Preliminary task Contents page Ideas

This contents page from a magazine about the Hollywood lifestyle is very consistent in using the colour red, gold, black & white, the repetition shows professionalism. the imagine has been put on the right showing a woman standing and the actually contents is the same lengths as her. The Gold title gives it Independence away from everything else, it makes it stick out and seem to be the important part and catches the readers eye.

This magazine is similar to the one above by using the consistent colours of black & white. the title has been split into 3 separate lines, this is very eye catching as it almost seems as a puzzle so automatically pushes the reader to read it. the image is of a woman, famous hip hop singer Ciara, lying down with her legs up, this is a sexual image used to target fashion icons. the actual contents is in small on the right hand side in black, so it seems at the importance of this contents page is not the information it holds, but the image of a famous woman.

This magazine contents page is very dull and seemingly boring by using the dull colours black, grey and white, but a small amount of red has also been used which is very eye-catching. It is of a red heart being held by another person, which appears to be a woman’s arm, holding the red heart above Kanye west heart, this could be a metaphor for his heart being held or stolen by someone else. The contents information is on the right of the page in very short font, so we immediately see that the actual information is not as important as the picture of the artist Kanye West. The mast-head “contents” has been split up into 3 separate lines almost making it 3 separate words, this is very eye catching and almost a puzzle so it could be a bit entertaining.

Preliminary Front Cover

The format of my magazine is going to be simular to magazine i have already looked up. i am going to put the master-head at the centre top with the Date & Price abouve it. then in the centre of the magazine i am going to use my image as the starting strucute and put my Cover lines around it on both the left a\nd right hand side of it. the barcode is going to be at the bottom right of the page so it does not ruin the image of the magazine but is still in plain site.

This is my magazine cover for the me college magazine, the colour scheme i have chosen to use is black as the back ground and orange and white for the coverlines. i have included the price on the bottom right of the page so it is on the page but does not stand out with everything else.

This is my contents page for the preliminary task, i have carried on with the white and orange colour scheme. i have inserted a banner in the title because it relates to college as you have college banners. Then the information is down the middle in the bottom, i have not included an image because i would prefer that the contents page be more about the information that it holds in this magainze rather than what the picture shows.

Preliminary Task

The Preliminary task is to create a School/college front magazine cover and a contents page. the front page must have a photograph of a student in a medium close up (mid shot), pieces of text and an appropriate title.

This magazine cover shows us a good colour scheme of black, green and white, this is not only used in the text but we also see it int he imagine, which is a mid shot of a man wearing a white top with a black jacket. the cover also shows Cover lines which would attract the target audience such as "why we love blackberry". the blackberry is a very popular students phone because of its Black berry messenger applications where students can talk to each other online 24/7 for free

This magazine is showing simularities to the one abouve, but using opposite colours, instead of black we get the bright white and instead of a green we also se a bright orange, so this magazine is very bright with touches of light blue aswell, this will easily attract eyes. the mid shot of a man in a white outfit is a good technique used to blend it with the back ground and make the whole magazine come together as one. this magazine has also used another Apple inc. product, the IPAD, which is a very famouse product for students.
