Over the past two days in my media class i have been working on many things with my partner, we are still yet to decide what the name of our school magazine but we have made to mock ups of our front cover, Becky did one and i did the other. We are yet to decide what mock up of the magazine we are going to use but i think we will combined both of our mock ups to create a really good magazine front cover so that way both of our ideas are collaborated into it. As well as discussing what our magazine was going to look like we also went to go see Miss Young to see if she was available to take a photo, unfortunately she was in a meeting so we haven't got a photo of her and her amazing clothes so i don't think we will be using her on our magazine as we haven't had a chance to take a photograph.
The main thing that i have done as well as the mock up of the magazine front cover, is i have created a thought web of all the things that both me and Becky have discussed and also my ideas of what could be on the magazine. The aim of my thought web it to collect all the thoughts that i have on the magazine and put them onto that thought web so then they can be further discussed with Becky and we can use some of them in our magazine front cover. She will also be doing her own thought web so with both of our thought webs we will be able to join some of our ideas and rule out what were not going to put on the magazine.
This is my thought web:
On my thought web i have included the story's, masthead/subheading, colours, images, text types. With my thought web i have added a load of ideas that could be put into our magazine, some of those ideas me and my partner have decided on together and are the final decision but the others are just ideas that i thought could work well on the magazine.
This is my mock up of the magazine front cover. i put the masthead at the top as i think it would stand out better there than it would anywhere else on the page. I also used left thirds in my mock up as when a magazine is sat on a shelf the left side is the side that a person will see first. I thought that having a photo then text on the left thirds would be a good idea as then we could write a tiny amount about how the photo and the article that would be inside. Having cover lines and puffs on the magazine front cover would be more effective as it would give you random bursts of information on the magazine and whats inside. Cover lines are ideal for longer sentences or quotes that you might want to put in your magazine as for puff there like bold, small sentences that can attract a viewers eye to the magazine as its sort and simple yet bold and stands out well. i think that these would be good to use on our magazine as they give you a tiny insight as to whats inside as well as making you more interested in the magazine cover. As well as that it also makes it look nice. I put the main image at the side of the page as i thought that it would look better and stand out more if the main image was larger but to one side of the magazine cover.
