The document discusses the design elements used in a magazine mock-up, including a cover line to encourage readers, a masthead in a large font, a plug to describe article types, and a puff to promote the magazine. Suggestions are made to improve cutting out photos and using consistent colors. The tone is described as serious based on the feature photo but casual based on article topics. Tools used include the magnetic lasso and text tools.

2. The cover line I used
gives more information
about the major article
It also makes the reader want
to know about what's inside
the magazine, perhaps
encouraging them to buy it
and read it

3. The uniform links
directly to the target
audience of school
students
The feature article
photograph link to the
main story in the
magazine. And also
slightly overlaps the
masthead to show the
magazine is popular
and well known
I think I could have cut
out my picture better as
there are patches that I
have missed

4. My masthead stretches
across almost the whole
length of my magazine
and is in a big font to
make sure it is one of
the first things the
reader sees
I also made sure my
masthead was in a
different colour to
everything else

5. I used a plug to give the
readers an idea of what
sort of articles will be
included in my
magazine
I could have made my
plug more exiting and
eye catching by using
effects and shapes to
enhance the plug

6. I used a puff to make
my magazine look
popular and to sell it to
the readers as being a
good magazine

7. I used a few basic
colours to create a
house style , red, green,
white and yellow
To improve I could
have used the same
shade of each colour

8. The tone of my
magazine
seems quite
serious from
the feature
photo but on
the contents
page it seems
casual as the
articles sounds
casual

9. I used the magnetic lasso tool to cut out my
feature cover photo
I used the text tool to create my text
