Deconstruction

Deconstruction of my first attempt at a magazine cover

Deconstruction

Masthead
The title is centred and large, standing out instantly. It's purposely spelt incorrectly, making it seem 'hip' and creative.
Image
The main image is also centred directly below the title, using a mid-shot. The picture has been edited, with the colours enhanced and the face slightly airbrushed. I have put the focal point on the face, blurring the rest of the image a little.
Colour
 Using a colour scheme of warm, pinkish tones and blacks and whites I have created an appealing and gentle overall effect that is easy on the eyes. The patterns and flowers are slightly faded and transparent, making them visible but not distracting or obstructing the text.
Text
 The text used for the coverlines has been varied in font, colour and size, making it more fun to read however some of the colours have made the text a little difficult to read from a distance. I have also regrettably made a typo and misspelled the word 'choose', meaning that in the future I should take better care to check my work before finishing.

 

For the contents page I have tried to keep with the same housestyle, using the same colour scheme and faded flower designs. The text is in sans serif, easy to read and the image in the background is faded so as not to cause distraction or make the text unreadable.
