Preliminary Task

This is the Front cover that i have produced for the Preliminary Task.
I have used the T motion as a Guide to create a Front cover. I have complied with the codes and conventions by having a bold title at the top of the magazine and a logo to remind you of the magazine that you are reading. i have placed the Cover Lines in a line down the middle of the page to create the T motion, it isnt exatcly the same as the T motion but i only used the idea as a Guide. I believe that the way that i have placed the cover lines is the best for what image is in the background.

 

I have placed the barcode in the normal position so it is familiar for readers. i also have placed the Cover Lines in the places i have to make it clearly visable and in direct mode of address. The subjects in the Anchoring image have a direct mode of address because whatever way you look at the magazine their eyes are focused on you. I have tried to make the Font cool and in with the current music style, but also considered if it is easy to read and can can clarly be distinguished from othe magazines.

To create this front cover I used Photoshop. I used the Levels tool to change the contrast of the image so that the background wasn't to bright and looked blurred. I have also added the fonts and titles from Photoshops database and everything on the page is copyright free.
