Front Cover Editing For Magazine 

The image being used for the front cover of the magazine, was edited with an inner and outer glow, to make the image stand out more, by giving it a more up to life preset. This will be effective to my audience, as the brighter colours. It also shows that the magazine and the sport snooker it self has life to it.

The Masthead for the magazine is in a shade of light blue, with a red board behind it. The reason why i picked to have the red and blue masthead for the magazine was to have it link to the snooker balls, as most are red, which is why most is filled with red, along with the blue linking to the blue snooker ball. 

The cover image featured on the the front cover of the magazine, features an image that will give us a preview of what is to come on the magazine later on. This done to widen the interest of the reader to make them read further into the magazine. 

The sell line for the magazine is following the colour scheme put out for the magazine by having the green, red and blue. The sell line contains the main contents that will feature what the audience will want the most. 

The Banner of the magazine is also in a lime green to match with the snooker table and the added inner glow. The banner tells us the year the magazine will be produced (2024). The reason why i kept the UK SNOOKER in the middle of the banner the same colour of the masthead is to keep linking words and details back to the colour scheme picked. 

Response of feedback

I will add more contents to the front of the magazines, that will sell the magazine to my audience, I could add a pull line that includes something to do with a rhetorical question related to the impact of women and how their popularity is increasing. Change the colour of the the sell line "Pubs snooker why is it Popular".

 The reason why i have added the the sell line for the rise in women to be in black and red, is because I want it stand out to the rest, as it is something different to what is mostly said around Snooker and Pool. This will increase my chances of women reading the magazine and feeling included.  

What I like about my front cover for the magazine is how I have designed the masthead, as the use of 3D and the stroke really makes a difference on what the masthead could have ended up looking like if I was to not use the 3D tool and the edits done to the masthead. However, what I don't like is the outlines on the sell lines, as it makes it look cheap and not done properly, if I was to use the fill option that could make the  magazine look more professional. 

Double Page Spread

The images here are the latest versions of my front cover, and my dps.  The reason why I changed the colours, was because I believed there was too much green on my front cover and made  it look messy. 

Also, the double page spread will continue to be changed, as I am still not certain on the colours being presented. 

What I like about the latest version of my double page spread is how I have managed to add in the photos that I planned on using, along with the strong bold headline of the double page spread, that stands out to the rest of the double spread as a whole. However, I don't like the use of dark colours I have used for the background, as it could make some people who are reading the magazine, not feel as much joy due to how ere it looks. 

What I like about the contents page on the magazine is the masthead and the background photo. The reason why I like the masthead on the contents page is due to how I have managed to make it looks similar to the masthead on the front cover, and how it just stands out to the rest. The reason why I like the close up of the triangle formation for snooker is due to how the light reflects of the snooker balls along with reflection. However, I do not like the text, as I feel like there is not enough detail on the back, along with the colour of the text as I had no choice but to use white. 

The images here are the different versions of the masthead that was used on each version of the magazine. The images show the start of the masthead and how it improved over time. For example, the first image are both dark colours which people would fail to see from a distance. Compared to my last one, which consists of both light and dark, along with an outline on UK SNOOKER to make it stand out more.

Why is the last one better?

The reason why I picked to add the last masthead, is because the style and editing done on the masthead, is more unique and stands out more than the others. The reason why it stands out, is because the colour brightness on the masthead is in a bright blue colour while having a dark blue outline around it to make the masthead brighter. Also, the rectangle used behind UK SNOOKER, was kept dark red, but was later adapted with a bright red inner glow. This gives the masthead a more modern vibe and creative aspect along with it, which could potentially draw in the audience and influence other future work.
