2. F R O N T C O V E R COLOUR does not seem to fit in with the
scheme, however using different colours can make the front page
more eye catching and draw attention when desired. FONT is
relatively hard to read. It is not sophisticated and does not match
the font of the quotation marks, which makes it look odd. However
using different fonts can make the page more interesting. Does not
target a particular AUDIENCE. The feature article photo is
appropriate and suits the requirements however not specific. What
it is lacking: A sophisticated puff Fillers House style Specific
tone Mode of address To much NEGATIVE SPACE, this can be avoided by
using fillers
3. BLAND AND EMPTY looking background, a lot of negative space,
which can make the overall page uninteresting. Hard to follow, the
page seems to be quite chaotic TYPOGRAPHY is not at all varied, it
can seem boring and dull and not very imaginative. A varied COLOUR
SCHEME can make the page seem busy and possibly hard to follow or
alternatively make it eye-catching. What it is lacking: Fillers
House style Specific tone Mode of address Sell A specific
standfirst Flush left/right Photograph FUSH LEFT/RIGHT is not
considered, which can impact how visually interesting the page is
for the reader. Very little information.
4. T O O L S FRONT COVER CONTENTS RECTANGLE TOOL I found myself
using the shape tool for boxes a lot when constructing my contents
page. HORIZONTAL TYPE TOOL This was handy to use during this
exercise with regards to taking into consideration the typography.
I used it frequently throughout. All my text was produced using
this tool. It allowed me to edit font style, font size and colour.
HORIZONTAL TYPE TOOL This text tool enabled me to quickly add text
to my pages. MOVE TOOL I used this to move about the shapes and the
text that built up my front cover. PAINT BUCKET TOOL This tool
aloud me to colour the shapes that I put the page numbers in on my
contents page. SET FOREGROUND COLOUR I used this to colour the
shapes in which I incorporated for my page numbers. MAGNETIC LASSO
I did not use this during the making of my front page, however I
could use it if I wanted to specifically or precisely crop a
section of my feature article photo.
5. Improvements My magazine front cover and contents page could
have done with: A sophisticated puff Fillers House style Specific
tone Mode of address Fillers Sell A specific stand first Flush
left/right Photographs Use of the magnetic lasso and overall more
in depth and intricate use of tools. A quirky colour scheme Maybe
an edited feature article photo
