Development Diary Week 5
This week i focused on completing the first three front cover designs to try figure out which one i liked best for my final product. I had made the decision that the photograph where the diver was a long distance away would be the type of photo i would incorporate into my design. I have planned a dive for Sunday the 13th where i will be going to Capernwray Quarry to get some underwater shots of another diver. my plan for this weekend is to get as many photos as i can of different things to give myself plenty of different ways to make my product look good. The more photos i have the better because it gives me leverage on how i can make my magazine look nicer. I have another 3 weeks so i can experiment with different photos to see which on looks more professional and more like a magazine that someone would be interested in buying.
The next step for me is to create a double page spread for my magazine. The plan is to get a few photographs of the diving equipment i have used and section them out so that i talk about what the photograph is showing, how much it costs and what it does. I thought this would be a good idea to try and sell the equipment to new divers (and experienced divers). This is a good way of telling people what they need to look out for when going to a dive shop and if they are interested in learning a new hobby, how much roughly it would cost them to start. 
This type of magazine layout is great for new people to see what everything does and learn new things about the kit they are about to use. This will be a type of design i will incorporate into my final double page spread. Its well laid out and clearly sectioned out. The text boxes are next to the images they are talking about and it's also very clear what they say about the equipment. The front of the magazine is also quite nice with the main image placed at the right of the page with a nice contrasting text colour for the title. The text in both yellow and white stand out against the blue background and is really eye catching to a person who might be walking by. This is a great way to advertise the product of the magazine and influence people into diving at the same time.
