For this task I made a front cover based on school and events happening around it, the task description was to create a magazine about school life and using pictures that were taken around the school. The first time taking pictures a fire alarm interrupted causing me to have to do another session taking pictures.From these pictures I chose a front cover as well as attempting to slightly edit it for the purpose of the front cover.
The Research
I have attached an image of the front cover that I created, for the purpose of a school magazine.
Conclusion
There are many things that I would improve on this front cover, this is useful for me to know as for my final product I will be able to ensure the same mistakes are not made. Some of these mistakes are the font size and width changes lacking consistency throughout the front cover, however due to them all being the same font ( which is a factor that will be the same for my final front cover) there is some flow to the cover. Another weakness with this front cover is the background is very busy and detracts from the main image of the two girls on the sofa, however I do like the effect of the faded background to help them stand out more. Another strength of the front cover is the use of direct eye contact from the girls to help connect to the audience and this is something I hope to replicate on my actual front cover. Something I would change from this front cover is the distance of the main image and would prefer a closer up image to connect even more with audiences and to make the person a key image drawing people in.
