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.

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.

Preliminary Task: School Magazine - Final Product

Planning: Sketches

Starting up my work on the preliminary task of creating my own school magazine, the first step was to make illustrations of how I wanted my magazine to look like. For that, I created these sketches.
