Vogue because they are a very classy and more modern. They always have a certain theme when looking at their magazine covers.
3) Find three different front covers for your chosen magazine and embed them in your blogpost. Analyse the fonts, colours and typical design. What is the language or writing style? How are the cover lines presented? You need to become an expert in the design and construction of this magazine and its branding.
Planning
Create a SEPARATE blogpost called 'Magazine practical task planning' and complete the following tasks:
1) Plan your main flash - this is the main cover story that links to your central image.
2) Plan the image you will need for the cover - model, costume, make-up, lighting etc. At this point, simply describe the image you need to capture.
Model- Julia & Andi
Costume- Julia: black shirt, Andi : cream Harrington jacket, black and white shirt.
Make-up: Simple makeup for Julia
Lighting: There is going to be a high key lighting.
3) Write the cover lines and any additional text you need for your magazine cover.

Photoshoot
The photoshoot will take place on Monday 13 May. Make sure you have everything you need for the lesson - model, costume, make-up etc.
Photoshop design
You will have the photoshoot lesson and one additional single lesson to design the front cover on Photoshop. Use YouTube tutorials to help introduce Photoshop if you haven't used it before - this one is a complete guide to creating a magazine cover.
Publication to blog and analysis
Create a blogpost called 'Magazine practical task evaluation' and complete the following tasks:
1) Save your finished Photoshop magazine cover as a JPEG image and upload it to your evaluation blogpost.
2) Write an evaluation of your work: have you succeeded in your brief to create a new, original edition of an existing magazine?
I feel like i have succeeded in getting a new original edition of an existing magazine. This is by having all the key factors that a magazine in vogue would have.
3) Put your cover alongside a couple of genuine covers of your chosen magazine. How professional is your work alongside genuine examples?
I feel like there could be some improvements in my work i could have experimented with the background and the cover lines a little more. It is professional to some context such as the key factors are included but i could have experimented more with theme colours a little bit more.
4) What is the strongest aspect of your work?
I feel like the strongest aspect of my work is the key elements is including everything an original front cover of vogue would have is included in mine. Which includes front cover lines, a model and the title of the magazine.
5) What is the weakest aspect of your Photoshop magazine cover?
I feel like the weakest aspect is i could have made the text stand out more than the background which could attract Vogue audiences.
6) What would you do differently if you completed this assignment again?
I think one thing i could do differently is have a different background which would help me in choosing a suitable format and colour for the text.
