Development of Front Cover

During the development of my magazine once I had come up with a few ideas for my front cover I printed it off to get a better look at it. I annotated these sheets with what I wanted to change and add so when I went back to my magazine the next day I would know exactly what to do to make it look better.

The picture at the top shows a picture of one of my first attempts at making my magazine. After looking at it on paper I knew I wanted to add more on the page to fill it out more and move things around to make it look tidier.

The bottom picture is a stage nearer the end of me finishing my rough cut. I knew I wanted to add a bar code and a price for the magazine somewhere on the page as well as adding something else to fill the gaps left.

I am really pleased that I did this as it meant at each stage of making my rough cut I knew what I needed to do and what I wanted my magazine to look like so I didn’t waste any time thinking about it in the lessons and just got on with making it.
