Simi KapadiaKey:Use DevelopChallenge
Masthead- the masthead is simple and bold in one block colour, this helps it
stand out and as it is a short name it has to cover
the whole page.
Eyebrow- Parts of the eyebrow are a particular colour to help parts of it to stand out
Cover lines- They are bold and clear to
make it obvious to the reader the main
stories for this issue.
Main Cover line- the main cover line is bigger than the other cover lines making it obvious to the reader, it also involves a pull quote and it is associated with the main cover image
The barcode and date line – is clear in the corner of the page, over laying the cover image. It also has the website on the side of the barcode
There is no strapline underneath the masthead, to perhaps make the masthead look even more simple.
Bribe- there’s a free iTunes download
which may attract some readers
Vibe Magazine Front Cover
Full Bleed image – a short shot of the artist with a certain facial expression, mostly serious looking, underlays the cover lines however overlays the masthead
Masthead- the masthead is simple and bold just like Vibe, therefore I have used
their conventions.
Eyebrow- Parts of the eyebrow are a particular colour to help parts of it to stand out like Vibe.
My Magazine Front Cover
Main Cover line- the main cover line is bigger
than the other cover lines making it obvious to the reader, it also involves a
pull quote and it is associated with the main
cover image –Jay Sean.
Cover lines- They are bold and clear to make it obvious to the reader the main stories for this issue.
The barcode and date line – is clear in the corner of the pageIt also has the QR Code for smartphones on top of the barcode, with the date and issue number underneath.
Strapline- to emphasise the genre of
the magazine. I also included the website in the strapline as it is in
clear view for the reader to read.
Full bleed image- a studio
image is used across the whole page. The facial
expression of the model is quite
unusual as it isn’t serious. As the
model on the contents page is
a famous artist, it may attract
readers.
Cover line/ titles – are clearly marked in bold to make it clear
Vibe Magazine Contents PageHeader – its
clear and bold, involves the website
Caption – showing where all his items of
clothing is from and the
photographer/models name
The numbers are consecutive making it easier to find a page
My Magazine Contents Page
Full bleed image- I used an image that I previously captured
from one of his events, I then edited the
surroundings so I just got himself and
changed the background to help the
image to contrast.
Title - unlike Vibe I enlarged my title to
help it stand out.
Header – like vibe I have placed my header on the outside of the page with the name of the magazine and the page number.
Categories – each of the cover lines are categorized within the two categories.
Caption- I decided to not have an individual caption for the image but instead have an arrow pointing to the image from the corresponding cover line
The numbers are
consecutive making it
easier to find a page
Social Links – As this will be the first page the open up to I thought it would be practical to have the magazines social network links.
