2. First idea
Well I used my
chosen colour
scheme and
incorporated into
the front cover on
the paint splatter
effect which I think
works well but
maybe a different
colour and angle of
the paint splatter.
I decided to use a
happy and cheerful
picture of a student
so it would make it
friendly for the target
audience to read
plus to give a good
impression of the
school
I went with a bigger
and bolder font than
I initially thought as it
made it seem to be
more young and
again an
appearance of
happiness plus to
make it standout
more from the page
Used the colour
scheme on the
sub headings also
used the sub
headings to give
an insight into
what is in the
school magazine
I used the white rectangle which I
distorted to make it look more
modern also to make the school
magazine name stand out
3. Second thoughtsI stuck with the
same picture as it’s
a happy photograph
and the colour
scheme
I decided to
change the font
this time as I
thought the font
before was a bit
child like and
wouldn’t really
appeal to my target
audience but then I
saw and used this
font and it seemed
more modern and
sophisticated but
also still promotes
creativity.
I also changed the
colour of the paint
splatter as it suited the
background colour
better. Also changed the
direction of the splatter
to make it different from
other magazines and it
come up from the
photograph I thought
but it still never covers
the happy face
Also I found more
space with the layout
changing of the text I
was able to add
more.
Also that I decided to put the
schools slogan underneath the
magazine title. Plus that the title
of the magazine and slogan are
more together and compact
which I personally think looks
smarter and better than before.
4. Final thoughtsAfter my other two
mock ups of my
magazine I again
applied more
changes.
The
subheadings
are instead all
over the place
in a neat order
at the side of
the photograph
as I didn’t want
to cover the
face as it
promotes a
good idea
about the
school and its
students.
The paint splatter is
again I changed the
angle and decided to
go from the right
hand side as it looks
more modern and
maybe would appeal
more to my target
market and the paint
splatter also doesn’t
cover the face of the
student.
Also I have moved
the photograph
more over to right
as moving the text
over created more
space for my
photograph , so I
decided to move it
over as to make it
look like there was
a lot of space.All of the text and even the picture standout
from the background
The paint splatter also makes
the photograph stand out, also
the title of the magazine stands
out its makes it look modern,
smart.

6. First ThoughtsWell I first thought about what
would link the two pages
together my front cover and
contents and I thought about
using the orange background
rectangle as it makes the title
stand out and I think it works
the same on the contents
page.
I again decided to go
for cheerful images
of the school
students as it gives a
good and happy
message about
everything there is in
the school.
I tried to get the
students to pose
doing something
or in different
parts of the
school.
Then I again
thought about
linking the
pages together
so I decided to
put more paint
splatter around
the images
almost frame
like and around
the shapes that
contain the page
numbers
I also tried to get pictures of male
and female to appeal to both sexes
and also to show that the school is
for both sexes.
I also tried to distort one of
the frames to show two
different sides of the school
as its formal and confiscated
firstly but its also creative
and different.
The font I decided firstly on
was to try and get something
formal and script but also to
be creative, and so the
students are able to read it.
I also tried to make the layout
different tried to make it exciting
for the students.
7. Second thoughtsI decided to
change the layout
of the page and
change the
photographs.
I also changed
the font as on
one hand its
formal but also
very creative
and very
different which
I thought would
best represent
the schools
image plus
would appeal
to the target
market of
students.
I got rid of the paint
splatter frames and
just had a plain
background as so
the photographs
blend in together
but also to show
students doing
things and the
school uniform.
But I kept the
orange rectangle
and the paint
splatter shapes
to keep the
pages linked and
also follow the
chosen colour
scheme.
8. Final thoughts
I decided to go back
to my first thoughts
with the layout and
the paint splatter
frames.
I thought the
layout was better
as it was
different and
makes the read
look more at the
page, but this
time with the
frames I decided
not to go with the
filled out
background of
white just the
white paint
splatter which
looks better and
different.
I again used the
same shapes
and title with the
orange rectangle
shape as its
keeping the two
pages linked
together.
I decided to go
with these
photographs as
one shows happy,
cheerful students
and showing both
sets of
photographs doing
something school
related.
