4. I made the decision to
redo my initial designs
as I felt I could
complete the initial
designs to a better
standard and I wasn’t
fully satisfied by my
initial designs. The
new initial designs are
an improvement to my
old initial designs and
these initial designs
are the ones I will be
using for the final
design of my Magazine
Front Cover, Content
Page and Double
Spread Article.

18. Shot type – I have
chosen a medium
shot as this will
show my readers the
background but it I
also close enough to
tell the readers what
the magazine is
about.
Pose – the model
used in this photo is
using a pose to show
the readers what the
topic of the
magazine is. The
model is posing in a
comfortable and
casual way to make
the magazine feel
more approaching
and welcoming
towards my audience
Styling – the model
is not wearing a top
to show my readers
that the magazine is
about fitness. You
can see the models
muscles which is to
make the image
relevant to the topic.
Subject – the
purpose of the main
image is to engage
in contact with
teenage boys who
have an interest in
fitness. Readers may
be attracted to this
main image as there
will be a new face on
a front cover which
may interest the
readers into who the
model is.

19. I have chosen
this image to
be the largest
image on the
content page
because I feel
that it will
engage in
contact with
the readers as
it will show the
readers what
equipment can
be used when
working out.
I have chosen this image because it will tell my audience
what work outs can be completed to lose weight, gain
muscle and gain abs when they don’t have access to a gym.
I have chosen
this image for
my content page
because it will
my readers an
idea of what sort
of food they
should be eating
when on a diet
and it also tells
my readers what
foods they are
able to enjoy in
their daily lives.

20. I have chosen
this image to
be the largest
image on the
double spread
article because
it shows my
readers the
weight loss
progress of my
magazine
model and this
will hopefully
motivate my
readers to work
harder at
achieving their
desired goal. It
also shows how
hard my model
worked at
losing weight.
I have chosen
this image
because it also
shows the
progress the
teenage boy
made in 1 year.
I also chose
this image
because it is
interesting and
it may motivate
my readers to
work harder on
losing weight.
I have chosen this image to be on my double spread
article because it shows my audience what sort of
meals they should be eating while going through
the process of losing weight.

22. The right side of the
Front Cover looks
empty as it not
contain as much ad
the left side of the
Front Cover.

23. This draft now has
more information
which is an
improvement from
the first draft of the
Front Cover. The text
below the Article
Title: FLAB 2 ABS
seems too plain
which will be
improved for the
final design. I will
also add some text in
between the 2 words
used as the Magazine
heading.

24. I chose to make the
masthead a large red
font in order to grab
the readers attention
immediately and to
make the Front Cover
stand out more.
The main image on
my Front Cover is a
medium close up of a
typical teenage boy.
This is to show my
readers who my target
audience is: teen
boys. The model is
doing a pose which is
to make the magazine
feel more comforting
and welcoming
towards my audience.
Instead of including a
barcode on my Front
Cover I included the
price below the
masthead to show my
readers what the price
of the magazine is.
The colour scheme is
mainly bright colours
to make the magazine
more lively towards
my audience. This is
also to make the Front
Cover stand out more
and to make it more
appealing to the eye.
The bright colours
used will make the
Magazine more
welcoming.
The article headings
are around the image
in order to show my
audience that the
main focus is on the
main image.

26. In the first screenshot I started off
by selecting file and new and then
selecting a size A4 page with a
resolution of 300 dots per inch.
I then had to add a layer style of
text and I made sure it was bevel
and emboss with a stroke.
Next I duplicated the layer and
changed the text by using edit,
transform and scale. I then fit the
text into a desired position.

27. I then had to add a new layer and
select a colour. I swapped the layer
place and filled the colour into the
shape. I added a new shape and
selected Polygonal Lasool 2. I cut
out a triangular shape.
Next I duplicated the text layer and
resized it and fit it into position. I
then repeated this for a second text
line. In addition I changed the
colour of this text.
In this screenshot I used a brush
tool and added graphical lines to
divide the Content Page.

28. I then imported cropped pictures and
placed them into position. I also added
stroke outlines and added a round shape
for the page numbers. I then added the
page numbers and the article titles. I
placed these into the desired position.
In this screenshot I imported more
photos into the other side of the
content page and also placed the
page numbers.
I then added the article titles into
the desired position. I placed the
page numbers beside the article
titles. I then placed the names of
the article writers below the titles. I
also saved this as a JPEG.

29. I then added the release date of the
magazine onto the Content Page
and I also added a quote beside the
3 images on the left side of the
Content Page.
Next I saved the Content Page as
JPEG file and a Photoshop file. This
was my finished design.

30. The left section
seems too empty as
it does not have as
much as the right
section of the
Content Page. Also
the use of the colour
red is too much.

31. I have included a
variety of images to
tell my readers what
the articles further on
in the magazine are
about.
In the masthead of
the Content Page I
decided to include the
magazine name to
make it more
appealing to my
audience. It will
remind the readers
immediately who the
magazine is aimed at
and what the
magazine is about as
the masthead is the
first thing my
audience will read.
I also included the
article titles with a
page number to make
it easier for my
audience to navigate
through the
magazine. I also
included the names of
the article writers to
let my readers know
who owns the articles
they are reading.
I also used bright
colours on the
Content page to make
the magazine more
comforting and
inviting towards my
target audience. This
is also to make it less
dull and boring for my
readers.

33. The text of the article
seems too plain. I will
change the answers
to an italic font and
shorten down the
“Question 1” to “Q1”
for all of the
questions.

34. I have included 2 images
to show the progress of
this teenage boy while he
was going through his life
changing experience. I
have also included an
image to show the type of
meal this teenage boy
was eating when he was
going through this time.
I kept the masthead
layout the same for the
Front Cover, Content Page
and Double Spread as I
find it attractive and feel
that it will be pleasing to
the readers eye. Also it
makes the article stand
out as it is large and in
bright colours.
I have included the
interview in my article to
show my readers what
this young teenagers life
changing experience as
like. I also included his to
show my readers what
they are able to eat and
what exercises they are
able to complete.
I have continued using
the bright colour scheme
for my Double Spread
Article as this is pleasing
to the readers eye but it
also makes the article
stand out and it makes
the magazine more lively
and welcoming towards
my audience.
I have used a neat and
tidy layout for my double
spread article to make it
clear and easy for my
audience to read the
article and understand
what it is about. I also
chose to have the layout
like this to make my
magazine look more
professional.
