Drafts

Before I can go on to create my final product, it is important to create a variety of different drafts of the layout and experiment with colour schemes, fonts and feature photographs which I want to use on the front cover to ensure that I create the best text possible.

Font for my magazine masthead


















































I chose to use the final font (Segoe UI Semibond) for the masthead of my magazine cover because I feel that it is the most clear to read, as the other fonts seem too artistic for a magazine cover and could be difficult to read from a distance. The clear, bold font also suits the punchiness of the name of my magazine, "Epic".

Once I had chosen which image I wanted to use on my magazine front cover from the selection I had taken, I used "Microsoft Picture It!" to edit out the blue screen background and adjust the brightness/contrast of the image. I chose to use this particular image because I felt that the focus was very clear so the image is of a good quality. I also like the way the shot is framed, as both of the characters expressions can clearly be seen.
