final cover

Magazine layout

We have chosen the second layout for our final design as it look less cluttered and busy, this also means that the image in the middle can spread across the whole page without loads of writing over it making it look confusing. 

Experimenting with my logo

We have chosen the last logo for our final design. we experimented with shadows to make it look more professional but we decided that the logo didn't look as good with too much shadow so I changed the logo to make it look more subtle.

I have chosen to use Number 7, 'tahoma' because its looks neat and sophisticated as well as being easy to read and is very clear. I think this will suit my magazine because it is plain and simple. 

Magazine analysis

Here is a sport magazine aimed at teenagers interested in football, featuring David Beckham, a well known footballer kicking a football on the red carpet. All of the titles are written in capitals in serif and so there are no ascenders and descenders, this makes the magazine look more bold and masculine. The image of david beckham has ben used as a background with the captions printed on top, the image is mostly in red and white whichs matches the masthead

.

The main title of the magazine is 'xbox 360'. the fact that the magazine is called xbox 360 suggests straight away that it is about xbox gaming. The image on the magazine is dark, this connotes that the game is also dark and dreary, the use of weapons suggests that possibly aimed at an older target audience. All the main text on this front cover is in white so it's easy to read against the darker background, the title itself is written in sans serif  where as the caption is written in serif, the title is all in capitals and larger than all the other texts, this makes the magazine look more neat and professional as there are no ascenders of descenders. There is only one caption which identifies the main image behind it. 

Here is a magazine aimed at male teenagers, Bold colours have been used such as white and black, this connotes masculinity and strentgh to attract the male audience. The word 'Free' is in written in a bold clear font and is larger than the text underneith, this means that it is easier to notice as some people might buy that magazine for the free gifts. One of the main selling points for this magazine would be The band 'Avenged Sevenfold' in the background and below is the name of the band written in bold underneith. The main colour Of the fonts are white and red, this is so it stands out from the black background. 'Kerrang' is written in black, this is so it stand out from the white banner. 

The title of this magazine is 'Cozmo Girl' this suggests that the magazine is aimed at teenage girls, the image in the background supports this. The word 'girl' is written in a different font than the word 'cosmo' which is written in black. the red font stands out from the black, which puts emphisis on the word girl.
