3. An example of what they’ll see
• For this pitch, I have created an example of what will be
in my magazine by creating a front cover and double
page spread.
A taste of what the audience will be reading.
4. Front Cover
• Color scheme chosen based on questionnaire given to
computer enthusiasts.
• Most people who took the questionnaire chosen blue.
• Font choice based on questionnaire: REVOLUTION and
Harabara had most votes from questionnaire results.
• I chose a readable font that looked similar to what was
chosen from questionnaire: Raleway.
• Magazine will advertise its feature article greatly, which
should catch the reader’s eye if they are into computing.
• Tagline will promote the magazine as “The UK’s go-to
magazine for computer enthusiasts”.

6. • Feature article will be related to computing. For the first issue’s
main article, the components required to build a computer will be
detailed.
• People who read a computing magazine will most likely be curious
about building a computer themselves.
• To keep with the in-house style of the magazine and make the
magazine suit its audience, the blue colours have been kept.
