Magazine Cover lines and Expanders


These are my Cover Lines and Expanders that I will be using in my sport magazine. I have done these because they all have something to do with a sport and as my magazine title is 'Alsport!' I was able to include any sport I wanted.

Magazine Research




The magazines above are some magazines that I went out and look at and these were the some of the best designed magazines, so I chose these for my research as they are well designed and exactly what i am looking for.




These images above show me actually researching and looking for the magazines to see which are the well designed ones and also the ones that I could possibly use for my own design of magazine and actually going to see the magazines helps a lot with the visual image of the magazine.



These images above are screenshots from my pinterest and my magazine cover board showing all the other magazine covers that I have found that i believe have a god design and might be useful when i design my own cover.

Magazine Cover Title Ideas


These are all my ideas, above, for a magazine cover title to do with sport including; adjectives, terms and all different sports. Below are all the titles that I have thought of to have on the cover of my magazine. After all the titles that I thought of my final one is; Alsport!, I chose this because I wanted a sport magazine and couldn't choose one sport so I chose a title to do with sport in general.

John's awful business card.


Before

This design for a business card is Conflicting too much and this makes the business card very boring. This is because the fonts that have been used are too much alike which makes the design look too plain.

After


To make the business card better I got rid of the conflicting fonts and all the different alignments and replaced them with more contrasting fonts this makes the business card more appealing and interesting for the reader. I have also got rid of the three different alignments and only used one this makes the card a lot more simplistic.
