The digital media period two class was assigned to design our own magazine cover. The steps to create this project was to 1. Design on your communication objective. 2. Decide on your target audience. 3. The visual. 4. Choose your own headline. 5. Develop your layout and just a helpful tip on some mistakes to avoid.... This was kind of complicated to me at first, because I didn't know anything about computers and it was all new. Although as the days went by the steps were sinking into my brain and I was able to understand.
My magazine is the size of one piece of copy paper. It says COSMO GIRL on the top as my magazine cover title with my picture located on the side of the page and other topics and saying of my own posted for teens and anyone else who would read it. All the colors symbol each other within everything in the picture. Like in my shirt it has a red flower and I used red headlining to bring out the red in the flower. My background is blue so it has a very outstanding view of everything else around it.
There wasn't a specific topic my magazine was based upon I just tried my best and used different techniques to try and capture my audiences attention. The different topics I chose were unique and i though they might of captured the readers attention.
Looking a the rubric I think I did ok. I was away from school on vacation for a week so it really took time away from this project which really didn't help me out at all. Although I was late one the assignment I was willing to try to get it done and I think I did god for it to me my first time working with a project like this. A better thing that I could have done was give a little more detail and maybe have used a prop and added more to my magazine cover, but i am satisfied with myself that I atleast made something and completed something out of the ordinary new to me.
