Mock Ups.

Firstly we drafted a magazine front cover and contents page as everyone has to create their own magazine, instead of working in pairs. So I had to start over again, and create my own magazine which had to include a mast head, a mid shot photo, and cover lines. Our magazines had to be suitable for a school magazine, so I decided to make my magazine for the school drama club. I thought the name Genre would be a good idea, as that's something that people doing drama do a lot of work on, and it also meant that I could base the magazine around different genres of drama for different issues.

After a lot of thinking I decided to create my magazine around exam results, as it's the start of a new school year and many people are wondering what they can do with their exam grades, so I thought my magazine should include this to appeal to students who felt like they need some guidance in that area. For my 3 colours palette I chose blue, black and white first, but then I decided to change it to red, white and black as I felt these colours were more dramatic and bold. I also wanted my main photo to be of two people acting, but I had to change it to just one person, as that is what is specified. My cover lines are all about how to make your acting better, and how to add something different into your acting.

My contents page contains two photos, with numbers on to show which page the image relates to. The contents page will show all the different articles that I would include into the magazine, starting with the items mentioned on the front page at the top of the page. It will also include the magazines details and contact information. On my contents page I changed the layout so that the pictures had changed to different corners and the heading was to the left rather than in the center.

This is my front page, it includes my mast head, image, main feature and some of my cover lines. Plus everything is annotated to show the colour and font.

This is my contents page, each item (articles, images and headings) is annotated to show what colour and font it will be.
