ANATOMY OF A MAGAZINE COVER

PRELIMINARY TASK EVALUATION

Completed Preliminary task

 

In my completed front cover on the bottom right corner there is my magazine cover image with the top story written down in a bigger caption over it, on the left side of it we have two other side story and under this we got the price and the barcode.

 

On my Contents page I used the same colour as on my front cover, I also listed up the top stories of the magazine on the left side, I put Mike Makin on the side, he is just watching over all the readers. On the bottom there is another picture I took of one of our classmates, I combined it with a story about the Photography club.


But to create the Cover and the Contents page, I had to look at some examples to find some guidance to find out how to design it.

Preparing the front cover image

I took a picture of the entrance of our college to put it in the background of my cover photo and I took a Medium Close Up Shot of one of our classmates in a relative plain background to crop it out with Photoshop. So I cropped it out and did some minor adjustments and put it over the other picture, which I edited as well, I made it a bit darker . For the background I did a Long Shot.

Preliminary Task

In our preliminary task we had to design the front cover and the content page of our own individual college magazine.
In order to do this task we had to take photos for both of these pages, our classmates were kind of "models" for this. After we took the photos we had to edit them in Photoshop and after the editing we designed the pages with the program InDesign.
