3. FRONT
COVERS
• Since
making
my
previous
magazine,
I
have
learnt
to
use
contrasHng
colours
and
bold
fonts
so
that
the
text
stands
out.
This
is
important
as
it
aJracts
the
viewers
aJenHon
and
allows
them
to
easily
read
the
cover
lines.
Whereas
on
my
previous
magazine
cover,
the
plugs
were
wriJen
in
a
thin
and
unclear
wriHng.
They
were
also
against
neutral
colours
and
therefore
did
not
easily
stand
out.
4. FRONT
COVERS
• I
have
also
learnt
to
use
an
image
of
where
the
proporHon
on
both
sides
of
the
model
is
even.
Due
to
this,
for
my
final
product
I
chose
an
image
where
the
arHst
was
centered.
This
resulted
in
having
an
even
amount
of
text
on
both
sides
of
the
cover,
looking
more
aestheHcally
pleasing
and
containing
more
informaHon.
5. FRONT
COVERS
• I
also
decided
to
create
a
meaning
with
the
main
image
of
the
cover,
a
technique
that
I
did
not
use
in
my
previous
task.
To
do
this,
I
put
my
model
in
shorts
designed
in
the
style
of
the
Union
Jack,
connoHng
what
the
main
feature
was
about.
6. FRONT
COVERS
• One
thing
that
I
have
kept
the
same
as
my
previous
task
is
a
colour
scheme.
However,
as
my
other
colour
scheme
was
mainly
focused
around
shades
of
pink,
I
decided
to
use
the
colours
of
red,
white
and
black,
so
that
the
magazine
would
easily
appeal
to
both
genders.

• Since
making
the
6th
form
magazine,
I
have
also
learnt
new
skills
on
PhotoShop,
allowing
me
to
improve
the
aestheHcs
of
the
cover.
This
includes
factors
such
as;
outling
the
text
to
make
it
stand
out
and
superimposing
images
on
top
of
text.
9. CONTENTS
PAGES
• Since
creaHng
my
previous
contents
page,
I
have
learnt
to
add
more
pages
on
the
list
of
what
is
in
the
magazine.
This
is
to
add
a
sense
of
realism
as
in
reality
a
magazine
contains
more
than
ten
pages.
• I
have
also
learnt
to
emphasize
the
main
feature
within
the
magazine
by
displaying
a
large
image
of
the
main
arHst
on
the
contents
page.
Whereas
on
my
previous
contents
page,
I
did
not
even
have
a
main
feature
to
emphasize.
AWer
research,
I
have
discovered
that
it
is
a
majorly
important
convenHon.
10. CONTENTS
PAGES
• I
have
also
learnt
to
keep
the
colour
scheme
consistent
the
whole
way
through
the
magazine
as
it
adds
to
the
overall
house
style.
• A
factor
that
I
did
keep
the
same
is
the
use
of
having
two
columns.
This
is
because
I
think
that
it
is
an
aestheHcally
pleasing
layout
and
is
easy
to
disHnguish
the
difference
between
the
page
numbers
and
images.
• Another
convenHon
that
I
kept
the
same
was
the
use
of
a
logo
on
the
contents
page
for
easy
brand
recogniHon.
11. LIAR
• Since
the
preliminary
task
I
have
gained
a
beJer
knowledge
on
how
to
apply
LIAR
to
my
product.
For
example,
for
the
music
magazine
I
carried
out
various
research
by
looking
at
previous
magazines
to
see
which
kind
of
language
was
used
to
suit
the
genre
of
R&B.
I
also
looked
at
and
created
my
own
reader
profile
(something
that
I
did
not
do
for
my
6th
form
magazine)
helping
create
a
true
picture
of
whom
my
product
was
specifically
aimed
for.
This
also
helped
when
considering
the
representaHon
of
the
arHst
within
my
magazine.
For
example,
the
6th
form
magazine
consisted
of
a
happy
looking,
well
behaved,
innocent
school
girl,
whereas
my
R&B
magazine
was
the
complete
opposite
as
it
consisted
of
a
rebellious,
seducHve
singer
with
hardly
any
clothes
on.
12. OVERALL
• Overall,
I
have
developed
a
variety
of
new
Photo
Shop
skills
enabling
me
create
a
beJer,
more
aestheHcally
pleasing
and
suitable
product.
I
have
also
learnt
that
depending
on
the
genre
of
magazine,
the
style
of
images
taken
will
be
different
in
order
to
aJract
the
target
demographic.
This
can
be
seen
by
the
disHncHve
difference
of
images
from
my
school
magazine,
which
contrast
with
my
R&B
magazine.
Learning
new
skills,
elements
and
convenHons
has
also
allowed
me
to
make
a
Double
Page
Spread,
suited
for
my
genre
and
target
market.
