The document compares the front covers of two magazines the author created. For the first magazine, the font was not appealing, there was too much text, and the colors were boring. For the second magazine, the author used a font site to choose a better font, improved the layout and color scheme in Photoshop, used headlines to encourage reading inside, and only included one pull quote to generate interest. The second magazine masthead also had an improved font and color that fit the genre better and was placed behind the main image.

1. These are the front cover for both my magazines. The one on
the left was the one I made first as you can tell the font is not
as appealing and doesn’t fit proportionally on the page and it
also has too much writing on it.
On the final cover I
used a site called
font space that has
thousands of fonts
that I could use for
my magazine.
I also made it lot more appealing to look at
making the colour scheme better and the layout
has improved using Photoshop.
Also the final magazine headlines and cover
stories encourage people to read inside it’s
not to over whelming.
I wanted it to represent the
genre I was doing my
magazine on so I did, with
the colours on my first
magazine they were a bit
boring and samey so I
wanted to make the colours
work with each other and
make a good contrast
between them.
I only added one pull quote
to the front cover as well so
it got people wanting to read
inside.
With the first magazine I made the masthead just look like plain
text that was written down, so when I made the music
magazine I improved the font and changed the colour to suit
my genre I also put the masthead behind my main image as
well to make the composition of the image look like it was
popping out.
