Here is my first draft of my work. You can see the front cover, contents page and double page spread has been created and filled with information.However I have worked hard and put effort into this construction. I personally think it looks quite good. Let me know what you think of my work so far. You can see a clear colour scheme along with text that is factual. There are real doodles included in this work going along with the rock trend of magazines having hand drawn images inside along with big real images taken.
Front Cover: The overall look of your front cover does not fit with the codes and conventions we expect of a magazine.
ReplyDelete-Think about the way you are boxing out - do you think the colours work?
-The font style and size - the font seems to big for the boxes and the spacing does not work aesthetically.
- Think about the conventions of the magazines you have looked at - does your magazine fit your chosen genre?
-Your masthead may look better straight rather than on a diagonal, also think about filling the top of the page with your masthead so your audience are sure of the magazines name.
- I do not think you need the 'Welcome to the' at the top of the page.
-'Enter the revolution to discover greatness' is not clear enough and cannot be read easily.
- Your Barcorde is stretched too much and does not seem professional.
- The image seems quite messy in terms of the technical elements of it and does not fit with the image type we might expect on a front cover.
Contents: Really nice idea of using your own illustrations, can you make sure these are cropped neatly and centred if you are to use them.
-Think about the aesthetics of your layout - does it look professional?
-Can you consider where your titles are and centre them so it is clear for your reader.
Double Page Spread: The basic idea is there, could you have a different image than the one on the front cover.
- The spacing between your first sentence and the rest of the paragraph is too big - please alter this.
- Consider framing your image, and adjust the cropping to make it neater.
