Draft Front Cover.




I made this Draft front cover to try and get a feel for Photoshop again- I took inspiration from this magazine on down below and I can see that I need to improve some stuff as it does need improvement with changing the sub heading fonts but as a first go at doing this I think I did well.

Some elements that I would improve are-

  • The colour pallet, I do not think this would look good on the front of a magazine as I think the colours are too bright. As we can see the colours on the right are very cool toned.
  • In my final magazine I would include more subheadings as the cover looks a little bear and would need to have more on the front to entice customers into buying it. 
  • I would change the puff as well as I think it may be too big for a front cover- I would probably change the colour of it also. 
Some elements that I like and would use in my final magazine-
  • I really like my logo, I am going to keep this and use it or my final magazine. I also really like the way I have created a layered effect with the word 'Devon' on top of the word 'Discover'. I think it looks very professional.

Initial Response To Chosen Brief.

I have selected to do my coursework this year on the brief that requires me to make a extract from a documentary which lasts 5 minutes. I have to create 2 other pieces along side my documentary and these can be; Radio Trailer for the documentary. Double-page spread from a listings magazine focused in the documentary. Newspaper Advertisement for the documentary. For my ancillary tasks I am going to do the double page spread from a listings magazine because I would like to be able to write about my project and give text because people may not fully understand the angle I am going for within my documentary. Also, I think that people would read about it and it would make them watch it. For the second ancillary task I am going to do the newspaper advertisement so I can put my photo-shop skills to use. I will create a film like poster which will need to catch peoples attention and make them want to watch the documentary- I want it to be informative about what the documentary i...

Draft double page spread

Image
After finishing this I have decided that this is the idea that I want to use, I love the theme and the images but there is a lot to change and rearrange with trying to make it look like a proper magazine double page spread. If this was going to be my final piece I know that many things would have to be change such as- The spacing within the text doesn't look profession, it looks scruffy and mismatched. I would make it all square and equal. I would do this to produce a crisp and clear line between the text and the photos.  There no page numbers which would need to be on there as it would not be a proper double page spread- This would need to be added to my final pages.  I would make sure that all of the images looked as if they go together, I may even fade them into the background.
