Final production of front cover and contents page - Preliminary Task

 After creating the sketches for my Front cover and contents pages I had to create them. I tried to follow my original plans but there where a few aspects that I had to change. Below is my final product with the sketch underneath:



















Whilst creating my front cover, the aspects that I changed from my plan were as follows:
  • Where my issue number was placed changed-due to the colouring of the mise-en-scene
  • There I positioned my tag line changed-Again, due to the colours of the mise-en-scene
  • I made one of my cover stories anchor text because my original plans did not follow the codes and conventions of magazine front covers because I had no anchor text.
  • The shape around the price bubble was more suitable and 'professional looking' with a circle shape instead of a spiked shape
  • I repositioned where abouts my cover lines where positioned due to the mise-en-scene
  • I added colour to my final product because although I did not plan colour in my sketch, I had already chosen a colour scheme of blue shades earlier in my planning

And here is the Final product and sketch of my contents page:















Whilst creating my contents page, the aspects that I changed from my plan were:
  • I did not stretch my title and subheading of 'contents' all the way to the sides of the page
  • I added an image of my front cover to the top right hand corner of teh contents page
  • I left more spaces in between my main image and titles/headings which shown background colour
  • I moved my image of my ID Tag to the bottom of the page because when it came to creating my piece this is where it fitted better
  • I added colour to my final production, again-following my earlier plans with shades of blues
