The main reason i did'nt follow this design through is because you can't really scan over the front cover as the main title is through the middle focusing all the readers attention into one place. Another reason this design was not found suitable was because if this was on sale the masthead would'nt be on show, which could damage the magazines reputation. The good points to this design is the wrapping paper background imediatly gives positive connotations of christmas. The other good point is the title was made to resemble wrapping paper which completed the designs christmas present apperence.
2nd Idea
On this design I decided to place all the different aspects of the cover around the page so that readers could easily scan and pick up on different points, this is one of the improvements from the previous version. I have now put the ribbon banner in a cross to try and imatate the present idea. with this the title of the magazine was down the side which again is a mistake if this was to be put on sale on a rack. The good points to this magazine was i made the images look like they were in a scrap book, this suits the christmas film as scap books and christmas are connotated with family.
3rd Idea
This is the final design which i found suitable to fit the needs. It uses the cross ribbon effect but i made the ribbon it self narrower. The images are still made to look like a scrap book because of the connotations. It also uses a bright green banner at the bottom to stand out against the rest of the cover, the banner will just say, 'Christmas Edition'.
Final Idea, Mac Edition
This is the final idea for my school magazine. This image was generated using the 'Pages' programme on the Mac software.
