Draft 1
This is my first draft. As the images I have taken are all bright
and colourful, I want to use colours that were going to match this. I don’t like
this cover as I feel it doesn’t look professional and too childish for my
target audience. I have cover lines, however I’m not planning to put them on
until I make my final product. I don’t like the image in this draft as she is
not looking at the camera and I do not want to use a long shot.
For my contents page, I wanted something funky and fun. However as I
had technical problems, I had to use Microsoft Word instead of InDesign. I like
the colours of this contents page but I do not think I will use this design for
my final product as it is too busy for a contents page.
Draft 2
This is the second draft of my final product. I decided to edit one
of the photos to see what effect I could get. As I managed to tone down the
brightness of the image and take away some of the colour, I felt I could use
red, white and black to try to appeal to the higher end of my target audience. I
like this photo; however I feel I have the same problem as I did with the first
one.
I wanted to go for a more modern and simple look with this contents
page so that it matched the look I was going for with the front cover.
Draft 3
Final Copy
This is my third draft, leading into my final product. The title on
my front cover of the final product is supposed to be like it is in the third
draft, a font called Technine, although it didn’t come out like it should have
done. I like my final product as I feel the colours all go well together. I achieved
the urban, alternative look I was aiming for and I feel it will attract my
target audience.
I am not quite happy with my contents page as I had to make it on
Word, again because I had problems with some things. I hope you understand the
type of look I was aiming for. As the front cover and double page spread are so
busy, I wanted a more simpler look for the contents page so it would not
confuse the reader.
I enjoyed making my double page spread and I am proud of it. If I could
change anything, it would be the font colour and I feel it does blend in with
the background too much. When making the background for this spread, I tried to
make the circles more transparent. Despite being able to make them less bold
than they were, they didn’t go quite as faint as I had hoped. However I still
feel I achieved the look I wanted and that this would appeal to my target
audience.
