when creating my magazine front cover, i had to consider where everything would go on the page, and whether it will clash with the main image etc. to start with, i created a background for where my masthead will go.



i created the text using the blending options accessable on the adobe software. i gave my masthead a outline to possibly make it stand out more, and even attract the reader.



before i added anything else, i put the edited main image on the page, i had to crop the photo to make it fit the page, however the picture did not fill the space i had first thought it would, i later used this empty space to create a type of competition for those who are interested in reading the magazine.



this is the competition filling for the bottom of the page.



this is the final edition of the magazine front cover. i had additional straplines to allow the reader to know what is inside this magazine, and also present it to attact the audience which currently doesnt know of the magazine, and hopefully will want to read the articles.

Original Photograph before edit.

Before starting on our magazine front cover, we each took different photographs that could be used on the front cover, the photograph that I chose contained both male and female to say that the magazine is not biased to one gender. From my research, I noticed that most backgrounds are not very appealing, so that the attention rests completely on the person(s). I hoped that in my photograph, it will attract an audience that see that the persons on the magazine are the same age, and might be interested in reading the magazine.

Proposal Analysis

Proposal Analysis

The “Chelmsford College Review” name has been used as it is as though it signifies that it was reviewing the month of both the Chelmsford College and the media in general. This includes interviews with students, teachers and (if possible if asked by the reader) a famous celebrity.

The contents list we have chosen is specifically chosen to target both genders between the ages of 14-18; the age group has been decided as it is because it will attract and influence younger audiences to consider studying at Chelmsford College in later years, furthermore it will also entertain those currently studying at Chelmsford College.

A well designed magazine will have a structured layout on each page, and also will always have specific topics that the target audience find interesting. This will be accustomed by research to find out what the target audience find interesting.

The price will be researched, and I will use the price that seems fit for my magazine, I may take into consideration that it is a college magazine, and therefore may lower the price if the college accepts this.
