Planning ideas for Sixth Form Magazine
Here are my ideas for the front cover of my Sixth Form Magazine including taking into consideration elements of Mise-en-scene:
The Masthead for my Sixth Form Magazine is FUSION which will dominate the left and middle top thirds in a black or deep navy blue serif font.
I also had other ideas for my Masthead such as;
- Imprint
- F.A.S.F
- 1.2.3
- Falli Fusion
- 6th print
- Fusion
Ideas for cover page;
- In the right top third of my cover is the issue number and date of my magazine which is vertical text.
- Underneath my Masthead , is a tag line 'Fallibroome's Fantastic, Fresh ,New 6th From Magazine'
- The cover line of 'WINTER BALL WONDER' dominates most of the bottom three thirds, with a short tag line underneath of 'Confused on what to wear'
- The image for the front cover is a medium close up of a girl predominantly place inn the right and center thirds.
- The costume, will be a formal dress such as for the winter ball , however the model will wear a bow tie as to relate to the story of 'Confused on what to wear' , the make up will be elegant to match the theme of the 'ball'. the models hair will be loose and flowing in an elegant style.
- Where as I also have another idea for the costume of having the model in a shirt and bow tie, with a tight black strapless dress pulled up to low chest line. This relates to the story of being 'confused on what to wear'
- The facial expression of the model will be looking confused.
- The back ground will be white to a light cream, to contrast against the dark front on models clothes.With some shadow from the model.
- The extra cover lines in the left third of the cover will in deep blues and light red fonts
- There will be a menu trip along the bottom thirds , advertising revision techniques and study skills.
- The Winter ball aspect as the main story in the magazine. The models costume will be black,white and may also have some blue to tie in with the cool contemporary colour scheme.
- Ideas on Winter ball fashion
- What to do after Sixth Form
- Ideas on music, movies etc.
- Driving lessons
- Revision techniques and study skills
Type faces for Masthead;
I chose FUSION as my magazine is a Sixth Form Magazine for school I also wanted to incorporate fashion, music, movies etc. into the magazine as if its a fusion of school and lifestyle.
These are some of the font ideas for my Masthead, I chose fonts that were Serfi and that looked like a collage/school type font, I chose fonts that were bold and that stand out for my Masthead. My three most favourite fonts from the ones above are;
 |
| 'Friday Night Lights' I like this font as it looks like a classic collage font, I like the white outline of the font and the effect of the font that seems like lights. |
 |
| 'Campus Relief' I like this font as the black bold outline makes the font stand out more, I like the drop shadow on the font. The font looks similar to classic collage fonts however I like it because it doesn't fully resemble a classic collage font. |
 |
'Retrohand' This is my favourite font out of the three fonts as I like the style of the font.I like the way it looks like some of the letters have been stitched together and look slightly jumbled up.
Colour Schemes;
For my colour scheme I wanted some simple colours like creams and then other colours that were bright and stand out. My favourite ones are the third one and the fifth one, as I like the third one as I like calm colours of the white and the cream/grey. I also like the brightness of the blue and the lilac as they stand out from the other colours. I like the fifth one because I like the lighter colours as they contrast against the light pink and deep red.  Ideas for the contents page;
