I saw this advert in Vice for THESUSOPROJECT, and I thought I would try some thing similar for my contents page. I plan to use a vinyl a tape and iPod for music and a script and video tape for films and sports equipment for sport etc. I will take photos on a white back and then use Photoshop to put them all together.

I have now chosen a Type Face called ‘Kremlin Minister Black 3D’ for my masthead. I have decided to repeat the title, in two colours. I chose to do this because I had to front cover images that are a little bit different, so I wanted the logo to reflect this too. Just under my masthead is the fictional website address of the magazine www.obey.com, I used the typeface ‘Kremlin Kommisar’ for the website text and the rest of the text on the cover apart from the word FREE which is in Arial Black. I chose to use a different typeface for the word FREE because I did not like the Capital E for the typeface ‘Kremlin Kommisar’ I found a bar code to use for the front cover which will be placed towards the bottom of the cover. I now have both my original photo and my illustration facing each other, as if they are in shock at seeing each other. For my cover lines have used a very similar style to that of the journal, and the items mentioned on the front will be featured on the contents pages.

Preliminary Exercise Brief

Using DTP and an image manipulation program (Photoshop) produce the front page of a new school/college magazine, featuring a photograph using digital technology, of a student in medium close-up plus some appropriately laid out text and a masthead. Additionally candidates must produce a mock up of the layout of the contents page to demonstrate their grasp of DTP. Individual or pairs. If pairs then 2 different covers need to be produced. Produce a short portfolio of evidence to include planning –analysis of existing school magazine front covers. Survey what students expect/like to see on a front cover of a school magazine. Drafts of the front cover. Evidence of your photos and manipulation.

I have made a simple mind map of some ideas.
