For my front cover, I used a website called Canva, which helped me design the layout for my front cover and put together my magazine. I chose this peachy-pink pastel colour because it is a refreshing colour that gives out sweet vibes and positivity.
The masthead is very simple yet it stands out as I have placed a white box underneath it. I placed another black box underneath the white box, making it look like its 3d and has dimensions. I did the same thing for the main image, where I added a black box behind it, in order to make it look 3d and give some sort of dimension to it. I added 2 white circular lines to 2 opposite ends of the front cover, just to add some funk and pizzazz and make the front cover eye catchy. Once again, the date and issue of the magazine is underneath the main image, with a white rectangle behind it, making it stand out. I placed the barcode in the left corner, as most barcodes on front covers are placed there. the cover lines and tag lines are all written in the Times Roman font. I chose the colour white as the it stands out on the dark shades of the main image on the front cover of the magazine front cover.

For the contents page, I used the same peachy-pink colour as a solidly background colour, with a stripe of the front cover's main image, in a black and white style. the title/masthead of the contents is very simple but easy to read and easy to notice too, as it has the same white and black dimensional squares at the back.
I also added the white circular lines to the contents page as it can be seen as a trademark for my magazine . in terms of the table of contents, I only mentioned important news/information in regards to all of the articles (even though I only wrote the article for pages 20-21 as we only needed 1 double plate spread). I made the numbers look a lighter against the white background by using a colour that is 2 shades lighter than the background peachy-pink colour. the articles I have chosen for my magazine are random but I have chosen them from real life news and events. |
