1. Task Six
For my magazine in the end it came out a lot
better than I first anticipated. I wasn’t expecting
to be able to learn how to get my magazine to
such a good quality so quickly. With my front
cover, I went for a berry tree in a forest; this
photo along with the tree standing out in the
middle I think suits the magazine cover. I took
notice of how on all the different magazines the
bar code was in the bottom right; this was a good
choice, as it didn’t obscure any of the pages in
any main areas, such as covering needed text.
Instead of having my image to the side and
having to write around and along the side of it, I
chose to have it in the middle, between texts, but
also keep to other magazine designs and keep
the main part of the image free from text. I took
ideas from magazines I’ve seen all around and
added an edition number to the front cover, that
way
With my magazine I took into account “Photographers Magazine” where on the
front cover they had a photo of a landscape visible and not covered in text. I also
did the same kind of text design over the front of the page, by taking notes on
other magazines I had to make the masthead of my magazine big, so it was
clearly visible and not at all hard to un-notice.
The thing, which influenced my work the most, was landscapes. Around the
world there are incredible landscapes which, when captured at the right
moment, look magnificent. Along with landscaped general photos of nature can
grow into something eye catching.
