I created a simple mast head with a simple font from ‘da font’. I then created a Sun with some shapes on Photoshop to form something which makes it easier to make put what the magazine is when it is on a shelf.

I then added cover line and under title to the mast head so you can see what the magazine is and the main idea of this issue of the magazine.

I then took a barcode off the internet and added text to show the issue number and price. This makes it look more realistic and more suitable for a magazine cover.

I then added some background lines for use of a headline which will stand out to the reader. However I changed this later so that there straight rather than curved and slightly translucent.

I have changed the mast head so that the colour is suitable to the back ground image and matches the blue and cold idea of colour. I used a gradient and contour to make it look more realistic and fit to the magazine.

To fit the rest of the text to the style of the magazine I changed it to white using ‘colourise’ to make them white.
This includes the barcode, ‘best of British’ and ‘College Magazine’

I then added a ‘Real Life’ Heading to create interest and it relates to the background cover. I used Ariel text and created a background with shapes and made it slightly transparent.

Finally I added a shape and text to show a ‘WIN!!’ heading which would interest the reader and suits the magazine style.
This is my overall front cover.

I made a title for my contents page by using the same font as the front cover. I then created a blue gradient like the front cover so it is following the same house style and is obvious it’s part of the same magazine.

With the background I took an image for the background of the contents page and made it opaque so you can see the text on top but makes it more interesting than having a white background.

I put a date, name of the magazine and page number at the bottom of the page which helps to hold a house style. Also I carried on the blue with the contents page which fits to the front cover.
I then created a subscribe box with word font’s from ‘da font’ so you could subscribe to the magazine and make it more realistic.

I then added the titles of the articles with ‘journal’ font from ‘da font’ and information in an Ariel as it’s easier to read.

I then added an image of my front cover onto the contents page so you can relate to what's on the front. To make it look more realistic I added a drop shadow which makes it look higher and away from the page.

This is my final contents page which is similar in colour and style to the front cover, therefore maintaining a house style.
