Josh and Mats Magazine

This magazine follows the normal convention rules for a magazine; we used 4 pictures in are magazine which a normal magazine will have at it’s maximum; we choose to have 4 pictures because we wanted the magazine to follow these convention to make it look more professional. Also we used only 2 different font colours which a normal magazine would do also. In making are magazine we made sure we did not break any off a traditional magazines convention rules therefore are magazine did not break no conventions; we did not want to break any convention rules to fulfil are magazine to come across to the audience as professional.

We made the colours on are background red and black; we did this because are magazine needs to apply to boys and black and red is a very boyish colour therefore hopefully getting the boys attention with these colours. We made the magazine for boys in school; are catch line was “How can you work and play?” we had this next to a very famous footballer by this footballer being on are front page and this line being next to him people will want to know how? And they will buy it to found out.

These magazines are for anytime readers it does not follow a ongoing story which means you have to read the one before to understand the next one we made sure we picked a magazine which anyone can pick up and read; we did this because we where thinking about are target audience and not many children would keep buying this magazine week in week out; but by use having a complete separate magazine every week children can buy it and read it anytime they want therefore making it a bigger sales income for us the makers.

I have learnt in making this magazine cover that Photoshop is really hard to use; Are magazine is not the best but it is quite good for are 2nd practice on Photoshop. If I could improve one thing I would make the writing on the blackboard better and make it look more professional. As well as by me doing this I now know how to use Photoshop much better and these techniques I have learnt will help me through the rest of the course.
