front cover

Evaluation:
My mast head is big and black; it stands out on the blue/purple background. I have cut around my models head to create a funky style, using his head as the “o” in the word Sport. Underneath my mast head is NCC outlined in white, to secure the fact that this is a College magazine. In my sky line is the date, and brief outline of what is in the magazine, and a bright price to reveal it’s USP of being cheaper than others.
I have situated most of my text within the left hand side of my cover, doing this allows for key features to still be visible if stacked on a shelf.
Using the term ‘number 1’ suggests this is the best magazine, encouraging some to buy it over other competitors. Immediate after my slogo are three brief bullet points, stating a few articles within.
a pull quote is next down, reading ‘time to jump into the court… or pitch… or ring’. I have played on the phrase ‘time to jump in’ meaning to take part and get involved, including words relating to sports. At the very bottom of my page are three points, highlight the three main topics concentrated in this magazine. A bar code to the right gives a more authentic feel.
I chose this as my main picture, because I felt that my models stance creates a powerful message, painting sport as big and robust. The pearlescent background is really bold and abstract, different to others you might see, appealing to an audience through uniqueness.
