Magazine Cover – Assignment 1
__________________________________________________________________________________
a) What qualities of your magazine cover make it effective? (eg. What makes it eye catching?, What about it promotes curiosity?, How is it visually pleasing?, What makes it easy to understand?)
The biggest quality I tried to play off of was using contrast. I used bright colours on a dark background. It’s eye catching because when you look at this you can Cleary see that my focal points are the title and the picture. It promotes curiosity because it has that sense of mystery. It makes you want to know what’s the story behind the picture which then in turn would make you pick up the magazine. Visually it’s pleasing because its neat, clean and not to busy. It’s easy to understand because I made sure that the writing was legible on the background.
b) What was the order of hierarchy you were trying to achieve for the elements on your magazine cover?
1)Title (GossipGirl) 2) Picture of Serena (Blonde girl)
3) Main story line (Is this the end of Blair)
4) Picture of Blair (Brunette girl)
5) Sub-stories
