Research and Planning: All Pictures.

Pictures that weren't used on the magazine cover.

Research and Planning: Magazine Contents Page Layout.

 

Here is the sample layout of my magazine contents page. 

The colour scheme will consist of a light grey background, yellow/orange headers and white text. The same logo I designed on my magazine cover for 'Clarendon College' will be used. 

To make this, I:

• Opened a new file on InDesign.
• Created guides, and had two (middle, teal lines) guidelines for my text boxes.
• Applied the text, changed fonts, sizes, and height.

Research And Planning: My Magazine Cover.

 

I made the cover to my magazine over Photoshop. To do this, I:

• Cut out an imagine of myself, and setted it onto a white background.

• Added text, price, and title.
• Used a seperate barcode from an image.

Research and Planning: Magazine Fonts.

In this task, we took three titles from magazine covers and used fonts from Dafont.com to suit the theme.

• The first title was Popworld, a magazine for a younger audience, girls typically.
• The second was a movie magazine called Popcorn, where film reviews and releases are.
• The last was DeathMetal, a magazine about rock and metal music.

To do this, I:

1. Opened a new project on Photoshop.

2. Downloaded three different fonts from Dafont.com, and installed them.

3. Opened up three text boxes on the document, and selected the fonts.

4. Wrote the titles individually, and altered the colours. 

Research and Planning: Magazine Cover Drawing.

I designed a sample layout for a magazine cover, using the evidence from my analysed college magazine covers.

Research and Planning: Interviews.

1. The participants wanted to know about school events, and news around the college. They were also interested in gossip stories. 

2. The participants also enjoyed bold mastheads, and impacting fonts and sizes.

3. They preferred a bright colour scheme.

4. They would be willing to pay between 50p and £1.

5. The fonts recommended were impact, and Times New Roman.

Research and Planning: Audience Interviews. (Question Sheet.)

I'm going to record three participants during a set of five questions.

QUESTIONS:

1. Stories you would like to read about?

2. What do you think of the magazine masthead?

3. What are your thoughts on the colour scheme?

4. How much would you be willing to pay?

5. Which fonts should we use?
