evaluation

for my project, i was given the task of creating a front cover for a college magazine.
my first task was to research. for this project i had to research many things like the codes and conventions for both the front cover and a context page, the difference between a college magazine and a fashion magazine and i created a mood board for inspiration of the college. i was told that i would have to create a blog and this would be where all my work would be shown.
with this research i was able to start my planning. firstly i had to create hard copies of a plan for the front cover and the context page. this helped with arranging my magazine.
the picture i used was a student that agreed to be on my front cover. in the photo i took, it seems like he is rather shocked or excited to see something which goes great with the main cover story. the disadvantage for this photo is that it was taken with a bad choise of camera, so now the photo seems to be filled with grainness.
the font for the main cover story is similar to the masthead, the difference i used was the type of font. for the main cover story, the font seems more handwritten and for me, goes well with the "secret".
the price for this magazine came to an conclusion of both college and the price of a normal magazine. at a estimate of a normal fashion magazine that i have studied is £3 but college magazines are normally free. thats hwo i came up with the price of £1.20.
overall, the outcome of my magazine has come out better than i thought, i wished the photo could of come out better but it also matches the excitment that i hope the audience will notice.
