This document discusses the design choices made for the layout and formatting of a magazine mockup. For the front cover, a bold font was used for the masthead and sell lines to make them stand out, while a clearer font was used for subtext. Pink and blue colors were selected to match common magazine styles. On the contents page, the same two fonts were carried over and layout elements like rectangles and splatters continued the color scheme. For the double page spread, questions were made pink to distinguish them from answers, and a pull quote matched the main title font to draw attention.

FRONT COVER
For the fontI chose to use ‘Full House’because itisaboldand easytoread font.Soby usingthisitwill standout
against other text on the front cover. So to make it stand out against the other pieces of text this specific font
style will onlybe usedonmastheadsor mainsell lines/titles.Inthese screenshotsitshowsthe orderthat I have
done thingsin.Idecidedtostartoff withthe mainsell line andmastheadbecause itthenallowedme tosee how
much space I had for the sell lines, sky line and barcode. The font that I used for the sub text is American

font styles.
I chose to use the colours of pink and blue because they are commonly found on pop magazines and the two
colours go well with each other. So as these two colours have beenused on the front cover it means that they
will be used throughout the magazine. For the blue I decided to make it brighter so that you are able to see it
overthe mainimage,thenIusedadark pinkforthe subheadingswhichcanbe seenoverthe mainimage.Onthe
text I added a black outline around the text which makes it clearer to the reader then if it didn’t.
Finally, for the Skyline I decidedto add a solid rectangle so that the text would be noticeable and easy to read.
For the rectangle I made it a pale pinkso that it blendsinslightlywiththe backgroundcolourand because with
the black text over the top it is easier to read than if I were to use a solid blue background.

Just like the subheadings I used the same font and colour
for the sell line titles.Thisisbecause theyare all sell lines
sotheydothe same jobastheyare tryingtoattractpeople
into buying the magazine. By making the text pink it is
noticeable tothe readerbecause itisoverthe mainimage
whichis blue alsobecause the textisnearto the mainsell
line and masthead I don’t want it looking to similar
because thenall of the textonthe frontcoverwill be blue.
Thenfor the small descriptionsof the sell linesImade the
text colour blue so that it the audience can see the
difference between the sell lines and description.

Most magazineshave the barcode onthe righthandside of the magazine sothat’swhyI
placedmine onthat particularside.Toput the barcode inI savedthe image so that I
was able toput it ontothe magazine asa separate layerwhichmeantthatI could move
it aroundeasier.The reasonwhyIput it ona pinkrectangle issothat the detailsaround
it will be cleartoread,I put the price by the barcode because itis a noticeable place on
where somebodywill lookforaprice if theyare goingto buy the product.

CONTENTS PAGE
For the subheadings the font I used was American Typewriter. The reason I used this font is because it is
the same font as the sell lines and I only want to use two different fonts throughout the magazine. When
writing the contents for my contents page I used the same font as it is a clear font to read, also because if
I were to use ‘full house’ the font won’t look as good small because it is a bold style font so it will be hard
to read. As descriptions are given on the contents page I made the subheadings larger and in capital letters
so that it is clear to the reader where one piece of information starts and ends. So for the descriptions of
what the page is about the text is smaller but still clear to read.
For the contents pageI opened up a new document
that was the same size as the front cover. Just like
the front cover I have a pale pink rectangle at the
top of the page. Then for the title I used the same
font as I did for the masthead on the front cover.
This is because in magazines the same font is used
for the masthead and the title. Then for the title it
is a similar size to the main sell line, which allows it
to standout against the other pieces of text.
