colours

When making the school publication I has to pay close attention to the background colour as this can attract different types of audiences, the blue was quite calming, normally for mature audiences , the red colour is very striking and would get the attention of people but I found it was a little too much on the eyes.

coloursNext I tried pink , I found that this colour would be more appalling to younger female audiences which could cause a problem for me as I want to applies to both boys and girls. I then tried the brown colour but it did not look very applying to me, the colour was too strong.

I wanted to try a different texture then just using the fading out colour, so I chose a paper grainy texture, I thought this would look perfect as its quite a neutral colour, it doesn't stand out very much but I thought it would be good to have the background colour not too strong so I could work with the colours of the text and outlines and make them stand out

I then tried to change the colour of the outlines to see if I should make them stand out or go with the brownish background

I tried to go with the yellow outline, it did make it look very nice and it did make the boxes stand out more

I tried to use different colours to see what it would look like, I thought the green colour was too pungent and did not look Appling

I picked the next colour as pink but the brownish background did not mix well with the pink outlines.

I then decided to make the outlines colour as brown to match the colour scheme.

I needed to choose the most suitable font for the masthead, because I don’t want the font to look to cartoonish or too much like a real news paper cover.I tried a Varity of different fonts.

I thought that this text font was very hard to read also this type of font is used for circus posters so it would send the wrong impression

I though that this text was quite appalling and was simple, however it was too simplistic and did not stand out enough

This text was hard to read and was not very appealing due to both the caps and under caps letter being the same.

I had to choose between these two fonts, I thought this font was the best because it was nice and bold, it stood out and looked mature.

I very much liked this text font as its simple and stands out however this is the default font you would get when typing, because of this I thought it would look too generic.

At first glace the front cover looked bland, no colours were really attraction me so I took the opportunity to make the colour at the top to make it eye catching. The first colour I used was yellow but it stood out too much, the brownish colour and yellow did not go well together.

I then tried a safer colour with grey, but it looked too boring and did not stand out at all.

I thought this light aqua was perfect , it stands out and it bends well with the brownish back ground, the School name stand stands out and its an eye catching colour.

Algerian is the name of the text I used for the smaller text, It looks way to fancy and would be hard to read because its small print

Brush Script Std looks too fancy, the text is too cramped and would not suit a school publication.

Comic Sans MS Would work but it would not appeal to older audiences so I had to change it.

Corbel was prefect because it was not too rounded or to defined it. This is the font style I choose.
