This is the front cover to my preliminary project. Doing this project has allowed me to experiment with different programs such as publisher and fireworks and has given me a better understanding of how to use them when creating my final music magazine .
I created the front cover using publisher and although the program was easy to use I think if I had used fireworks it would have given me a more professional looking magazine due to more variety of features available.
Images: I decided to use just one image on the front cover, I did this to attract the readers attention, it is also conventional of a magazine to have just one main image. I took a number of pictures but decided this one was the best as the lighting was better than in the other ones I had taken. I decided to take the photograph on a plain background to avoid having to edit the background, it also allows the two students to stand out more.
The only other image I have used on the front cover was the school’s logo, I used the logo so the magazine could be easily recognised by the audience.
Colours and fonts: I decided to use a colour scheme of yellow blue and black on the front cover as I thought they worked well together and they also fit in with the colours on the school’s logo. I have used quite basic fonts which are easy to read by the audience, for my music magazine I think I will need to have a bigger variety of fonts which are more original.
Layout: The layout of my front cover is quite conventional, for example the mater head is at the top of the page and the main image is in the centre. I think the layout is good for a school magazine front cover, however on my music magazine I think a more unique layout would be likely to attract the audience better.
