2. INTRODUCTION
I am going to explain the similarities and
difference's between the mock up design I created
in Task 5 compared to the Final Design that I made
in Task 7.
 Task 5 was created on paper and was a basic draft of what
I hoped that the magazine would look like.
 Task 7 was created on Adobe Photoshop and was the final
product of my magazine and the finished product.

primary colours.
• The style of font is very similar.
• The bold black stroke on the outside of the letters.

4. COVER & CONTENTS PAGE BACKGROUND
On the mock up design, the background is
white and is very plain. On the final design
the background is a green gradient which
looks very professional.
I chose to make the final design have this
background because I feel that it looks
more professional with the background
and much more appealing to the target
audience.

5. LAYOUT
Similarities Differences
• The contents page layout consists of 2 images • I have made the ‘Mountaineering’ article’s
and 2 copies of text. copy next to the images rather than under the
• The layout is structured in a grid like pattern. image like the mock up suggests
• The colours are all orange in the final product
compared to the mock up which has green
and pink outlines.

6. EDITORIAL
On the mock up, I positioned the
editorial at the bottom of the
page next to the Index. On the
Final product I positioned it at
the top of the contents page
next to the title.
I done this because I felt it
looked better and also had
space at the top that needed
filling to look good.

7. LEFT THIRD
On the mock up, the left third has one image
with a lure and a caption. You can see part of
the advertorial and the masthead. It is very
simple and plain and looks quite unprofessional.
On the final product, the left third has a high
quality image with a caption and lure with more
lures containing other articles on it. The
headline is visible from the left third as well as
the advertorial and part of the masthead. It
looks more professional as it is filled like a real
life magazine is.

8. MAIN IMAGE
The main image is
very similar between
both pages. They’re
both cropped at the
bottom with the
background removed.
However, on the final
product the image is
above the masthead
whereas on the mock
up the masthead is
layered over the main
image.

9. HEADLINE AND BYLINE
The headline and byline on the
mock up are sans serif text and
the byline was pink graphics.
The final product is similar and
has sans serif font. The byline is
also sans serif and has graphics
to make it more visually
appealing. The final products
byline graphics is blue instead
of pink as it stands out more
and looks more visually
appealing to the audience.

10. ADVERTORIAL
They’re very similar with a
banner. I chose to keep
them the same as I felt
the design created in the
mock up was very
effective and looked
visually appealing to the
audience.
