What i chose to do is to regularly take print screens everytime i made substantial progress or made any sudden changes and now will take you picture by picture my journey into the creation of Wordsmith's front cover, contents and DPS.
Front cover
straight away as out of all the fonts , in think its the most bold and clear. I decided to use a long shot of the band "elevation" but soon realised that it wont suit the focus of the dps as it is only about one ex band member, Shana. I kept to the black and white imaging as it contrasts with different coloured cover lines. Also my magazine wordplay follows aspects of conventional magazines such as wordplay e.g bold lettering and layout but with uncoventional additions inspired by wordplay magazine. Vibe magazine also influenced my actual masthead.
I finally decided to change the main image and have just "shana" from the band elevation as she is the main focus in the main cover story/DPS.
The medium close up shot works well as she is looking straight ahead as though she is looking at a potential reader and a lack of expression on her face can make people subconsciously want to find out more about her. We are lucky to have had access to a professional photography set-up so the quality does resemble industry standards.
The main coverline is prominently the largest on the front cover which makes sense as this is the story that should potentially sell the magazine or has the most emphasis in detail, information and entertainment.
