As Melanie and I sat in class on Thursday, we received some more constructive criticism which has only improved the look of our magazine. We first chose a new font for our masthead and it is beautiful and modern and just what we wanted. Heres a little sneak peak…
While choosing a new font, we also decided to make both of our mastheads white so the picture can really make the page stand out. Both of our cover photos have amazing quality and colors so we wanted that to stick out instead of the masthead. There is also a slight reflection behind the masthead to make it pop as well.
Along with the masthead, I have also changed my accent color to a dark purple which really pops on the cover and throughout the magazine, specifically the table of contents and the two page spread. I have also begun to look at more layouts for the two page spread because we have not found one that has caught our eye but hopefully one will jump out at us soon.
I want to dive a little deeper into the details of our magazine to share more about it with you guys. On our cover page we have decided to keep it neat and modern. Underneath the masthead is the location that the magazine focuses on in big white letters. Underneath that is our main cover line which our two page spread will talk about. Underneath that are 3 adjectives to describe the cover line which are all an alliteration to each other meaning they all start with the same letter or have the same kind of sound to it. Also on the cover page there is a plus sign in between the cover line and 3 adjectives to make that sign our trademark which will be on every magazine cover. There is only information on the right hand side to make the cover picture be the main focus. We have chosen to only put one cover line on the magazine because it allows us to only focus on one topic and give our readers a surprise once they open the magazine and see all the amazing pages inside. Also on the cover page there is a plus sign in between the cover line and 3 adjectives to make that sign our trademark which will be on every magazine cover. There is only information on the right hand side to make the cover picture be the main focus.
Our main purpose of this magazine is to not only sell you the hottest location spots but we want to provide our readers with amazing information about these places and a little bit about the culture there, not just the breathtaking beaches and views and five-star hotels. This upcoming week will be dedicated specifically towards our two page spread and sharing with you guys some more amazing research we find. So far this process has been very tedious but it is slowly all coming together. With less than two weeks left we know that this week has to be filled with lots of new research and ideas.
