I have started to create the front cover of my magazine taking insertion from this Vibe magazine, I have followed the red box idea over to my magazine as I have red boxes throughout and it creates good continuity, However i feel like there is a lot of blank space not being used up.
I tried adding some text however it just looked pointless as it was too small and the blue faded into the background and ended up making more space.
Instead of trying to re create the Vibe magazine I decided to look and take inspiration from some where else and I found a Rolling stones magazine I liked the look of more, There was more text used and a wider variety of text on the page.
Why did I change?
I keep changing the layout as I have yet to find one I really like I am torn between the two of these however the Sight and Sound magazine is a film magazine which involves the BFI which makes it more of a independent film magazine something I am also doing so I had a go at replicating the style.
I first changed the sell line to match that of Sight & Sound and added my red box which I use to link all of my final pieces together.
I decided to change my title to make it look more like a logo which I can use o other pages of my magazine I also changed it to NORTH EAST instead of The North east and I think it looks a lot better I have also changed the font style to help add to diversity and make my magazine look more interesting.
By trying out this new layout benefits me in development as i have lot of different options and I can see which ne looks more like a regional magazine than the other or I can mix the 2 ideas into one and make it more interesting ver all.
