Front cover Construction Evidence

I began by blurring my main image,before I did this, I cut out the athlete. This blurred effect gives a look of speed.

I copied the athlete and placed her back where she was but not blurred. This gives the viewer the idea that she is running so fast that the background is blurred.

I began adding coverlines to my page to build a template to add other information. I carried across the lines either side of 'Advanced' onto my contents page for continuity.

Here I added a header and footer which gave my page a border like look. I added a barcode to fit with common codes and conventions of regional and international magazines. I have kept all of my fonts very similar yet used larger bold fonts for important information that I wanted to stand out. For example 'Why elites are different'

Here is my final front cover after looking at the page in detail, I realised that my text was all too close to thew edges of the page, because of this I had to use indesign to re-align everything on my page.












This is my final front cover, here, everything is aligned and looks proportionate. I am happy with this cover. The female on the cover relates to Laura Mulvey's theory of the male gaze. This is because she is wearing very little clothing, you could argue that is she is trying to draw attention by doing this, as she is on the front cover of a magazine and trying to sell it to customers, drawing male attention. However, I disagree that she is doing this because this is a typical outfit for female athletes on the track in summer.
