Preliminary Task

After doing my preliminary task i found that i could have done things to improve it. As you can see the background doesn't really go with the main story because the main story is about the girl on the picture being new bu the background she is on is someone else's art work. When i do my magazine i will think about what the magazine will be about and who the main story is about and then decide what background would work well with the story. When doing my photo-shoot i should have thought about what i am going to write on the magazine and then left enough room around my model for the titles. I am very pleased with my layout of the magazine as the headings are equally spread out which stops the cover from looking to busy. The colors i have chosen make the magazine look bright which when in the shop it would stand out and would hopefully be the first thing that the customers would see. The pose from the model works well with the college magazine as she has a book in her hand and stood in front of art work obviously done by a pupil.

This is my contents page which i designed myself. After looking at my design i found that it was very plain and when producing my contents page for my music magazine i will look at images that relate to the magazine and alot of color to make it look attractive. It doesn't look as busy as it should as there is no images and only indicates what is in the magazine but nothing about the actual stories. When producing my contents page i will think about the color, layout and pictures to make it look appealing and will research contents pages from music magazines so i have a good idea on what i should do.
