Contents pages


The Q Magazine contents page is fairly basic. the simple text box and list of page numbers and features makes it easy to read and look up certain topics. it i not over crowded and the use of this and only a small colour scheme is a good idea as contents pages in magazine are usually kept clean and fuss free. the main attraction point of this issue is shown by the large picture of the band which is alson the focal point of the page. i like the way the text is bordered round the photo.

Other house style ideas


i wanted to add more variety to my ideas of house style, just in case the ones i already had didn't quite work out for me. this collage includes more photos, because i want my magazine to have quite a fresh fashionable feel and these images keep this in mind.

Final Charity Advert Design

This my final design for a charity advert. i decided to do one for child line, and my message is for people to be more
aware of the pain children suffer in silence and do not tell anyone. the message is towards everyone but children in particular.
I am quite pleased with this final design. i like the way i have edited the photo to look quite simple but meaningful at the same time. i also like the use of scrabble tiles in a jumbled order for my wording. it gives a child like feel to the whole advert.
i think if i was to improve anything, i would add colour to the Scrabble tiles so to lighten the whole thing to give a feel of hope, or red for warning and to also make the whole thing more eye catching.

Poster emulation


i think this advert i have created is quite effective. the close up image of the girls face highlights her smudges makeup, wide eyed drunken look. the use of bright colours are eye catching and the skin seems almost luminous. the captions " you wouldn't leave the house like this.. why why come home like this?" is simple but gets someone thinking about how they should be careful about their intake of alcohol. i then included a drinkaware.ie logo at the bottom to highlight what campaign this advert is supporting.
