The document describes experiments the author conducted in creating covers and double page spreads for a magazine. For the front cover, the author tested placing a "Top 10" box on the left with player heads above, and used a magazine font for the title. For the double page spread, the author used BBC articles on Champions League matches and included multiple images from the games. In the reflection, the author notes elements they may include in the final product, such as the title style, "Top 10" box, stroke on letters, and ratio of text to images on the double page spread. Spacing of text and alignment of images could be improved.

1. Experiments

2. Front Cover Process
• I actually started this with
the Top 10 bit on the left, I
had that idea and stuck it on
a black background.
• Then I did the title, fairly
self explanatory, but I used
a similar font to lots of
other magazines (by
googling "what fonts are
used on magazines")
• The right article is about
how everyone cares so
much about Mourinho
throwing some water. Was
all over the news at the
time I produced this cover.

3. Reflection
• What elements of your experiments will you
include in your final product?
– I think the way I have done my title looks alright and the information "box" on
the left, with the player's heads above is something which I would like to try
feature in my final product.
– The stroke I gave the letters makes them stand out, I think I'll use that in my
final magazine because it helps emphasise the letters
– I would have covered the title with a part of the image, but having done that I
didn't think it looked too great so I removed it. This is something I wish to try
in my final production

4. Double Page Process
• Having chose the theme of
football, I thought the recent
champions league matches were a
fair enough topic to make the
article about. I used the BBC to get
the content of these articles
because I didn't want to have to
write paragraphs about games I
didn't watch and have limited
knowledge on. Credit for all the
words goes to the BBC.
• For the images I wanted to include
images from all the games,
fortunately all the teams play
twice so I have a fairly decent
selection of images to pick from.

5. Reflection
• What elements of your experiments will you
include in your final product?
– Not having all the images straight I think looks decent and could be something
I use in my final production
– I think I have a fairly decent ratio of text to images, but I think the text could
be spaced better and the images more in line, these are ideas I will take into
account in my final production
– I think having the text in white on a coloured background looks pretty decent
and I could use a similar technique in my final product
