Content-Page: Construction - Designing and Editing

Before starting the construction of my content page, I needed a grid and guidelines on the page to structure the layout, before I added the content lines and images.

Then I removed the grid and began adding the content lines. I played around with a bunch of different fonts for a bit and finalized a blend of various fonts and text sizes.

To add the images I first removed their background using the pen tool and masking techniques in photoshop and then added each image alongside its relating content line.

Though my content page had begun to get a pretty cool look, I felt like the black and white themed content page wouldn't go with the color theme I used on the cover page. So I decided to add more colour to it. I decided on using Black and Red

I think it looked much better this way, but most of my content lines and captions in red weren't readable. So I added some shade to it.

The image at the bottom blended in with the black background so I added a red box behind it to make it pop.

Preliminary Task: School Magazine - Final Product

Marketing Kit

For the marketing of my magazine I have created a marketing kit.

Planning: Codes and Conventions

Application of codes and conventions on the genre. The above magazine follows the conventions of a teen beauty magazine. The model used for the main image is a young girl in a casual dress-up. The subtle make-up and bubbly expressions denote the innocence and youthfulness that teen girls have. The codes and conventions followed in the above magazine are bold, over the top styling, heavy make-up and extravagant props. The models in this genre usually take up looks that no woman would generally wear, so it's not necessarily a representation of women rather a creative portrayal of beauty as art.
