The document discusses designing an album cover. The designer wanted to make the image brighter to give it a summery feel. They chose the album name "Reminisce" because it means enjoyable recollection of the past, fitting the theme of thinking back to childhood. Different fonts and layouts were tested to find the most effective design. Feedback was received that the top font needed to be brighter, so blue and red options were tried and blue was selected as it did not clash with the background as much as red.
Simran conducted an experiment designing a magazine cover featuring Ed Sheeran. She used tools like the burn tool and adjusting brightness, contrast and saturation to darken the background and make Ed stand out. She included the price, recent music news headlines, and top artists to engage readers. Based on a survey, she priced the magazine at £2.50 which she felt was reasonable. She believes people can relate to Ed Sheeran's songs about relationships and drinking, so he makes a good cover subject. For her own magazine, she will target females using different colors like pinks, blues and purples.

For his magazine contents page, the author tried different font sizes and colors for the title before choosing to crop it and save it as a JPEG to make it more vibrant. He selected Times New Roman as the font for the feature articles as it is clear and easy to read. He used a blue and black color scheme to contrast with the contents page and create an effect. After initially choosing black, he realized most music magazine contents pages do not use black backgrounds, so opted for white instead. He changed some fonts to black and white for better contrast and a more "indie" look. Finally, he changed the headline color to black for a neater, more stylish appearance.
This document summarizes the process of designing a double page spread (DPS) for a magazine article about a band. The designer chose green and black colors to match the tone of the exciting concert photo and used guidelines in Quark to help layout the text. Feedback suggested reducing the number of colors, so the designer switched to yellow, red, and white to tie it to the cover and contents page. The final DPS replaced a blurry band photo with a collage of cards and photos to fit the article.

Audience feedback response
1.
2. The black background doesn’t convey comedy
on the blog as it should. Our target audience
feedback told me I should use brighter more
vibrant colours to show humour and joy.
3. From the information I gathered form the
feedback I was told that my colour scheme
reflected more romance and horror, with the
contrast of the pink and black.
Therefore, I decided to change
4. The font before was Arial. I made
changes to the font on the blog to a
more relaxed handwriting type, as it
looks less formal.
I also decided to change my background as it
was too strict and didn’t really match my
theme. I went from an abstract old filming
camera and photograph to a more comical
photograph of a laughing baby. I chose this as I
thought the photo itself is very funny and also
the colours convey the theme of comedy, the
lighting is bright and the background colours
are white which makes the baby’s face stand
out.
5. Taking target audience advise, I
changed my colour scheme as
the colours were too
contrasting. I decided to change
the dark pink font to a light
orange as orange is bright and
creates a happier tone for the
viewer.
Furthermore, I changed the
black layout as it was too dark
for a comedic page. I changed to
a lighter transparent to fit with
the background image of the
baby again making the page
more joyous and less heavy.
