Final Front Page

Photos

I like this photo, but i think it woul look better on my contents page rather than my front cover.

This photo has been cropped on publisher, but I think that this photo isn't very good for the front cover.

This is my chosen photo. I have cropped the photo to make it more of a decent size, which allows me to make it bigger, so it takes up more of my page.

I was going to chose this picture, but I think that the background is too busy.

The picture is from the After Party, i wanted a nice pretty picture with prom dresses. So this will go on my contents.

I think this photo would look better on my contents page.

This picture will be going on my contents page.

Week Two Review

This week i have designed my mocks, and realised that my second design you dont tend to have the masshead going down the side of the page. I ahve also designed and organised my photo shoot. I have taken my photos, which shall be put on some time this week.

This week i am going to sort out my front cover page, and begin to put it together.

Organising A Photo Shoot

I am going to have a photo shoot, with three to four Students. I haven't decided yet what the Students will be doing, or the angle of the shoot, or type. I think i am going to do a range of shots and then decide which one i am going to do. I am going to take all together about 10 different shots, and then place them upon my chosen design, which should help me chose which design i would prefer and which picture.

Textual Analysis Of Student Magazines

"First Car"

This magazine is aimed at teenagers, who are searching for their first car, hence the name of the magazine. The title is in a bold font with white writing, which allows the title to stand out because of all the buziness going on in the background, with allthe different colours. The use of a "banner" on this magazine allows your attention to be drawn to it, because it says "The Inbetweeners Interview". Alot of teenagers watch The Inbetweens so that would be part of the reason for buying this magazine about cars compared to others. Also the use of the bright yellow background with the black writing which allows the banner to stand out of the page. The photo links to the banner because the lads in the picture are from "The Inbetweeners". This takes up the majority of the page.

"Student Times"

This magazine is aimed at Students you can see this by the sub title which is in a text box, which has a dark background and a light white text. This links to the title which is also a blue and white colour scheme. In the top right hand corner there is a "free" icon which is in a text box. It is up the top because when the magazines are stacked up you will be able to see that it is free and what the magazine is called, so they will want to read it. There is also a big picture in the middle of the magazine of Peter Kay dressed up as a woman. They have used this image because it is a celebrity pull, Peter Kay is also a well known celebrity. The editor of this magazine has alaso used a play on words, "The K-Factor" They ahve used this, because when this magaizne was produced "The X-factor was on the television, and that is a well known popular television programme. Also when you look down Peter Kays long straightened hair, it leads to an adveritsment of "Toni & Guy" which are wellknown hairdressers, this is advertising their company to Students to get more trade.
