2. Front cover
My magazine cover was successful in terms of conforming to the drawn plans
which I created and did not differ in terms of the final outcome, the plans
outlined where each element of the page would go, and I have followed this as a
guide throughout, I have placed the image, the sub-articles, main title and barcode
which can be seen clearly drawn out on the plans, I have executed the plan
effectively . I believe the drawn out plans did not require any major changes, this is
because it was positioned and located in appropriate places, it followed the
conventions of existing magazines. The only minor tweak which was slightly
different is the “katrina kaif” was written in smaller letters, I decided to expand this
to a larger size, as this would make it clearer for the viewer and make the front
cover stand out even more. I did not need to make any other adjustments to my
front cover, as all the elements on the drawn out plans where pretty much exact
3. As you can see
the title is
positioned
centrally at the
top of the
page, as this
was my original
plans
The barcode required
slightly changing as it
was a bit up the page
and I adjusted by
moving it down
The sub-articles
on both sides of
the page are also
according to my
original plans, this
was I expected it
to be
I wanted to make
the model the
main focus and I
believe I am
successful in
doing so as the
sub-articles are
either aligned to
the left or the
right
4. Contents page
I will comment on the contents page and whether my final outcome differed
from my original hand drawn plans. The element which was different was
the actual ‘contents’ title, originally I located it in the middle as I thought it
would be more clearer to see, however on second thoughts I changed it and
placed it aligned to the left,this was mainly because it looked more attractive
when it was placed on the left. Apart from this element, I stuck to the
original plans which I had created by placing the features on the left hand
side of the page, as well as whats in the magazine, to make the contents
page I also added an image which I situated on the top right hand side of the
page, this again is found in the original plans, I also placed ‘Lomattic special’
on the right hand bottom corner to ensure that the content page has been
used effectively.
5. As you can see I
have placed the
‘contents title
towards the left of
the page
The featuring articles
and numbers where
according to my
drawn plans, so I did
not change or add
anything
Lomattic special is
placed in the
bottom corner and
has a black box
which makes it look
consistent and
professional
6. Double page spread
I will now talk about the how I went about developing my double page
spread, the first component which differed from my original plans was the
quote which I ended up locating it in the left hand page, at first I thought it
would look more appropriate in the bottom corner, however this element has to
stand out as it is an inspirational quote, within my plans I had the right hand
side which consisted of an image, this element was originally in my drawn plans
so I did not need to change this, I wanted the image to fill one whole page
because I wanted the viewers to be inspired and reflect on the models
career, the interview is another element which I decided to input into my
double page spread, but the red and black combination was not in my original
plans, so I added to make sure that the viewer does not get confused on which
is the question and the answer.
7. As you can see I have
located the quote
centrally on the left
hand side of the page,
this ensures that it can
be seen easily
The interview itself is
written in two different
colours, this separates them
from the question and
answer
The main image takes
up the space on the
right hand side of the
page, this was the
original plans.
