Finished Magazine cover

 

This is my finished magazine cover. I am quite proud of how it turned out. I love the cover image as well as the colours I used. The layout is almost the same as my mock up. However I had to take the second cover line off as it would have blocked the girl at the back. The lesson I've learnt from this task was that I should take the photos vertically to fit the page, when editing I should watch out in case I re-size the image by accident which makes the cover photo very pixleated. I am hoping not to do the same mistake for my Music Magazine.

 

 

Why did I choose this image as the front cover?

I specifically chose this image as the front cover as  there was space behind Safa for the girl I edited on, I also like the way she's smiling and the way I added the grudge girl makes Safa look venerable. The background location is also very creepy even though it's been taken in the day light, the dark pillars makes the image more eerie. At first glace you notice my model smiling this is until you see what's behind her.

Why did I choose this color scheme?

The chose the appropriate color scheme of Navy, yellow/gold and light blue as they are the three main colors in the beaverwood badge. I also chose them because this is a school magazine and I wanted the colors to relate to the school.

What I don't like about my magazine cover?

The only thing I don't particularly like about my magazine is the fact that the cover image has been pixelated making it not as clear as it should be. I feel that if it wasn't pixelated, I would be more pleased with the outcome. However, I feel that it's a good time to make mistakes now than in my Music Magazine.
