AROHANA: October 2015

Here is how i started. well first i opened photo shop ( blank A4 page ) then i had to adjust my main image so that i have enough space for the masthead and headlines. then i edited the the name of the magazine.i used black and white writing color because i wanted my student model to be the main focus and i didn't want the front cover to look colorful,i wanted it to look simple but catchy.

then all i did is add a bar code at the end of the page and add text. The barcode helps to show the audience that it is a magazine. i used color boxes to make sure the texts are visible and stand out so that the reader can clearly see what the magazine contains.I made sure that the texts are inline and looks good.

TOP 3 IMAGES CHOSEN FOR FROINT COVER

Here the image looks large and my model is the main attention this attracts the customer they can clearly see she is a students as she has an exercise book and a pen. the image is direct mode of address my model is looking directly at the camera. the direct gaze helps stimulate interaction with each individual reader

This image is taken LOW ANGLE. The angle makes my model look more powerful and confident .I feel this image is appropriate for a school magazine the model is holding a notepad , however i wish i used a brighter lighting , I ll make sure to make it more brighter when editing, hopefully through editing i can make the image look better.

I wanted to take a image of students working together to show knowledge being shared between students, this image was taken candid snapshot, i thought it was better to take it this ay because i didn't want the image to look forced and unrealistic.

IMAGES FOR FRONT COVER

TOP 3 FONTS

I chosen the name HAGGY-WEEKLY for the School magazine as its catchy and rhymes which makes it more exciting. The first and second font are quite similar as they are bold and have a black background. The first one looks like graffiti writing which can often be related to school and artwork. The second font looks similar to the first, but looks less graffiti and looks quite simple and appropriate for a school magazine. The third font is more simple and the letter are not quite inline and the letters aren't properly placed so it makes the magazine seem more entertaining.
