The document discusses design choices for magazine covers and layouts. It notes that the masthead was placed at the top of the front cover so it could be recognized on shelves if obscured. It also mentions that the main image is typically centered on magazine covers and that it used a mid-shot. Font choices and consistent house style across pages is also discussed.

6. DEVELOP: I chose to use
different shapes to make it so
people look at what is inside
like inside the star it says free

more likely to look at something
inside an interesting shape that
just text in general.

7. CHALLENGE: my
magazine challenges the
typical magazine as I have
placed some parts of my
magazine in different places,
for example the barcode,
usually in the bottom right or
left and then what I have
placed in the button would
usually be placed at the top
where the artists names are.

a exciting look linking it
to our genre of pop.
USE: The use of
capital letters and
larger font to make the
main bits stand out
from the rest of the
text.

9. DEVELOP: I added
the numbers in in a
different font and in bold
so people know where
to turn to so they can
read the story.

instead of having all of
the content in one like
or in one section I

coloured fonts one colour
for the questions and one
colour for the answer.

them have the chance
to ask them there own
questions.

15. CHALLENGE: Not
many double page
spreads have colour in
the background but I
decided to add it as it
works well with the
pictures I added.

16. How I Attracted My Target Audience
The fonts and colours that I used linked well to the target audience our
magazine is based at. The fonts I used were plain and readable to give
them a formal look but also at the same time I tried to make the text the
same as what it would be in a music magazine.
The main image I used was of someone i thought looked like a pop artist
and would appeal to the audience of the magazine. The stories that
included could link well to the audience as people who read the magazine
are just starting to go and do what they want in life so tips like I included in
my magazine like how to make your voice pitch perfect work well. It also
doesn’t contain anything that wouldn’t be suitable for the audience like
bad language.

Blogger, Word, 1001 free fonts, PowerPoint. The
types of hardware I used were the Digital Camera
and the Video Recorder. Blogger is what I put everything
about my blog onto including the
preliminary tasks, the planning and
the actual magazine.
I used this to get the fonts in I used this to take my raw photos

my magazine magazine
I used Photoshop to edit the raw photos we used this for our audience
that I had taken this is to give them a research, this included us going out
more professional look by changing and finding out what people like and
things like the brightness and cutting out what they would want in a magazine
the unwanted background.

18. From the preliminary task I have seen that there are many things that you have to
consider when making a magazine from simply just selecting fonts to having to edit the
pictures but also positioning of photos and text. Some of the things that I have learnt
are shown in the pictures below.
I also found that splitting it
into sections helps in the fact
On this you can see that this is a that all of the text being in one
very effective bar, it is as though it place then the images being in
is separating this part from the another isn’t always the best
rest of the magazine on the shelf way to position it.
