Print Magazine: Draft

This is the draft of one of my print magazine, as you can see it's not entirely finished off because I had a short amount of space of time to complete it by. From this I have learnt a majority of various of things, from making effects to the pictures and changing the input of the text. This is going to helpful for me when it comes to doing the original piece of the print magazine. The things that I'm personally proud of from this magazine in a whole is the layout of the text, as when I was doing my research especially from Q magazine's I identified area's in which I can use. For an example the text was spaced out and in bold but from the sell lines they had a pattern from big and bold to smaller and italics. Which is useful as there shouldn't be that much text on the magazine because it will look to busy which is a disadvantage. The central image I think Is useful (as I stated in my other post) however I feel like I could've done a lot to the image; crop it out, make it bolder, have a background to match with it and cover the image where text is not shown. 

Something that I added on top of the magazine was 'Souvenir magazine' showing to the consumers/audience that this is all about the teen programme 'a step bag'. The colour I did for that was the same as 'E4' because I wanted to highlight that this is on channel E4 reminding the audience constantly, I thought it was a good idea to have the same colour. In addition to that I have spaced it out to make it look more so clear, but also in a whole it makes the magazine look more so real. For the tagline I opted out for 'The road will never be the same again', this sums out perhaps the film as a whole because I'm connoting that thing's aren't going to be the same for some of the protagonist's and this would get the audience curious allowing them to pick up the magazine. However, the central image is hiding the tagline which doesn't make it look clear and bold so if I had a chance to change it it would be that. Another thing I was lacking on was the colour scheme I wanted two significant vibrant colours, but I didn't seem to make up my mind because there was so many! So next time I need to decide and add that, having red though is showing how bold and informing the text could be which is useful.

This is one of the scenes I captured which I thought was effective and looked realistic, this is the scene where Rashmi takes the train and is not travelling this is effective as the audience are now curious into where she's going. I wanted to add this in one of the small frame boxes which I have as in the magazine I'm connoting what will happen next as teenagers love spoilers! In my official print magazine when we as a group go shooting next, I will take a number of pictures so I can use it in my magazine and it wouldn't be as blurry.

This is another scene which I screen captured I thought it was very effective, as this is a useful wide shot allowing the building to be scene in a numerous of diverse aspect's allowing the audience to engage fully. Adding it into the frame is beneficial as they can look at these footage and get valid and latest information out of it. And as I only have one 'central image' and less writing adding three scenes would make the magazine stand out more and entice the teenagers (audience).

This is the scene where the camera focuses on the phone as that's the main suspense for the audience because they aren't aware of who the person is. So to make them feel more so curious I wanted to add it on top of the third frame box to make it engaging. Also I can show through the context of the magazine me conversing about this scene and the reasons we chose it etc. which would move them to read about it. If I had the opportunity I would've added it on  to the frame boxes but the process was time consuming, however I know what I need to do to make the magazine very effective which I will be using.
