Front cover

I have completed my front cover and I'm quite pleased with the outcome. I decided to name my magazine FAB because it's a simple catchy name with a sense of fun. I purposely kept the font type the same except the title/logo. I wanted the title/logo to be recognisable so I chose a bold font and spaced the lettering out to create an effective impact. Red is an eye catching colour which is why I wanted my title/logo to be in that colour. For the tag line 'The Sussex Downs College Magazine' I chose the colour white as it works effectively with the red. I liked the look of the colours together, therefore, I kept that colour scheme for the fonts through out the page. I included the issue number and date in the top left corner as typically in most magazines it is placed in that area in a small font.
I placed the main cells each side of the image, I chose a word or words relevant to the context and put them in red, so the reader gets an idea of whats inside just by browsing at the front cover quickly. I placed the main headline at the bottom of the page in the centre, so it's obvious that it's an important feature.
