Construction: Cover Page - Designing and Editing

I started off by first improving the lighting of my main image as it wasn't quite satisfactory before.

I then added the logo, using the font Times New Roman. Since there was already a lot of colour because of the greenery in the background and my model's dress, I decided o go with a clear masthead so I don't overdo it/. But I did add a slight red shadow to it so it also doesn't looks dull and becomes more prominent.

I then began to add the cover-lines. I wanted to highlight some of the cover-lines so I formed bars of different colours, reduced their transparency and added the text on top of them. I used bright colours for these bars so the clear text is easy to read and the overall theme doesn't look boring. I used a sans serif font for the cover-lines to create an informal impression since its for students.

Then came the strap-line and the rest of the final touches including the barcode.

Preliminary Task: School Magazine - Final Product

Research: School Magazine Logos

Some magazines improve their logos by using different colour schemes, different fonts and so on. This could sometimes be based on the various market segments they target. Teach, for example, produces various content magazines based on its targeted market segments. For its education-based neutral content, targeted at a wider, less-segmented audience, it uses a simple, broadly written, sans-serif font. For its audience segmented as primary and secondary educators, it uses a much informal, bright logo to target its respective audience.
