Magazine Cover 3

Third, and final version of my magazine cover.

Magazine cover

This is another possible idea of my magazine cover.

Cover of magazine

This lesson I tried another version of my cover. I cut off a part of picture and change the background. I also move a picture more to the left side, so there is moe space for titles. At home I will finish Masthead and titles.

Magazine Cover-draft

So this is my first idea of my magazine cover.

Semiotics of image

The semiotics of images is the literal meaning of the purpose (denotation) and what you perceive it to be (connotation). Image should ,,speak'' to a people, and capture him. Because it will be a school magazine, on my cover will be two students in uniforms, laughing, and one of them do a funny gesture. It show that school is not only about learning, but we can also have a fun.

Cover Image

On my cover magazine are two students from our school. They are laughing. One of them is looking to the camera, and the second one is looking away. At the background will be part of classroom, as a natural part of school, or I'll do some colour background, I didn't decide yet. I took the the photo from eyeline, because there is one gesture, and it wouldn't be seen frmo another angle. They are wearing school uniforms with ties, one of them wear glasses. Headline will be Learn for Life, because we learn in school. The photo will be in the middle, and where will be a space, there will be a title. At the bottom of the page will be school logo. I won't use any special effect, except the background, maybe.

Genre Conventions

I think, that genre conventions is a tzpical trope of plot, character, icon, or in case of magazine, theme, or effect. Interesting is, that similiar form has alwazs magazines, which write about same topics. For example, fashion magazines have big masthead at the top of site, on the picture is alwazs fashion icon or actress, and headlines are alwayz placed at the same place. Lots of student copz it at their school magazines, I did it too. It's easy, and there is no mess in it. But I noticed, that some students made very chaotic covers. In some cases thez arranged it verz well, so it look cool. But at some covers were such a mess, that some words I couldn't read, because it was unsiutablz placed, or used the wrong colour.

Semiotics and school Magazine names

Semiotics are the literal meaning of my magazine names ‘denotation’and the explanation behind what these names mean is the ‘connotation’. Here are few of my ideas. Rockstar- Simple name, nothing special. It relates with music, so...

BHS puzzles-BHS for Biddulph High School, and puzzles because they are at the logo of school.

Staff. News-Staff for Staffordshire, and staff as a things. News, because the school magazine should print new from the music world.

BHS Stars-I decided for name BHS Stars. BHS for Bidullph High School Stars. Because it is a music magazine, and that's what the magazine will write about.

Layouts

A few layouts for my school  magazine...

Masthead is awry, because it is unusual. School logo is in the corner, because it is not so important as Masthead{but it is important, of course} Main title should be noticeable, so I put it in the left upper corner. The rest of site fill titles of another artictle. 

At this layout, I put Masthead to the down part of site. Photo or picture doesn't take whole page, so there is more space for titles. Main title is again in left upper corner, and below are another titles. School logo is located in left upper corner, above the main title.

Third layout is almost same as the first one. But Masthead isn't awry, but is typically on a top of site. School logo is again in the right corner. Lots of space occupy main title.

Music Magazine

So, we are making School Music Magazine..The name of my magazine will be BHS Stars.. As Bdullph High School Stars. Because it is a music magazine, and who is making music? Stars. Yop, that's right...
