FRONT COVER

At this moment in time i am not very familiar with Photoshop. The front cover is bland and lacks color. The font doesn't suit the genre, however, the image goes with the school feel of the magazine. I hope to improve my Photoshop skills as i progress during the project. It would have been beneficial to have the model looking directly at the camera to interact with buyers.

The above image is a school magazine cover designed to inform and attract potential students into joining Ridgewater College.



Are main focus is the women due to her being positioned in the centre of the page.  Her facial expression connotes happiness and her body language suggests how she is relaxed and at ease. The subheading “Global learning’ closely links with the globe seen at the bottom of the page, this acts as a visual aid and reiterates the fact that Ridgewater College provides their students with world class education. This idea is strengthened by the ethnicity of the student. The background scenery appears to be quite homely and implies that Ridgewater is a second home to all the students. The bright lighting highlights the students joy and compliments the overall essence of education being a pleasant experience at Ridgewater College. The font used for the title is simple and stands out from the rest. “Inside!” persuades the reader to explore the magazine in more depth.  The student is dressed in a casual yet smart way to summarise the overall feel of the school, a relaxed environment where students can learn.
