TRYING OUT MY COVER PAGE LAYOUT

 I wanted to see if my selected cover image would be able to look good and manage to adjust well on my  rough mock up sketch that I had made a while ago for my main magazines cover page. It was hard to shortlist one from two cover pictures to be really honest, but I had to.

SKETCHES AND ROUGH MOCKUPS

 To start with the making of the magazine and moving on to working on the software, all I needed was firstly to make a rough sketch of how I would actually design the cover in regard to the placements and the heading etc. Then I also decided to roughly sketch the double spread too. Here is how i roughly sketched my magazine elements featuring all the components of a magazine to make it look appealing to the audience.

Instead I planned to do it on a weekend when I would start the shoot early.   -Saturday 12th March. 11am- 1pm This was the day and time I initially planned my shoot but unfortunately the weather was unfavorable and it rained too, which led me to having to delay my dates.  -Sunday 13th March I did my shoot on this day on the same timings, I had a broad daylight and the weather worked in my favor too.
