The document describes the design choices made for a magazine cover. The cover features a large image of a male model with his hands held up and looking above, as well as a smaller image of the model with his hood on to represent his belonging to a grime magazine and convey masculinity. Different colored borders were used as the background to make it bright and visually interesting. The title "Nking" was chosen to imply the model is highly significant and worth reading about. Short but attention-grabbing text was included about the model to motivate readers without overloading the page.

1. I decided to use a large long length image of my male model with his hands
held in a certain posture alongside looking above. I have also added a small
image of the male looking to the left with his hood on his head. This
represents that he belongs to a grime magazine and shows his masculinity
and toughness. I used a white drop shadow on both pictures to add emphasis.
I believe the posture of my model has helped me to attract my target
audience.
I have used
different coloured
border lines as my
background such as
white, orange, and
a red which can
easily be
recognised as a
faded orange. I
believe the
background is
highly significant in
terms of colour and
organisation simply
because after
viewing the tile and
image, I believe
that’s the next
important thing
that attracts the
audience. Therefore
it was important to
make it bright, and
slightly complex in
terms of design.
I have used “N” for all three of my magazine pages. With this one I decided to add a background to the “N” in order to
make it look attractive. I had to think carefully about the title, because that can either instantly attract the audience or
can be the complete opposite. However I believe by adding “king” indicated to the audience that it’s a must read seeing
as the male seems highly significant is he’s been labelled as “king”.
I’ve added a fairly short but interesting text regarding my
model on the right hand side of the page. I didn’t want to
overload the page with a lot of text because that could
possibly put off my audience. I believe by using a short but
attention-grabbing, remarkable text would motivate my
audience alongside immediately attract them to read on.
