Front cover first blog

1. I chose my magazine title to be bright
and bold because I am appealing to
girls of the ages 11-15years. Pink and
yellow stereotypically will appeal to
them also the use of a ‘#’ shows that
the magazine is modern. It is a
collection of all the things that are
most like present in their lives.
The decision to use
heart shaped starburst
was because I DON’T
KNOW.
Different fonts were
used for each
particular subheading
to match the topic. For
example I used
Consolas for ‘Txting
tutorials’ because it
looks digital. Giving
the hearts a red stroke
lifts it off the page this
provides the
magazine with more
dimensions.
I wanted the boys to be
the main attraction for
the magazine. This is
because they are likely
to appeal to the majority
of my target audience.
Due to there being four
boys in the picture it
was easy for it to cover
most of the page and be
the center of attention.
Due to Mason’s being
curly it left gaps where
the green screen could
be seen, it was
extremely difficult to
tackle this problem. As
a solution I tried to use
the smudge tool to see
if I could cover the
green over the brown, it
was satisfactory
solution however it was
not the best.
For the name of
the band ‘Rubix’ I
decided to create
a pattern over lay
to resemble the
pattern of a rubix
cube. To make
the text more
legible I used an
outer glow, this
also lifted it off
the page, making
sure the
magazine wasn’t
looking flat. I
placed it over the
image of the
boys to
incorporated it
and show it’s
their name.
