FINAL CONTENTS


This is my final contents page. I chose to use a blue colour scheme to relate to the college's blue and green scheme.
I chose to use a photo I had used on my front cover, this is so both pages are related in some way, I also added a 'rounded' rectangle. I adjusted the opacity and so it was a lot more subtle and blended with the page better. 
On both my front cover and contents page, I have used the font 'Helvetica' for smaller texts as it's a simple and professional font. 

FRONT COVER

This is my final copy of my front cover, I added colour and used the gradient tool to produce my background colour scheme. 
I used white text as this was the colour that showed up best on my chosen images and background. I added the logo I created using Adobe Illustrator to produce this final cover. 

BEGINNING MY FRONT COVER


When beginning my front cover, I chose 4 photographs, I then used the 'quick select' tool and cut the figures out, placing them onto one file, overlapping and applying the 'poster edges' filter.

ASMPE: What images/colour would you use on the contents page?

On my contents page, I would use clear, bold colours that appeal to the teenager/young adult ages (both girls and boys) and this would change for each magazine. The images I would use would be images of students, or images of the area of interest.

ASMPE: What are the dimensions of the cover?

Rather than choosing a unique dimension for my cover, I will simply produce an A4 cover as I believe that this is professional and appealing.

ASMPE: How frequently would it be published?

My magazine would be published monthly.

ASMPE: What kind of image do you expect to put on the front cover and how will you go about getting this image?

The image I use, will be a more social image rather than one I have taken on the college grounds. I will take a photo outside of college and will focus more on the area visited rather than the students. To do this I will visit a few local entertainment areas and take some photos.

ASMPE: When in the year would it be published?

This magazine would be published in summer, winter and on big public holidays, such as: Summer holidays, Halloween, Easter, Christmas, Half terms. 

ASMPE: What are your ideas for taglines?

As of yet, I am not completely sure of what ideas I find most appealing for taglines or whether I intend to use any. I am keen on using short taglines, but taglines that are appealing to my audience.

ASMPE: What fonts do you want to use?

For my magazine cover/front page, I will be using the font 'Helvetica'. I have chosen this as Helvetica font is very simple, yet bold and looks instantly professional when placed on a public advertisement/covers of magazines. I will be using Helvetica mainly across my school/college front cover.

ASMPE: What title have you decided on and why?

I have decided to use the title 'Get Out', I have chosen this as it's very simple and memorable, and also relates to my subject of focus for this magazine.
