College Magazine

The aim of this task was to create a college magazine front cover. I used three different college magazine front covers as my research and I'm satisfied with the outcome of my cover.

I used pieces of this magazine to help me create my front cover. The blue bar along the bottom i changed to yellow to draw the reader in. I aslo thought the dark, grey background made the blue in this magazine stand out more, so i assumed that it would make yellow stand out even more.

With this magazine, i thought that the bright colours made it look to crowded and complicated so i decided to keep colour to a mimum. However, i liked the way that the subtitles were larger than the original subtext so i used that to improve my front cover of my college magazine.

For my magazine to be appealing, i had to use bright colours but in moderation. i used yellow and red to contrast against a dark, but visible background and i used a dark blue in the places where the yellow or red would be washed out by the light colours in the background. Here is my finished college magazine front cover.
