  Magazine practical production: tasks Create a blogpost called ' Magazine practical task research and planning ' and complete the following tasks: Research 1) Use Google to research potential magazines that you could use as your brand/design for this project.  Create a shortlist of  three  potential magazines and upload an example front cover from each one. We recommend looking at lifestyle magazines or a similar genre as these are more achievable to re-create.                                                                     2) Choose  one  of the three magazine brands to use for your project e.g. GQ, Vogue or The Gentlewoman.

The magazine itself is clearly recognisable – your production does not stand out massively alongside other Gentlewoman front covers which is a good sign. Your main image – both in terms of the of the initial photoshoot and your Photoshop editing afterwards – is very strong so the challenge now is adding the professional design touches to open up the A*-B grades.   EBI: When deconstructing your cover in some detail, there are a few key areas we can improve on for our real coursework next year. Firstly, font and typography is crucial – you have used a slightly different font for your cover which changes the tone/style of the magazine. Your font loses a bit of the sophistication that the Gentlewoman is trying to convey. Along similar lines, text positioning isn’t quite p...
