College Magazine - front cover

On first impressions this cover I think stands out well because it contrasts colour on black and white. The title stands out well, grabbing the audiences attention because it is in colour. The story at the bottom is well highlighted, making it an main subject in the magazine.
Althought the title implies this is intellectual because it is a college magazine it connotes and element of art and fun with my chosen subject painting the title on with the splashes of paint highlighted in the background.

I think how my main image is quirky and realistically done. I like how making it black and white creates more if an impact enabling what I want to stand out actually stand out clearer then if it was all in colour.
However, it was diffucult to pick appropriate font and colour, although I found white worked best.

Through creating the front cover on photoshop I think i've learned more skills on how to use it. I think I have a good grasp on the layers and how they work, as well as how to create, learn and layout a magazine.
