Title Page Draft

During the process of developing this magazine, there was lots of adversity, especially with the computer program, Publisher, and the layout of the pages. It took ample amounts of continous time to change and fix each issue that came up (freezing, image sizing and placing, and formatting each piece of text into the text boxes). Thus, the drafts of each page and the step by step process as we went along is not given. However, here is the overall procedure of making the front cover. As I started the front cover of the magazine, I already knew I wanted a large, appealing image that will pop out to kids, and I also wanted to use bright colors. These ideas were based off the front cover analysis I completed on the scholastic magazines. Dylan and I came up with the title, Teen Science. We chose this to keep the title short and sweet, yet maintain the importance that this magazine is science-based and targeted specifically towards teens. My issue is the chemistry edition so I typed that out under the title. Then, I chose to use word art for the main article title on the front cover in order to make it pop, just like the photo. This will get the readers attention and make them want to search the magazine for this article. I typed out a brief explanation of what the article entails, making sure not to explain too much, as that is what the reader is for. The photo chosen depicts hands cupped around the Earth, while its water is swaying back and forth. I chose this photo as it is a perfect example of desalination, which is the main article in this issue of the magazine.
