Preliminary Task

For our preliminary task, we were assigned the task of designing the front cover and contents page of a school magazine.

On my front cover, I chose to use a low-angle close up of a student standing in front of the school, in order to achieve a traditional look and feel. On both the cover and the contents page, I chose to use a blue, white and black colour scheme to run throughout the magazine. Additionally, I followed other codes and conventions of a school magazine, such as the positioning of the model, and the placement of text on the page. This includes the centralised headline on the cover, the upper central title on the contents page, and the smaller central text for the individual article titles.

These are all codes and conventions I intend to adhere to when creating my music magazine.
