Short Evaluation

for this project i had to create a front page and a draft of a contents page for a magazine i chose to do a media magazine and show someone on a computer as the front cover image.

on my front cover of the magazine i used a medium close up image of a girl on a computer and the photo makes her stand out as i have blurred the background so you focus on what is impotant on the image. my front cover shows the girl working hard on a laptop showing that hard work = success and that she is concentrating on her work. the audience the magazine is aimed at is 16-19 year olds as thats general age people are at college and it is also made by a college student so this also reflects on the magazine.Finally the cover represents what media is like and having to work on laptops/computers and as the girl in the picture looks like she is concentrating and working hard shows the comitment to the media subject. the girl i used in the magazine had a blue top on so i carried the theme and used a darker blue as the title so first you look at what its called then the image all the subheading and headings are blue and black so they stand out ontop of the image.

in conclution i think my final piece went well and on time,the colours i used contrasted the image on the front cover and i followed the brief and included everything i needed to.

final piece front cover

this is my final front cover i kept to my draft which worked well but i had to change one thing i put my issue and date at the top right instead of the bottom right.

front cover draft

this is the layout to my front cover and how i would like it to look like

contents draft

barcodes.

these are the barcodes i created for my college magazine i used the name of my magazine to personalise the barcode so i wasnt just copy and pasting and already exsisting one.

i created these barcodes on http://www.barcodesinc.com/generator/index.php

final picture

this is the picture i decided to use on my front cover as it was landscape and the person i used was positioned to the right which gave me room on the left for the sub headings and enough room above for the heading  without cuting the head of off the image.

name and fonts of my magazine

i chose the name media mag as it is short and snappy and is appropreate of all ages of the college and for genders. i decided to use the 7th font as it was simple and easy to read but these are the fonts i thought looked good
