Preliminary Task - contents and front cover

This is my final front cover for my preliminary task. Choosing an appropriate colour scheme took me quite some time to do. However, I used red and chose colours from the image of the girl wearing the shirt which shows enables my magazine to flow. The blue star matches with the colour of the shirt with the image of the guy which also enables it to flow. By putting the line underneath my title, it makes it stand out. Without out, it would look as if it is floating. I feel as if it was unnecessary using the page number below each of  the story lines. Also, looking at it now, I would've been better if I cropped the image out which would give me more space for text as it looks quite plain. Overall, I happy with my end result, but I believe there was room for improvement if I had enough time.










I didnt keep consistency through out which made my magazine look unprofessional. I tried to make my pictures not float by adding a boarder around it which made it stand out much more. However, the line underneath the 'contents' shouldn't of have been faded out as it loses the boldness of the title. I took more pictures for my contents page rather than my front cover which was a problem. This is because I could choose from much more in contents page than in my front cover which didnt give me much of a variety. The starting numbers are not in line and I should've used to a ruler to measure everything out.
