Front Cover In JPEG

I am really happy with my front cover. It is very unique because the old man represents every student. The message trying to be conveyed is that anybody can come and study AS/A levels at Sussex Downs College. The magazine is called Inside which is basically what the magazine is about, Inside Sussex Downs College and extra information. I feel if i had more time i could of improved the layout of my magazine but overall i am very happy with my front cover.

Contents Page In JPEG

My contents page has all the key information you need for a magazine. But it could do with a bit more colour and excitement. I am happy with my contents page because its clear and easy to read and locate pages that are wan5ted to be read. But it is a bit to formal for a college magazine which is a bit of a drwaback to the mag. I could of changed the font to something more jazzy. On the front cover Inside is italic so when ever i use the word inside like i have on the contents page i use italic font. This is so its easily identified.

Review

I believe that the picture i chose was very suitable for the magazine idea. The purpose of the picture is to show that anybody can come and study at Sussex Downs College. The font i chose was green because it is a popular colour and it stands out. But it is quite hard to read so i could of used a more bolder coulour, but overall i am quite happy with my choice of font. On my front cover i have Inside in italic. even when i use the word inside in a sentance its italic. This is so the magazine is easily recognized. My Contents page is a bit dull. But it has all the key information that is needed and is very clear.

Flat Plans

Before going ahaead with my photo, i created a flatplan. The pictures above are my front-cover magazine all planned out and my contents page.

Photo Choices(Mock Ups)

These photos are the ones that i did not choose. Mainly because there inappropriate to the magazine. They also didn't relate to the magazine title. The picture on the left is inappropriate because you cant see her face, and the picture on the right is also inappropriate because she looks evil and my magazine is quite a happy magazine

Photo Choices

This the photo i have chosen. It is a medium close up. Before choosing this picture i took other pictures to compare and see which was the best one.

Introduction to preliminary task

This is the blog fo the preliminary task.

The task will involve creating the front cover for Sussex Downs College, to do this i will be using 'Adobe InDesign'. When taking the picture for the magazine i will be taking a mid-shot photo. I will also consider the angle and how how the audience views the subject.

I will also be producing a mock-up of the layout of the contents page but it will not require detailed text or images.
