Front Cover Draft

The front cover planning followed a simplistic design. I knew what i wanted to have and therefore was allowed to design a plan nearly as accurate as my final piece. I knew i needed to have the masthead at the top center of the page, this added boldness and was easily viewable and recognisable. I wanted to have two split images instead of one to show what the school was about, having just one say for example the school only showed the architecture of the building. I wanted to express what the school was about through a front cover image. I wanted to focus on the sport side of the college so i knew it was going to be a cricketer. I wanted this to be the secondary image as i felt it was important to have the college embelem as the main image.







Contents Page Draft

With the contents page i wanted to mix things up abit and add abit of authenticity to my project (some house style). I planned to have 'Contents' spread down the left hand side of the page. This allowed me to use the rest of the space for a background picture that was visible through the text. If i were to have the 'Contents' written on the top this wouldn't allow me with as much freedom across the page as it takes up more space. I wanted to have a backroung image with text over as it would be different as apose to a bold colour backround that is usually used on contents pages. Most contents pages are full of text stating where each feature and articles are. This i thought made them too cramped and i wanted to take an opposite approach to this. I only wanted to state a few main features that were the highlight of the magazine. This will make the contents page more attractive and less cramped and i feel will bring out the smart and sophisticated appearence of the magazine, appealing it to my specific type of audience.
