In this magazine cover that i made, it is based on the school's basketball team. The majority of the school tends to lean towards playing basketball than any other sport. So thats why i decided to go with a sporty theme.

So on the front cover, i decided to make the masthead blue because the basketball team is called the Blue Dragons. It has a reflection effect to make it look like it has a mirror image on the floor. The slogan is 'More than just education'. It sounds good and it makes it sound like there is more to learning in school, not only will we receive education but we will get to experience being in a basketball team.

The main image is a shirtless person holding on to a basketball. The reason he is not wearing a shirt is to show off the physique that he has from basketball training. Its only one half of him because its to show one side of him is basketball and the other half is about school. The reflection of the sun around his eye is to show that like he is a gift from god and that he is really good in basketball. The basketball hoop is beside his head to show that basketball is on his mind all day everyday.

The mode of address is that he is staring at us at and equal level. To show that even though he is a leader he is willing to face anyone that challenges him.

The anchorage text is suppose to grabs the attention of the reader because Traill's basketball fans know that since there's a lot of phillipine players in the team, everyone is trying to be the best and the leader so with Marc saying that how he feels like he is the leader with the quote of him working the hardest.

I think i did pretty good for my first try. However, i finished this front cover in like 30 minutes. How i would improve it is that i would choose the right fonts for the text because as we can see, the out line of the texts are pretty think and are unclear. I would spend longer time experimenting with my fonts and colors. I would be like the modern Pablo Picasso on magazine.
