2. My Ideas Title I thought of names link to students, college, and university. I shorted university, to uni, then I thought of Uni-verse, which sounds like universe and is a metaphor for the size of life at university. Possible Fonts from dafont.com, for the masthead: Sui generis Old sans black
5. Pictures This is the photo for my main article in the magazine, it’s about possible future prospects. I think it looks suitable for the subject, of students looking to the future.
6. What I did I used my man image as the background, and put on my main shapes for the cover line boxes. I made my masthead shape as Photoshop didn’t have one I want. I made it by using the rectangle tool, and the distorted and skew tool, and cut it out using the magnetic lasso tool.
7. I put all my cover lines and mast head on. I decided to use sui generis for my title. Because everything looks flat, I added stroke to some of the cover line boxes and some of the lines, to make them stand out. I Bevel and Emboss the mast head to make it look more 3D. I also used Drop shadow, and outer glow to make it look 3D as well, I kept the spread small, and change the size, so it will spread out a small bit, so there is a faint shadow or faint outline of white.
8. Contents page I used the same techniques using Bevel and emboss, stroke, outer glow, and drop shadow. I also tried to use the same colours, to keep the style from the front cover.
9. I thought it look plain and empty with no photos, so I used some that I took. I used stroke and outer glow to make them stick out. One of the photos is link to an article, and another is to advertise a different page. I also made the font size smaller, as it would have been too big for a A4 size.
10. I used bright colours to try to catch the eye, as well as having the front cover on the left. I think students who are new to university, or want few tips would read this magazine, as a guide. I tried to use colours that are used in the photo. In the front cover, the model is wearing blues and greens, so I used those colours, but I also used yellow to make the masthead stand out against the rest of the magazine cover. I kept to my original sketches, I think I should of experimented more with possible ideas, but I am happy with what I have done.
