Final Design

    FRONT PAGE                                           CONTENTS PAGE

  

These are the final designs. I have changed these slightly from the last drafts I did. I included in more lures on the front page as well as another story in the contents page in order to use up space. I also added my own signature to the editor's message on the contents page, I did this by scanning my own signature and putting it into photoshop.

Final Design - Drafts

This is my front page draft. This was originally meant to be the final design I used but I made some more improvements to make it look more professional. I have three lures on the front, one of which I bended round the arm of the person, this is because it's less formal and appeals more to my younger target audience. I also tilted the Trinity logo to the side to make it less formal also. I gave the magazine details such as magazine details on the page, a convention of magazines. I also gave short summaries of other pages on the bottom left of the page, this is also a convention of magazine as it shows the reader more stories without using large font and taking up space.



I kept with a similar design to my written drafts as I did with the front page. I have a short message from the editor at the top right which is a convention of magazine contents pages. Another convention being that i used the cover page in the contents page and linking short story summaries to the lures to show the audience what page the story there interested is in on. Images linking with numbers is iconography of contents pages as it illustrates the stories making them more interesting to the reader. The page number as well as the story summaries are separated on the right side of the page. This is also a convention of magazine contents page as this organised layout helps the reader find the stories they want to read easier.

Original Photography

This is the photography I took around the school to use in my magazine. I won't use all of this photography as it does not suit the purpose I want to use them for, or the target audience. Such as the photo of the boys playing table tennis, they're in smart clothes and not sports clothes, this means students won't relate them as much to actually playing sport or an actual event as the photo is obviously posed.
