Mock up Front covers (School Mag)



This was the first stage of getting my front cover done after i had chosen a colour scheme that i liked i decided to start to play with where i wanted my medium close-up photo to be, once i had decided this i proceeded to use the, blueish green colours in little squares to give it more colour and brighten it up for the reader. I tried the photo layered over the squires but preferred having the reverse of this.









The next step that i did was to add the main story and a little information about it to interest the readers. i surveyed twenty people around the school who would be potential readers of the magazine what colour would look best with what i had done already and most said that they think blue will work best, so i took this advise and used a bright blue that matched some of the coloured squares.









The third step that i took was to add the name of the magazine i had a few idea's but decided to go with this as it sounds quite fun and helps to keep it as an informal magazine. I put the school logo on it so that it can instantly be reconized as this particular magazine.
