my final magazine desingn



This is my finished magazine cover. I called it "Sussex Downs News" as it shows that it is quite formal and the Sans Serif writing anchors this. But because i didn't want students to think it would be boring i made the rest of the cover quite playful and colourful. For example the beginning of the title is slanted and not completely strait. For the background i used blue as this is a colour which most people like and it may signify calmness. When i want the reader to see certain words i coloured them in bold bright colours so they are eye catching.


In order for students to want to read it I put on possible prizes they could win, this means they will want to find out more. They will see the words "win win win" and then be hooked in to see what it is they could win. I put in stars by this because it makes the "win" stand out more. There is a strip of purple at the top to draw the attention to the writing there, as it is quite small. The font for the rest of the writing is simple and not too formal to
show that it will be easy to read.
Here is my finished Contents page. It is not exactly how i wanted it to be because my first draft was accidently deleted. So it is quite simple as i had limited time to finish it. I again chose a blue background as it is favoured by many people. The bright bold colours make it clearer to the reader as to what's on each page. to add to the simplicity i made gaps in the title and numbers to anchor the connotations of the background. The style of writing is quite friendly and chatty so that the reader will feel at ease.
