My annotation of my front cover is not clear on the image so I will therefore state them again in this post so it is more clear.
The colours I have used are inspired from the College logo, which is dark blue. However to attract the attention of the reader I used brighter colours such as reds, purples and oranges. The background is blue and the students top is also blue.
The Masthead is located on the left top corner and then spreads across. I chose to enlarge the "V" and the "6" to suit the layout of the cover. I did this by using different text boxes for the text I wanted to be bigger, the font I used was "Silom" and was san serif as I wanted the cover to look very professional and intellectual. Beneath the masthead underneath "ale" is the college logo which I edited using the magic rubber tool on adobe so I got the desired effect.
The image I used was a medium close up shot of a student who has eye contact with the camera and has the indexical sign of a pen in her hand, and is dressed smart which helps present an organised sixth form student.
The cover stories I used, was in brighter colours to help attract attention and were based on educational information, e.g applying for University and study tips. In the cover stories i used buzz words, such as "exclusive" and "latest", I also used direct address to help attract the reader, by saying .."right for you!"
My end magazine cover is very similar to my plan, however originally I did want the student to be left of frame, but I changed my mind due to the student looking as though she had been chopped off.
If I were to do it again I would take the image of my student outside in natural light as it looks more professional and I would also locate the barcode in the bottom right corner so it wouldn't interfere with the masthead, as now the "6" is located lower down as I would have hoped.
I will learn from my mistakes and allow that to influence me in creating my music magazine cover.
