THE SCHOOL MAGAZINE TASK!!!! (Planning)

Different styles of font to see which one would look better and what colours I would use this will also help with my chosen colour scheme. I decided to chose a black background with the orange colour but the font is off the blue style of font and the colour of the font will white as i think its fresh and appeal to the students as this is target audience. Its eye catching and different so this is why I picked this style of font and colours. Also we had to come up with a school magazine name so I came up with names HS world, HS and The Buzz i came up with these names as HS stands for High School but them i came up with the name buzz as its modern and almost like the buzz around school time of thing, so i decided to come up with the name The Buzz as it will appeal to my target audience as i had asked many different students and The Buzz won.

Colour schemes had to considered also as I had chosen a black background so I came up with ideas of bright colours but one colour would have to be the main colour, which as chose as black as it goes well with bright colours and i would use the bright colours for the text. So i came up with bright green,hot pink and lime also red,blue and yellow then i came up with purple orange and white, i went with the purple, orange and white as its more attractive to my target audience also it standout more clearly from the black background and looks more modern and bright which is what i was after with this magazine.

These are the different effects i thought of when i was planning to make my magazine fresh and different from others and make it trendy and appeal to my target audience so I came up with a few effects i also had a squares effect but didn't save properly but from this i can see a variety of effects i could use on my magazine I the fur and yarn effect I thought these were good as one is a mixture of three colours like the fur effect but then I came across the the paint splatter and I thought this was better as its more creative style which I want the magazine to be creative and brightly coloured so it will stand out from the rest.


Then I had to consider what shapes I would use on my contents pages to contain the numbers or text so i came up with these with again that paint splatter effect around them and tried different parts of the colour scheme so I tried solid purple shape with orange paint splatter but it doesn't look as well on the dark background so i decided to do it the opposite way around with a solid orange shape with purple around and i went with the rounded rectangled shape as its fresh and not a straight sharp looking shape its easy going type of effect.

Then I came up with different backgrounds for my front cover with different effects so I thought the squares effect would be good as it fits in with modern image foe the magazine, then I came up with stars as a good effect as the stars stand out from the black background really well and gives a good image about the school but then I came up with paint splatter effect as I had done previously and it made it seem more creative and fresh and it works really well with the dark black background and works well with my chosen colour scheme.
