Recently the main focus of our AS Media lessons has been to create a magazine cover and a contents to go with it. First of all we had to a draft of covers on some A3 paper, and there were a few features that needed to be included on the article. First off the articles needed to be based on the school (Lutterworth College) so because of this we had to create articles and these articles had to be true, and actually be the talk of the school at the present time, as long as it wasn't offensive.
At first I stuggled to come up with a title and basis for my front cover, but I knew what other sub features I was going to use, as much there much interesting talk about, so the choices were narrow. We had to annotate everything to do with the cover, so I decided to call my magazine 'CULT' this was purely on the basis that I take an interest in british culteral films, and the british movement in culture, such as the Mods. I also decided to interview one of my classmates as put him on the front cover, and I advertised this as being an interview with a cult figure, so it kind of bode in with my title.
I then decided to use a sky blue colour as my background for my cover, and use 'ariel' as my font, and use the dark blue as the colour. Whilst the colour would be red for the title which would positioned at the top of the cover, so that if it was actually being sold in a shop then people would be able to see the title and what they are buying straight away. I then in a quicker period of time planned the contents, but we had to involve extra features to stretch the length of the magazine. So I included thing such as the weekly announcements. I also decided to do my contents darker shade to the magazine cover.
I now believed that I was ready to start photoshopping my magazine and bring it to life.
