Prelim exercise.

 This is my Prelim task, I specifically chose each individual aspect to the cover. I thought very hard about the composition of my shot, I purposely took the photograph at this angle to emphasise the main purpose of my magazine: national dance week and to engage the target audience. The photo was taken in the dance studio and I purposely included other students in the background to emphasise the fact anyone could join in, regardless to who the person is. Also it implies that its fun and a group activity which may attract people to get involved. I composed the page so that the eye is drawn to the centre of the page and the text runs down the left hand third of the page.

I carefully colour coded the whole page in different blues. I wanted to use the blues in the fonts to match well with her top and the kings schools uniform colour is blue. I chose a large masthead so that the eye is drawn to the magazine. I also added an online poll to see if my target audience who are students are attracted to the front cover of my magazine.
