Article

For the past two lessons I have been writing up the article for my double page spread. I now have to plan my photos for my front cover and double page spread. Ready to take pictures tomorrow.              

Preliminary Task Evaluation

Front cover

The purpose of a front cover is to attract a reader and to advertise the rest of the magazine so they will want to buy it. You could have the most interesting magazine ever written, but if the front cover isn't appealing it won't be bought by half as many people.

I think that the colour scheme I have used is consistent, however after analysing the front cover I have found that the colours I have used are slightly too hard to read. In my final task I need to make sure thats the text is easy to read.

I was most pleased with the picture that I took for the front cover as I felt it was the most original. I think it is interesting and makes the magazine stand out.

Contents page

My aim is to make the contents page look like there is a lot in the magazine and that the magazine was worth buying. However, I don't want to make it look too busy and messy.

I will include a letter from the editor and a subscription advertisement.

preliminary task

This week my aim was to finish of my preliminary task. However, due to the extreme weather conditions this week absences from college meant that I could not get to a computer to finish off. I have completed my front cover and mock up of my contents page. I then need to evaluate my task and I will have finished.
