Fi:xed Smiles: Comments/Critques on Front Page
I asked a few of my friends at Sixth Form to comment on what they liked, and what they thought could be different about my Front Page.
I began with asking Hayden.
Hayden: "I think the background worked really well, but i don't like the yellow text; it doesn't really work. The image is good, but i think that the band members should be brought foward more; closer to the camera. The text at the bottom left isn't very readable, as goes the advertisment. Other than that it looks good.
I took into account the points Hayden mentioned, then i aske Jenny.
Jenny: I really like the colours; they fit really well together. As for the advertisment, it isn't very readable. It's still a good page though!
After asking Jenny, i decided to ask Emily.
Emily: Very well laid out I think it’s absolutely brilliant! I think the blue and yellow go very well together.
After reading they're comments, i understood a few mistakes i perhaps made; Advertsiment placement, and some colour arrangements.
With these, i can edit the Front Page to improve its appearance.

Front Page Final: Fi:xed Smiles
This is my final outcome of my Magazine cover of 'K ZED'. I used a number of colours, font and effects to create this piece. A number of effects have been used on this photo such as Surface Blur, Sharpen, Exposure etc; including cutting and framing of the image itself. Background was also editted out, and banner was softened with Surface Blur. Articles featured here will also be mentioned and featured in the Contents Page.
About the shot: This 3 shot was captured perfectly; with Hayden-main singer-being the focus, and myself and Jenny being less important and being placed further back behind Hayden. The blue on Hayden's jacket captures the band's name perfectly, and the way he holds the mic shows a casual, confident structure.
Layout of the page has been thought through carefully and to the best of my ability. Text has been placed in certain places to look strong and eye-catching. The advertisment behind the Magazine name is alittle weak but hints the audience into buying the magazine to find out more. The yellow, blue and black work well together, and look stunning and bright against the photo and background.
I may create another Front Page as a comparison; with only Hayden featured in it, and recieve people's opinions and critic over the two.

Masthead
The name of out Magazine is 'K ZED'. The title is in a Bauhaus 93 font, and has a number of effects have been used on it to look bold, appealing and stand out. The title is used behind the images used on the magazine cover, and is featured in large text.
The title is simple yet effective, and is coloured in a blue gradient. The colour matches the magazine's featured colours, and stands out against the white background.
It represents Modern day Rock well; with its simple yet powerful font, and deep blue colouring.

Skyline
On the front cover of a magazine, the Skyline is very importent; due to it's placement and purpose. The Skyline is placed at the top of the page, and usually advertises a freebie within the magazine itself. In my magazine, the Skyline is above the Masthead 'K ZED', and is advertising "FREE-Sample CD of Fi:xed Smiles and Three Days Grace stickers". A blue gradient is placed above the Skyline's text and gradually fades out the white at the bottom; which brings out the text more, and clearly seperates it from the Masthead.
