Preliminary Task - Analysis
For my preliminary task i had to create the front cover for a new college magazine by using Adobe InDesign. The main feature had to be a college student in a medium-close up angle with the title SMC above this and a few text-box's containing information on what will be included in the magazine.
In my opinion i think that my magazine cover worked fairly well as i spaced it out so that the picture had decent space around it for titles and text boxes. The bright colours i used stood out against the clear main image which contained college props which worked well with the college magazine theme. I used the same colours scheme throughout so that it looked important and consistent. I abbreviated the main title to "SMC" from "St Marys College" and made it very big and bold so it was memorable and clear. By using direct address, it makes my cover clear and brings out my masthead.
However, on the down side, i was not able to access the internet on the laptop i designed my cover on so therefore i was not able to use "DaFont" to use interesting fonts. I was also not able to add a barcode to make it look more realistic. I would of also of liked to add a St Marys logo onto the magazine.
