13- Final Magazine

Final Magazine

 

 

This is my final magazine cover that I have created from my mock up along with comments from my focus group. One of the more noticable things I have changed is the title- I decided I didn't want my title to have too many letters in, as having the word "Immortal" meant the letters had to be much smaller than I'd like.  With the word "Decode" however, I could put space between the letters and make the font bigger. I decided to neaten up the plugs by keeping to one colour (This colour forms the house style) I tried to keep it black white and red as this is the colour scheme I have throughout. 

 For the contents page, I wanted to continue to fit in with the house style of the magazine, by keeping the same font and colour. I wanted to make it as visual as possible, by adding lots of photos and not leaving any gaps or blank spaces. I added the word "Decode" to the contents page as I thought this was a good way to fit in with the house style. I added a poster feature, because I noticed that in my research the majority of magazines had this.



This is the double page spread for my magazine. I again kept with the house style by keeping it red, black and white. I also used the same font for the title and the article. I wanted to try and create a light look for the article, by using a bright background to contrast the black bar across the top. The outfit that my model reflects this, as she is wearing light jeans contrasted with black shoes, and then the red jumper. The lack of direct mode of address works well here as it shows her as looking up, as in she is looking up about how she "stepped up". I wanted to illustrate her power in the photo subtly, and i did this by having her look away and look more serious.
