DEVELOPING UNDERSTANDING During the preliminary task I had

no experience on photoshop or with magazines forms and conventions. Since then I have developed a better understanding what should be on a magazine front cover , what size it should be and how it should all be laid out.

FRONT COVER FONT SIZES

P R E L I M I N A R Y

• Size of all fonts incorrect

• Masthead is not big enough

• Cover lines spread out to much and messy

F U L L P R O D U C T

• I have learnt the masthead should be in a much larger font than everything else

• Also main headline needs to be bigger than cover lines.

COLOUR SCHEME

P R E L I M I N A R Y T A S K

• I used red, orange, blue, yellow and black for fonts showing no colour scheme

F U L L P R O D U C T

• I have learnt for it to look aesthetically pleasing and reflect a certain genre there must be a clear colour scheme

IMAGE

P R E L I M I N A R Y

• Image is very plain with a poor background not suitable to be the background for the whole page

F U L L P R O D U C T

• I have learnt the photo must be more striking, involving props or hand gestures in order to address and attract the reader

• The background must also be more suitable, making sure cover lines and the headline will be easy to read over it.

CONTENTS PAGE

P R E L I M I N A R Y

• Very plain and boring , not much colour

• Not many articles

• ‘Contents’ should be in a bigger font

F U L L P R O D U C T

• I have learnt different colour fonts are needed to make the page look more exciting and attract the reader

• More articles

• Bigger font for contents
