PLANNING: Evaluation of Final Design 8

This is my chosen design for my magazine. I like the font and size of font because it stands out and is not too small for the reader. I have chosen red for the shadow of the text as this was one of my chosen colours that represented rock music. The title I am very happy with because the colours and background compliment each other to represent rock music but also looks grown up at the same time. It adds an edge to the magazine as it has a busy background and colours that are strong and appealing to the audience I am basing it on (teenagers to young adults).
The layout I have kept simple because I didn’t want to clog up information at the front with different shapes and font. Also I wanted it to be the opposite of the title making the layout almost sophisticated.
Features I have included on the front are:
· A interview with my made up band “SCAR” which I have helped stand out with a white line through it representing a scar
· A CD cover of The Killer’s new album, which I have signed using Paint programme, making it look like a signed copy.
The background will be of “SCAR”, where I will get my friend to dress up and I will photograph her specifically for the front cover. I will then edit it and make it black and white which, I think, will represent Rock music. If I do, I will have to change the font to white so this too stands out; this is also why I have put a red shadow behind the writing to help add more visual effect. I will make sure none of the writing over laps the face of the woman in the background.
I have included the issue number and date at the top and bar code and price at the bottom out of the way so it’s not to get in the way of features or pictures.
