Preliminary task



Here i have created the front cover to a college magazine. I like the idea of cutting out my image, however the cutting is rushed and looks untidy. Therefore if i was to do this for my music magazine, i would have to zoom in on the picture and take my time to make it look neat and professional. I also think the white space makes it look boring and unoriginal, as well as the simple fonts. So when doing my music magazine i will experiment with different colours and fonts, to make my front cover look exciting and unique.
I have used a mast head, as this is a convention of a magazine, as well as strap line at the bottom, this gives it a professional look. As well as headlines of the latest stories, plastered onto the cover, to interest the buyer.
I have done a basic sketch of my contents page, showing the articles and there page numbers and have drawn boxes to show where pictures would be placed relating to the articles. This relates to the conventions of a typical magazine, however when making my music magazine i will look closely at contents pages of similar genres to see how they illustrate their articles and catch the readers eye.
