3. Colours:
I have chosen a canvas of blank colours, featuring random ‘pops’ of colour.
This will allow the colour scheme to remain effective without being too much
‘in your face’. I feel that if I added too much colour then the standard of the
magazine would be greatly lowered as it would appear to look unprofessional.
I have also opted for a mixture of typically male and female orientated colours
so as to convert it into a unisex publication. This would allow ‘Vinyl’ to appeal
to many different audiences.
4. Drop Caps:
A drop cap is the first letter of a paragraph that is enlarged to ‘drop’ down
two or more lines, as in the next paragraph. Drop caps are often seen at the
beginning of novels, where the top of the first letter of the first word lines up
with the top of the first sentence and drops down to the four or fifth
sentence.
This is an example of a ‘drop cap’. I think that I will use
this feature in my interview because not only does it
draw attention to the start of the interview and make it
appear to have a powerful feeling, but it also results in the
interview feeling a bit like a novel which would send out a
more personal vibe to the readers and allow them to feel
more involved in the publication.
5. Sizes: For example
The typical size of my title would be
so that it is stretched out across the
whole of the top of the page,
hopefully making an impact and
allowing potential readers to
instantly know what magazine they
are viewing.
As for the other elements of text on
my cover, they will be varied in size
according to how much attention I
would ideally like to be payed to
Finally, for my text composing the them.
article and interview, I would like it
to be large enough so that anyone
could read it but not too large as I
want the images that compliment the
article to be a shared focal point with
the text.
