Contents Page Of School Magazine - The Finished Design
I am pleased to find that the finished design has come out just as I had expected; able to follow the plan and develop it with more detail whilst keeping to a simple layout. I followed the idea of bright colours, using a tiled background to help make the text stand out. I chose the texts in black and white to stand out compared to the others, used as 'catch-phrases' to get the reader's attention.
College Magazine Cover - Final Design
The cover of my magazine idea. I used The Eye as inspiration on the design of my magazine, using the bright colours of the background to contrast with the text so it can stand out more. However, I used my own knowledge of what students are more likely to read and used it to design the format. At first I was going to stick with the same text for the cover lines, however I changed it once I realised it would look boring and not eye catching. I am pleased that I didn't have to alter my idea too much, using bright colours as a basis and working from there. The target audience is generally the studen population, from the first years to the last, with the interest of music being the compound of the magazine, with other ideas that would interest a teenager and young adult.

The names for the songs I had chosen via thinking on the lines of games, seeing as my band is called Invaders. I went onto Dafont.com to find the seperate fonts which would best suit the names and pasted them onto photoshop before adding to the image. The Space Invaders images are a logo of sorts for the band, to be an enticement like the image of the actual members would be. The hardest thing I've had to do on this project would have to be deciding what type of genre of music I was working with then going on to edit the images to fit it. Fortunately I messed around a little with the images then managed to come up with an alternative techno band.
At the beginning of the project, I had intended to conform to a more Emoish band but had gone on toward a techo alternative band and worked on it from there. The various figures on the cover were intended to be the band members but by duplicating the images and adding a Space Invaders image for the heads, I was able to create a sort of gaming surreal cover; thus conforming to the techno side of the split genre and getting the album name. Game Over. This also added to the target audience I have aimed it at, teenagers who like the techno side of music as well as the gaming industry.
