The front cover

In this week I am planning on creating my cover using the image of me and my friend Alice. I have chosen this picture because I though I would base my magazine on student party's. This is a good image to use because at the time me and my friend were having a party to begin with.

I have decided to do my layout like this because most common magazines have a layout similar to mine. As it says on the banner/headline/masthead it shall say "Student life". I'm not sure what text style I shall use because I have no idea what ones are available, however I will make sure that the writing is hybrid. To do this I will find a text style that has a range of colours that stands out.
My main headline by the side of my picture will be called "The after life of the party". I have given it this name because it, makes you feel curious in wondering what the topic is on about, is it complaining about partying, giving advice, or in support I might name this as an exclusive but I'm not too sure it will be very good for this topic.










This is my first front cover that I have created, Ive chosen a basic colour scheme because I didn't want to over crowd the page so that you would get distracted by the different font range and writing. I think I'm going to do a few more, using the same image to see what I think is the best.




This is my second cover that I have created. I think this one was lot better than the first because it feels more lively most likely because of the add of colour, but I still feel like it's missing something. I'm a little annoyed that my pictures has'nt come out that well and that the captions are a too small to read.
However I happy to the fact that its a suitable image and that the main story based around the picture is easy to read.
I have decided that this will be my final idea but it will have some more information such as the price.















This was my third go at changing the cover. In this cover I wanted to make it seem less crowded so by doing this I change the title to now be portrait, I also wanted to get more of the picture involved. This does not seem as good as the other pictures. I just wanted to see what it would look like and see what other people thought.

  1. I think I like the first one best but I think all of them are a little bit blocky. Your coverlines might look better without the boxes behind them. I definately prefer your masthead at the top of the page
