Step by step screenshots of school magazine

Background Colour

I chose a light pink colour to fill my background with as it matches the colour scheme of the school. I used the paint bucket tool in order to fill the background.

Masthead

I have chosen to use this design for my masthead as it matches with the magazines colour scheme. I embossed the title and added extra colour to make it stand out more.

Main Image

This is my main image as it corresponds with the main article I’m including on my front page. I used the magnetic lasso tool to cut it out and make it fit on the page.

Coverlines

I have included coverlines so that the reader can see what else will be featured in the magazine. These are positioned around the main image.

Sub-Coverline

These are used to describe the coverlines to give the reader extra information.

Main Coverline

The main coverline tells the reader what the main feature article will be about. It also corresponds with the main image.

Insert Images

The insert images go with the coverlines. This is so the reader can visualise the other articles in the magazine

Puff

The puff draws extra attention to the magazine. I did this buy using the shape tool and then adding text.

Barcode, Issue Number and Issue Date

These are included to make the magazine more realistic. Furthermore, they give the magazine a more professional, serious touch

Positioning Statement

This is used to show what the magazine thinks of itself. It also adds a sense of identity to the magazine.
