Prelim cover done!

I finally finished my preliminary work's front cover today, after having several issues with minor details (also known as being a perfectionist). Although in my earlier post about my sketches for this task I had 3 very distinct ideas, I ended up using an amalgamation of all 3 for this task.

Without further ado, here is the completed preliminary cover!

I tried to stick to the 3 colour scheme conventionally used in magazines, using the schools colours of white, red and black and I think they look good, but the white definitely stands out more on red than the black does, which makes it easier to read. I would of put a bar code in the top of the magazine, but as it is a school magazine I felt it would be unnecessary, due to the magazine not being on sale.

I also finished my contents page, which uses images to border the details of the pages.

I like the use of red text on white background, as I feel it stands out. I think the images could of been more creative, but i was limited for time as the deadline was drawing closer and closer
