Mock-up contents page

Contents Page.

This is a mock-up of my contents page. I will separate the information in two different triangles, this adds not only to the ascetic look of the page but also makes the information clearer to the reader. I continued with the blue and white theme to add continuity to the magazine. I will put the main article of the magazine in the first triangle, and then the other minor articles, information, and pages in the other. I Will accompany both with relevant and suitable images. Page numbers will also be included by each article making 'easy reading' for the reader.

Preliminary Task Final Front Cover.

This is my final front cover for my Student College Magazine. The Master head is bold in a decorative font make a striking first impression. The name of my magazine I have settled on is SDC - Sussex Downs College, which accompanied with the tag line 'essential for ever student' explains exactly what the magazine is about. The other fonts on the magazine are a plain Arial font which is easy to instantly read and a more detailed font underneath. I have kept to one font for my title and then two different fonts for the text on the page to avoid confusion.

I have also followed the theme of blue and white, which resembles a sailor theme, relating to the main sells. The photo I have used the model is wearing a black t-shirt; on my main task I would consider dressing the model fitting to the theme of my magazine e.g. In a sailors or pirates outfit to really invoke the theme.

I have also included the price, issue number, bar code and date all in the top right corner. Other improvements I would make to my main task by evaluating my preliminary task would be:

More text, images, boxes on the page to make the magazine look full of articles.

• Include large numbers like '50' or '100' would also make the articles look full but would be eye catching.
  
• The background of my magazine should be brighter, more enthusiastic to employ the Pop theme. It would also be targeted at younger children so the brighter the colours the more appealing it would look- appose to a dull grey background.


• Like I have already mentioned, dress the people in my image fitting to the theme of the magazine issue.

To summarise all of the above points - inject more fun, excitement and enthusiasm through more interesting colours and images. And more information on the front page to make the magazine look full of gripping articles.
