The name of my magazine is ‘HGF’ I decided to place this at the top of the page in clear capital letters and in a bright purple colour so that it would stand out against the background and be easy to locate, I also did this because it is typical of most magazines that the masthead is located at the top. The font that I used was a youthful font that attracts my student audience. I tried to remain consistent in the use of font, and so kept it the same throughout. I did however; use a smaller size and different colours for the subheadings to make them stand out. I also used a drop shadow on the subheadings to add attention. The subheadings are arranged around the main image, this is to make them easy to read, and to also keep the attention on the image. I used bright coloured boxes behind the headings to make them stand out against the background, the text isn’t fitted inside the box, to relate to my audience and give a rebellious feel to it. The subheadings that I included on the front cover, are those that were asked for in my questionnaire.
To promote my magazine, I included beneath the masthead the fact that my magazine was new. I used an exclaimation mark to advertise and emphasis this point. The bright pink colour stands out against the blue background. The person on this magazine is making eye contact, this is conventional of magazines. I also included a date line and a barcode which are also conventional of magazines. The colour scheme that I used was purple, pink and blue which are bright colours, and should attract my audience.
If I was to change anything about my magazine cover, I would change the image. The lighting in this picture is not very good and so makes the magazine look unprofessional.
