Front Cover Stages

Front Cover 1

I started of making my front cover by putting in some of the items that I said that I would use.

The colours looked all over the place and i decided that the background didn't work as it made it look to busy.

Front Cover 2

Once I had took out the background I decided that the title looked to feminine so I changed the colour and the font from baby blue to red. Also I decided the picture was a very important part of the magazine so I brought it in front of the title and took away the blue bit around it.

I then started to play around with the colours and added in an extra story.

To make the picture add in with the title, I then decided to make some weighing scales and put school and music on either side for effect.

once again I decided that the title still wasn't right and it didn't stand out enough. To make it stand out better I made the outline thicker.

I didn't really think that the extra story was going to work on the front cover so I took it out and changed it for a free poster inside.

I also didn't think that the two colours was working as it looked to busy. So I changed it back to just red and white with a little yellow.

Front Cover 4

When i came back and looked at it again I didn't think the free poster inside worked well being yellow as it was hard to see and didn't really fit in. So I decided to change it to red to fit in with the colour scheme.

Front Cover 5

When I showed my front cover to some friends they said that they could tell that the school and music was part of the main story title.

So I decided to change it to the same font, size and colour

to make it more recognisable as part of the title.

Finally when I came back to look at it for the last time I realised that I had forgotten to put in the bar code, price and date. Once I had made the bar code, price and date I put it in the bottom right hand corner where I said I would in the spare gap.

The last thing that I added in was the background because when I tried it with one I decided that it looked better

and made everything else on the page stand out more.
