Finished Pulse Magazine

Dear moderator,

My name is Sophie Harten, and my candidate number is 8215.

I have completed my Front cover, Contents page, Double page spread and Evaluation for Pulse magazine and I have comepleted my Pliminary task of a school magazine.

I have moved these all to the top of my blog so you can see them easily, hope you enjoy marking my work :)

Pulse Evaluation

Here is my evaluation which i have used prezzi to present it on

Final Front Cover

This is my final page for my magazine.

I decided to use the colours black, grey, red and white throughout my magazine and I felt by using the red it really stood out.
I made sure that the name of my magazine was in white and bold at the top so that it stood out to the consumers. I also put 'Dynamite' in red underneath and in italics so that it was different from the other normal text as it was the main focus to this magazine. I put 'The Sexy Issue' at the bottom by the barcode because I thought this was appropriate as the girls commented in the interview that they were on a 'sexy photo-shoot'.
I only had one image for my front cover as i thought this was better as you could see who the main focus to the magazine would be. Also the magazine i had been looking at only had one image.

I also made sure that i included the issue numer, price and date as this is information that customers need to know.


 

Final Double Page Spread

This is my final double page spread.
I decided to do my interview as quetions and answers as I thought this was better way to interview a celebrity. Also imterviews i had looked up were all question and answer based.
I kept to my colour scheme grey, black and red. However i decided not to use white as it didn't stand out as well which may give the reader difficulty when reading. I included 3 images of the girls. One of each of them on their own and one together. Although I didnt use same background as i did for my front cover and contents page i can tell that this double page spread is from Pulse.

Final Contents Page

I have now finished putting my contents page together.

I decided to have my contents page under the subheadings Features, Fashion and & More. I thought this was more appropriate as it meant that the reader was able to look at that specific category to find what they were looking for.

I only put one image on my contents page as I didn't want it to be too crowded and I thought it was more effective this way. The magazine that i had looked at to help with my music magazine only had one image also.

 

 

Front cover of prospectus

This is my school prospectus for my preliminary task. This is aimed at pupils who are looking to continue on their studies at this school. This school prospectus will help parents and the children have a better knowledge of what the sixth form has to offer for them.

Final contents page

This was my final design for my contents page. I decided to change the content listing so that they were all in line with other so that this way it looked professional. I made sure that topics were all coloured red so that it clearly indicated where each new category started. The stories that are beneath the headings are all related to what the headings are about. I thought this was a good idea as then it would be easier for customers to find what they are looking for easily.
My teacher suggested to me to change the colour of the main story which is my double page spread so to do this i ensured that i changed it to white and also made it larger so that it stood out even more to the consumer.
The image of the girl worked well for my contents page i thought as it has her looking towards the features of the contents page. I decided to do a long shot as i wanted to get in my models outfit in to also show the fashion side to the magazine.
I also made sure that the page number and the name of the magazine was included next to one another so that it clearly showed that magazine.
