construction of my front page

using in design I began by placing my banner and my picture in my desired position, this allowed me to plan ahead about exactly where I was going to place each piece of text. I then went on to begin placing the different texts in the area which I wanted (this was already planned by my draft drawings). As I was placing the different texts in the right places, I was playing around with the sizes, making sure each piece of text was alligned with the previous piece of text, at this point I decided I was colour leave choosing colour schemes until later.

After all the text had been placed in their correct places. I then started playing around with the colour scheme, in order to keep the different oclours from looking to ridiculous I had to make sure that I stuck to about three or four different colours to avoid it looking like too much colour on one page.

To finish off I added the star along with the text promoting the “competition”. My vision for this was to make it stand out more than any other text on the page, I wanted it to be the first thing they saw, so, with the colour scheme in mind which is why I gave the star a yellow background (because it matched with the school shirt of the model) and gave the actual text the colour of the banner name. I then finally added a barcode in order to make it look lik ea realistic magazine and addeda date.
