I have done these pages to have an overall image of how my cover and content pages could look like. these are not really drafts as there is only the main picture and the mustheadon them. Ive chosen two pictures for these two pages:
I've chosen a picture of Daniela for the cover and added my musthead on it. I've used in a way a very artistic font in light blue colour. The letters ''E'' and ''T'' stand out a lot reflecting the name of the magazine. The color of the musthead also reflects the colours of the school crest which I've decided to add to represent the school and emphasise that this is a student magazine.
After working with this picture I've decided to stick with it and use it in all the further drafts and the final cover page. The black background allows to use any other colours for the cover lines and the picture itself is very cheerfull (even though dark colours are dominant) as the light is directed on Daniela's face and highlights all the emotions. It catches the eye but doesnt distract from other thongs on the cover.
I've also tried to do the layout of the contents page. For it I've used a picture of Donna. I've decided to use it in the maximum size and as an actual background for the page. I thought making it black and white would be a good idea, as I could use different colours for the headings of the contents. However, the picture appeared really dark and even depressing. This is a good picture as the placing of person in the shot allows me to write all the contents on the right side of the page in a nice neat coloumn. I think I can use this picture but work more on it, add effects and make it less dark and more interesting.
