This, was done very quickly. Just a simple and general plan of what i wanted to achieve for my contents page.

I made some initial sketches in paint because it saves time rather than having to draw them out by hand then scan them in. Originally, I only wanted a hand holding the phone, but i was informed that it should be a medium close up. I changed that, and also made the phone bigger, giving it more presence on the page. I stuck to the left hand side through out on all three because that is the edge where you are most likely to see when you are in a magazine store. I continued the rough lettering in the title through into the real thing.

Here is my front cover for my college magazine. I went for the technology literate audience with it, by including content such as Facebook, but i also kept it appropriate to students. I started of with just the main image (of Georgie), i made two layers include the same picture and put the one on top in black and white. I went on to rub out the top image to leave the figure in colour so it stands out more. The phone in the picture originally had a blank screen, so i super imposed the Facebook image on top of it. The horizontal bars going across the page were made by playing around with the hue and saturation of a plain block of colour. I have used the same font and colour scheme the whole way through to give the magazine some continuity, like a house theme. If i had the chance to work on this a bit more, i would add a date, issue number and price above the bar code, infact i only just realised that they were missing a second ago!

My contents page. I used the same horizontal bars, same font, same colour scheme. For continuity. Again, the content is generally college/technology related, i found it hard to think of stuff to put in it though, because its a very specialised magazine. But, to get around this i made the typeface bigger and more spaced out. I changed the hue of the pictures to match the gritty scratchy feel i had going on with the font, these pics wern't taken with any real thought, thus they look out of place. Next time i will make sure that the photo's are more relevant to the content listings!
