Transcript of Production of cover

At this stage in my production I

used the magic wond tool to crop

the picture out, completely

eliminating the background.

I briefly placed where I wanted my masthead to be. Also

had chosen the font to be something that looks

informative but not too formal and rigid in its approach, as

it’s a student magazine.

I placed the main cover line near to the

centre of the cover but aligned slightly to

the right. I wanted the cover line to overlap

the main image, to generate a sense of

dominance through the cover line as the

main image is very dominant itself.

At this stage in my production of my

magazine cover, I had resized the main

image to make it larger; also I used the

eraser tool to eliminate any of the

background that the magic wond tool didn’t

manage to remove. I also edited the

brightness and contrast of the photo, to

make it capture the audience’s attention.

At this stage I also placed the other

cover lines and aligned them to the

left. I placed in the pictures to

capture a visual element to the

cover line.

I re-adjusted the masthead to

be in a straight line and across

the top of the cover. I had done

this under the influence of my

research showing that it is

conventional to have your

masthead going across the top

of the contents page.

This is the outcome of the production stage of the magazine cover. I had made several changes and

adjustments from the pre-designs. In the previous caption I had used the colour red for the word

‘check’; however I changed this to yellow as I didn’t want to ruin the consistent use of the colour

yellow and white for the text. Under the influence of my research I noticed that selling lines go

either at the top, near the masthead or at the bottom near of the magazine, I decided to place the

selling line at the bottom. Through the use of feedback I adjusted my main cover line as it looked as

though the cover line was written on the main images clothing. To resolve this issue I adjusted the

size of the main cover line, leading to some of the words coming off the t shirt, making it not look as

though it was written on his t shirt. Through using various auto shapes, I created a logo to enhance

the theme of the magazine, within the auto shape it said ‘empowering youth’
