Here is my first draft for my School Magazine. I took the photo of the student myself in order to fulfil the requirements of an original image. I followed the conventions of photography, using rule of thirds and depth of field. I also used neutral lighting to focus instead on the student and his environment. I chose to get a picture of him in the school library to reflect the purpose of the magazine and the masthead.I decided to make the appearance of my magazine clean and professional to reflect the appearance the school wants.At the moment i only have a low res image of the school badge, but i intend on getting a higher res image to make the front cover look better.I initially researched another school magazine from "St Ambrose Barlow" , but was unsatisfied with the design as i felt it was lacking in much intelligent design.
I feel that the design is trying to replicate the feel of a newsletter, rather than a magazine, and its appearance comes across as cheap and made of convenience, rather than intelligent thought out design style. This is why i have decided to try and create a more aesthetically pleasing front cover for my school magazine.
