Further Adaption

When giving me feedback on my work, my media teacher suggested that I use a more imaginative method of showing text in my cover. Taking this point into consideration, I decided to insert some of the information in the form of a post-it-note. I arranged the image in such a way that it looked as though I simply stuck the post-it-note onto the page. I made this effect by bending the note before taking a picture of it and creating a shadow effect using Photoshop CS3. These effects both aided to making the image look more realistic and as though it was simply a note that a student had written to help keep themself organised. Of course when the viewer reads the post-it-note they will discover that it is in fact an extras box informing them about what is covered in that weeks issue of forti-6. I also completely re-did the design of the title of my magazine. As I earlier stated, the name I chose to stick with was forti-6 meaning Fortismere Sixth Form. The reasons for this is that my teacher informed me during my feedback that my previous title was too boring and uninventive. To improve this, I simply discarded the entire title including the transparent clock image that was situated behind the words 'student weekly' and started again with a new name, design and colour scheme. After another long process of trial and error, I came down to two options competing to be the final magazine cover of forti-6.
