TITLE EVALUATIONDuring the questionnaire phase of my course work I asked the subjects what the magazine should be called with a few of my own suggestions, and a place for them to insert their own name. The results came back with 5 out of the 10 that answered opting for the title name “Daily Idsall” which was a copy of the national newspaper “Daily Mail”, which I chose to copy become of its popularity and how it is renowned for being informative and spreading a positive message. Below is the first draft for my school magazine title/head mast:

The design is a direct copy from my first mock up of a front cover my school magazine.

The colour scheme of the title is green and white, like the school colours. This colour scheme will be apparent throughout the magazine.

The design of the title is like that of a banner, it’s a very different approach from all school magazines I’ve looked at and I believe it will give my magazine a edge that will attract students. Most title, or head masts, are dull and boring and just simply use the school’s name, mine on the other hand is development on the school name with a mix of a the well know newspapers.

To make the title stand out more I have used a 3D technique that uses shadows or duplicate layers in a darker colour to give off the idea that it is being caught by the light and has a shadow of its own. This design technique will also make my magazine design unique as no other magazine does it, but its not too far out there that it is weird and people won’t buy it.
