Prelim Task

For the prelim task we had to design a front cover for a school magazine and do an outline of a contents page.

 
We wanted to keep it quite simple but still colourful to catch someones attention so we went for a similar colour scheme to the school uniform of the school we designed the magazine for. We had a few hints of what's inside around the image to interest readers and to persuade them to buy the magazine. It was important for the image we took to have a plain background so it didn't look messy as we wanted to magazine to look professional. We also wanted the writing around the edge to be clear and easy to read which is another reason we wanted a clear background. We wanted the price, date and issue number to all be discrete but still readable. We also wanted the bar code to not be in the way of anything so we put it in the corner where it wouldn't cover anything up.
