Drafting and planning

When choosing a font for the magazine you are producing, you need to have a variety of different sizes, large fonts for main things such as the masthead to make the brand of your magazine recognisable and large font for the cover star credit and the main cover line. Medium sized font for the cover lines as these are a main feature of the front page and need to stand out to the reader to make them want to buy it. Lastly small font for not important things for the company such as price and date. Colour is another essential part to make a magazine look good and attractive, by having a colour scheme is one thing but to have it match the style and ethos of the magazine is another, this makes the magazine consistent and professional. Photography needs to be effective to make people more attracted to the magazine, this stands out the most compared to other magazines on the shelf. Having the cover star looking directly at the camera gives direct address to the audience and makes them more engaged.  Having research key things in what i should do to aim to make my magazine effective, i will ensure these things are present in my work to make my magazine look realistic and interesting.
