Preliminary Task

This is my front cover and contents page, with brief annotations. I think the design looks cohesive as the font colours are the same in the front cover and in the contents page. The masthead, as well as the text is sans serif in both pages , making it easier to read. There is a colour scheme of yellow and red which is eye catching and consistent across the front cover and contents page. And also, the front cover  layout is circler which makes it unique and doesn't necessarily conform to the conventions of a magazine front cover , in regards to the purpose and target audience.

I have manipluated the images using Adobe Photoshop;

• The image on my front cover: I cut the image into a circle shape so it fits into the other alignments ,and then tinted the background with red. This helps to draw the consumers interest on the students'  in the foreground.
•  The image's on contents page: I  tinted the background with red and yellow considering my colour scheme. This made it look simple and cohesive.

I believe i could have improved on many aspects from this task. The page numbers and text on the contents page could have began from the same alignment, as it looks quite untidy. Also, the 'feature' is not needed; its redundant.
