(The following is my self-assessment of my layout experimentation task
which can be found here)
What Went Well?
- I have justified most of my
reasoning behind the decisions I made when I created the front covers.
- I have included all but one
of the codes and conventions of music magazines on all my covers (URL,
Price and issue number – I forgot about the date line).
- Most of the artists I used
for my cover lines matched each other in terms of their genre and style of
music.
- In my opinion, my “Music_X”
magazine was the best as it includes secondary imagery. This magazine was
also the most fun to create.
Even better if:
- I should have included he
date line to give a sense of realism to the covers.
- At times (for example on the
cover of “M” magazine featuring “The Hippy Hive”) I could have used a more
interesting font to match the artist’s style of music.
- On the other cover of “M”
magazine my main cover line of “Drake” blended in to the main image making
it hard to read from a distance. I could have fixed this by either moving
the cover line to a different location on the cover, or I could have
chosen a different font or font colour.
This task was useful for me as in the future, when it comes to creating
our real magazine, I can look back at this task and I can see what colours
work together, what fonts work for what genre, etc. I think because of this
task, the process of creating my magazine will be much smoother.
