The document outlines the process for designing the front page of a magazine. It describes positioning the main image in the center and leaving space for writing and the masthead. The background uses black as the base color with three red and peach strokes behind the image. A punk font is used for the masthead and strap line to match the style of an existing magazine. The color scheme focuses on red, yellow, white and black. The masthead design was meant to look like spray painted letters to convey a rock theme in line with the slogan "Loud and Proud!"

1. Front Page
Process
By Matheus Silva

2. Finished Draft
Processes:
• Basic layout
• Background
• Fonts
• Colour scheme
• Masthead

3. Layout
First, I positioned my main
image, which enabled me to
center my focus around it which
expresses it greatly when its
finished.Left space so I
could add
writing.
Left space so I
could add
writing.
Space at the top for the
masthead and the
magazine header.

4. Background
• I used black as a base because it will make any
colour look good when placed over it.
• I then added three strokes behind the main image,
this simply just looks good since the two shades of
red work well with the stroke of peach to make the
background more visually attractive.

5. Font
The font I used for my
Masthead was ‘Punk
Kid’. This was because
it suited the magazine
and looked good.
The strap line and header
bar are both using the
‘Skratch Punk’ font, which
mimics the masthead for
kerrang magazine.

6. Colour scheme
My colour scheme was literally red and
yellow with the base colours of white
and black which just bring the
magazine together and give it an
attractive edge
I kept my cover lines within my colour
scheme boundaries simply to make the
magazine stand out better as a whole.
However, I can still use any colour within
the boundaries for some diversity.

7. Masthead
I just simply
went for my
original idea of
amplified with a
sort of sprayed
paint like font.
I went for my original selling line as
‘Loud and Proud!’ which works well
with the masthead to convey a rock
theme.
This idea was originally chosen because
rock music is usually thought of as loud.
Which is why I came up with amplified
since I can picture huge cabinets of
speakers.
