Drafts
- 1. I believe that the grey title bounces off the black background and helps pull the audience into the magazine. I think that the shape and elegance of this text helps the audience understand that BaysBall is also elegant. I also believe it adds a bit of atmosphere to the cover. Unfortunately this colour and style of text didn’t work as some of the pixels around the wording stayed white rather than transparent. which made it look scruffy and unprofessional.
- 2. As you can see I have kept the titles colour and font the same because I believe it looks professional. I have changed the fonts of these cover lines, but I think that they now look like a last minuet idea. Another problem with this draft is that there is four different font types, so therefore it doesn’t look like there is a theme or any consistancy to this cover. I have also changed the font of my main cover line as it didn’t look professional, but I now think that It doesn’t stand out as much as it should. I have added the schools name so that the reader knows that it relates to things in this school rather than others.
- 3. I have added a issue number and date, as I thought that it is an important convention of a magazine and that it is important for the reader to know what Issue magazine they’re reading. I have finally decided on one font for all three of the coverlines .this gives the front cover consistency and a theme. I have kept the colours the same. I believe that the red helps bring some life to the cover. I believe the black stands out well as it is placed on top of textbooks and a table. And the grey helps link the main cover line to the title.
