A2 Advanced Portfolio

I have chosen to create a regional magazine as I feel most suited to this brief. The main genre of the magazine will be creative arts, such as photography and graphic design, therefore I will go out to exhibitions and discover the arts within Cornwall. I will also take a chunk of lifestyle and revamp it with a creative twist.The main target audience I will be reaching is people of mixed gender between the age of 18-25 in the social bracket of C1-E.

I am also looking forward to creating the website for this magazine as it will give me a chance to improve my skills and learn more about digitally creating. I will also be able to use these new skills in my other subjects.

Verran Cover Construction

The construction process for my front cover was one of the easier parts of making my 3 media products. I liked experimenting with the different positioning of text and images, when I finally found the perfect composition of text I made sure the colours were right to connote a "bad boy". I chose to have everything either in the centre or to the side because I feel like in order to keep my magazine sophisticated yet stylish I couldn't have a magazine that wasn't neat and tidy.

Verran Contents Construction

I didn't really have to do a lot of work in order to make this contents page, however I had to use the grid tool in order to get the text in the right positioning and all in place. I planned this image so that the layout of my contents page would be image on the right and text on the left, I didn't really plan where my images and masthead were going to go but I easily found a place to put them. I'm happy with my final contents page but I don't think that it is the best I could have made it with the time that I had.
