Preliminary Task

In this magazine cover they have structured it a little different to the standard magazine cover. For example the title is in front of the picture drawing attention to the title more than the picture. This takes the effect away from the story that will be featured in this magazine. The subheadings on the cover are also structured differently as they are in the center of the page instead of being listed down the side. This shows that the magazine is more armature and may not be as successful as other magazines.

In this cover the black and lime green contrasting really highlights the titles drawing attention to them. The lime green colouring is themed to the title of the magazine. The picture is in front of the title of the magazine to draw attention to the picture, not the title. The dark background also highlights the picture and makes the font lighter, reducing the attention from the unfilled space, it makes the cover seem like it is full but tidy at the same time. The more important the text the larger it is, The title being the largest shortly followed by the main story of the magazine, this main story will be related to the image on the cover of the magazine.

The cover of this magazine is not as professional as the second one but it is created with some effort and talent. It takes after the more traditional magazine covers by putting the picture in front of the title to show that the main story of this magazine is about the picture. The colour scheme matches the picture also, red title matches the red shirt the female in the picture is wearing. The blue subheadings match the match the shorts that the female is wearing. this creates a colour theme that they can use for the rest of the magazine, it adds a professional touch to the magazine. The picture of the female is not edited but given depth of Field by making the background blurred luring attention towards the main part of the picture not anything else.

over all i believe this looks like a professional magazine but does lack in some touches that would complete it.
