Updated Cover Page

Double Page Spread 2 - Updated and Edited

These are all the first alterations I made to the double page spread and you can clearly see them when comparing the two images together. Image position has been changed. Font colour on the right hand side has been changed and also the sizing of some areas has been altered.

When looking at this page again, I noticed that the word ‘TOUR’ in the top right hand corner looked a bit boring and dull so I have now made more changes to this and have edited the blog post so you can see the difference.

The change that I have made to the text is that I have made it slightly larger in size and I have also duplicated the initial layer and changed its colour. I then moved the text slightly down and right to create a shadow type effect.

Model For Contents Page

I decided to take some more pictures for my contents page so that there were a better variety of genders in my magazine. I had previously only taken images of females and this is the reason why I decided to add Dan. I chose Dan for my magazine as his style is simple yet effective and he would look right for my genre of magazine and audience. 

Cover Page Design 3

I chose to do another design idea for my cover page for my magazine so that I could experiment with darker shades and editing of my central model. As you can see I have slightly altered my models eye colour and also enhanced her features. Following this I have also made the images and text surrounding her bolder so that they stand out more to my audience.

Research Of BLISS Magazine

BLISS magazine in my opinion is a magazine that is targeted towards young girls. It has many areas that are covered within it including; music, fashion etc. I would say that the main focus of this magazine is music as their cover usually has someone on it relating to music as well as many articles inside. I have used BLISS Magazines as almost a style model for my work and I have used some of their ideas and layout designs to influence my own.

This is a picture of one of BLISS Magazines cover pages and it has a picture of Ella Henderson on it and she is a music artist. The cover has a lot of bright and vibrant colours on it and there is also a variety of different shapes on it also. This makes the cover look eye catching to the audience, encouraging them to purchase it. Furthermore they have also used a variety of different sized print and fonts and this also makes the cover look more appealing.




This is an example of a contents page from the BLISS Magazine. On their contents page they have used many different pictures and have also used a colour palette of which the colours compliment each other.
