Flat Plan of my front page


I have drawn how the front cover of my magazine will be designed .The masthead of the magazine is located at the top of the page, and is in a clear bold font that is easy to read and stands out from the other text on the page because it is larger. I have named my magazine " SDC weekly" because it is a clear name which explains the purpose of the magazine .

The main flash is located just under the masthead and is in a slightly larger and bolder font then the rest of the font in the other sells so that the reader is drawn to it first. The main sells are located at the side of the large central image with the bar code just under the sells.



In the right hand corner of the page there is a sell indicating a puzzle page in the magazine. In the opposite corner of the page is the barcode, where it is easy to see and yet does not detract from the other information on the cover. The sells are placed in text boxes becuase it gives the page clear cut lines and makes it look neat.

As Media Prelimiary Task

I am writing this blog to record the progress of my preliminary coursework task for media. This task will involve designing a front cover for the college magazine. I will be taking my own photographs for the cover and it will be produced on Adode InDesign. The main photo used on the front cover must be a medium close up . Also the page must include a masthead and appropriate text. Before producing this I will design a basic mock up of a contents page, but this does not have to include detailed text or images.
