Blog Post #11: Preliminary Task: Cover Page Explanation

-

 Hi, I'm glad that you're back!

In this blog, I'll be going in depth about my previous blog.





To start off, the title "Girly Co." is what I intend on naming my potential blog/magazine. So, I decided to implement it for the preliminary task. I obtained the hard hat image from the internet & the idea behind the pink hardhats is that, since this is a female owned magazine, I decided that this image would speak for "Girly Co." & what it stands for. Also, I went with the pink & neon yellow color scheme because, I like the color pink & the yellow was implemented to add an extra pop of color.


Additional details:

 ♡ Masthead

♡ Main Image

♡ Strapline

♡ Main Cover line

♡ Color Scheme

♡ Personalized House Style


When creating this cover, I didn't have many issues other than the hard hat image appearing as pixel & finding the font that fits my magazine. The house style of this cover includes a color scheme of bright colors. I wanted it to appear as an upbeat & classy magazine while trying to implement mise en scene. The masthead is in a big, horizon outlined font & it adds a fun, bold touch. Also, the target audience is meant for teens & adults that are familiar with these women that are in the public eye. Overall, the process was enjoyable & it was great to get the experience of doing editorial work.

Evaluation CCR1 video link: https://youtu.be/Pi_skDjaP0s Hello, my name is Felixia Francis. Today I will be answering compulsory question one. This is for my AICE Media studies Cambridge AS level course.  Compulsory question 1 asks 'How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issue?' My magazine follows the basic conventional Rules and Guidelines of a standard magazine, amongst other things it includes a masthead, a tagline, a coverline, a cover image, a barcode, an issue number and date. In order to gain inspiration for my magazine, I followed the example of various fashion magazines that inspired me such as Vogue, Teen Vogue & Essence.       For the cover page conventions, the first thing you notice is the masthead, the masthead is the title of the magazine & it is also in the biggest font with the sole purpose of standing out. My Masthead is Girly Co. which is not only in the biggest font of the entire magazine, but i
