First edit of my front page-
For my front page I used a template from Pages, I chose quite
a sophisticated template as I thought this would reflect my magazine well. I
continued to use this template but I changed the colours from green to blue as
I chose blue for my main colour. But after working on my front cover I decided
that I didn't actually like the template. The font didn't suit the target
audience, it was too formal. So I adjusted the font but then the font and the
whole look just didn't work. There were too many blank spaces on my front page,
this was making it look very amateur. So I researched some more about school
magazines and decided that my magazine needed to suit my audience. I added a
border around the page, just this simple adjustment changed the whole look of
my magazine. I am very happy with the change of my front cover, it is more
appropriate and overall just looks much more professional.
Final edit of my front cover
Final edit of my contents page
Luckily I started my contents page after i decided to change the whole look of my magazine. This made it very easy to create my contents page. I used a gradient fill for the background, it turns from a darker blue at the bottom to a lighter blue at the top, this just makes it a little more interesting. I also used an online font generator to create the font for 'Pop Quiz! Page 11', i chose to keep the same blue all the way through for consistently. I like this feature because i think it reflects what a real school magazine would have. The pictures i used had a small tag line which should interest the reader to read the full article. I think overall my contents page works well within my school magazine.
