The print piece...
Front cover of my magazine ----------->
The title of the magazine is chewvalley mag, i called it this because it has to be somthing for the school to use its name to show it is from the school and it is about the school.
The colours i chose in the magazine for this magazine black, white, red and green. i chose these colours because it is the colours of the school badge simple and basic it reprsents the school also with the chewvalley badge.I used on the front cover simple shapes to make it stand out and effective. bright colours catch your eye. At the bottom of the magazine (the writing in white at the bottom in black box) i chose that because so it draws your attention what also is in the magazine.
The fonts used on the front cover (the title) is bold colour it stands out on the magazine cause of its shadows. i chose shadows because its cartoony and different on a magazine so it looks unique. The font used to for the lead article in the middle of the front cover i put it big to show the main event happening like on all magazines and the font i chose to put it in was 28 days later, i chose this because it is breaking up so i thought that getting demolished it would get to you a shock so it would make you read the magazine. The choice of my writing cover lines and pull quotes is basic and simple its called SV basic manual. They are different sizes because i make it look like thoughts on a page what people are thinking.
I think my magazine doesnt really look like a magizine but it does have some of the featuers of a magazien such as front image, text title, headlines etc. In another way it looks like a poster bold colours stands out but the colours are to bright the ones i chose so it hasnt quite worked.the audience i aimed my product at was all of the school year 7 - 13s ad also parents who are intersted in the school like whats going on.
The school getting destoryed would be aimed at the older part so parents would want to know what is going on and seeing for there self.i have learnt to use paint.net better than i newst, i was thinking of useijng photoshop but i thought ill use a simpler software for this project if i do magazines in the final product i think ill use photoshop cause its more to do and can make it more effective and look better.
<------ The chew valley contents
Simple and effective i think making it simalr to the front cover makes it look better it is refering to the front so its not changing the subject or event.Simple colours same as front cover and also same picture as the front to show that we havent forgotten about the school. different size fronts showing that things are more important than others. mainly to catch your eye.
A few things i missed on this contents page. I realised when i finished theres no numbers on the contents page so you have to guess the pages.
In the final peice i do it ill make sure i make all these improvements such as layout and colours used in this magazine. The simplest things can be the most effective.
