Evaluation / Front Cover

This is my finished Front Cover after editing it using Photoshop and also Power Point. I have stuck to my initial idea, such as the sell lines, headline , picture and the mast head. I like the way the image looks very professional this then makes it aesthetically pleasing. However it was quite hard to find a text colour that would stand out but still look good, as it was relatively hard to find the right colour due to the leaves at the background. But overall I am quite pleased with the overall outcome.

Analysing A Magazine

In this magazine there is a clear and bold 'Vogue' masthead which is striking to the audience. The headline ' Megawatt fashion' is right in the middle of the front cover , it is also in bold making it eye catching. Through the various different sell lines the colour light blue is constantly being used to highlight a certain keyword which captures the readers attention. The camera is pointing Front View to present the model facing the camera directly at a middle shot angle to show her confidence and prominence in the image. 

Unedited Pictures

I chose the last picture because everyone was in a position I wanted to be in, there is a clear pattern of boy and girl which is aesthetically pleasing as it shows an organised arrangement. The use of the tree at the background can also suggest the month this magazine is being published, and can set an autumnal setting making the front cover more appealing to look at, although I may find it hard to find a font colour that would go well with the colour of the leaves. The use of Ring binders, Folders and Prospectus can help suggest the fact that this is a sixth-form or school magazine.  

My Initial Idea

This is a quick sketch of my what I intend to have achieved by the end.I wanted to use a bold mast head as it really stands out to the audience. 'S.F.M' stands for Sixth-form Magazine. My magazine is going to be about the Sixth-form in general, from how to lay out your revision table to work experience. I want my target audience to be a wide range from the ages of 13-18 years old. Also I want my button the attract my audience as it may also encourage them to buy the magazine. My masthead is ' Achievable A's' the use of Alliteration makes it catchy and straight to the point. I want my models to be in a orderly pattern of boy, girl etc. as it is aesthetically pleasing, also a diverse race as it shows how different people can be in the sixth-form but still have a bond even through education
