
the black, red,
blue and white
theme.
A barcode was
added, to make it
look more realistic
and professional.
I also included a
website, to
enhance how
realistic it looks,
and interest the
reader into going
on to it.
I added the plus sign, so
the audience know what
else the magazine is
going to cover, without
having to open it.
