This is my final front cover, i chose to have the title in the font 'david' which i have had as my font for all of my text so that it doesnt clash on the page, my title is bright yellow with a black outline so that it stands out against the other colours on the page, i also chose yellow because it links to the theme of summer because it is the colour of the sun. I decided to use the schools motto as my sub heading because it represents the school and what it stands for, i think my page looked better with it under the title because it makes the page look more full and interesting. I kept my colour pallete to a bright yellow, pale pink and duck egg blue because i thought these three colours would suit the summer theme and look good together, i played around with what colours to put where so that the parts of the page that need to stand out the most have the brighter more noticible colour and the parts you dont need to notice as much are in the paler colours, for example the title is bright and yellow. My image on the front is of Joel, a boy in my sixth form, he is dressed smart so that it is a good representation of what the school expects of their students. As it is a summer edition i have made sure that the sun is in the photo and luckily it is actually partly on joel, which i think looks good. I have included the date and a barcode like a normal magazine would but i have kept it plain and simple so that it doesn't take your attention away from the main parts of the magazine, e.g. the title and background image. I tried to add a graphic of flowers or the sun but it didnt look right as i thought it made the page look tacky. I think this is successful as it looks quite like a magazine and fits its purpose, if i was to do this again i would try to find a way to put more on the page, i think it is quite plain but then again it still is effective because of the colour.
