How I created a title for my A2 Level print ancillary taskTRANSCRIPT
Magazine Title
Title
• I think of the cinema as a form of escape, however the title ‘Escape’ is used by Cineworld’s magazine
• I searched synonyms of escape and found:-
avoidance, break, breakout, bypass, departure, desertion, disappearance, dodging, ducking, elusion, evasion, extrication, flight, freedom, liberation, outbreak, release, rescue, retreat, shunning, sidestepping, slip, withdrawal
Outbreak
• I thought Outbreak was the best of these I designed this using Microsoft Publisher
• I thought this looked too much like a travel magazine and started thinking of more technological words
• Font used: super black SF
Technological
I thought ‘Technicolour’ was a good
choice for a film magazine as it sounds
inviting and vivid, but is denoted to
technology and therefore makes the
magazine sound inviting
Looked through several fonts, below:
Fonts
• Decided on Adventurer Light SF
• Looks:
- Retro
- Technological
- Interesting
- Uncommon
- Simple
All these characteristics made it suitable
Colours
• Too bright
• Irrelevant to the
theme of the
magazine
• Distracting
• Hard to read
Colours
I liked this colour:
• clear
• Simple
• Not too bright
Pink
• When I highlighted the text to change
the colour, I thought a pink colour
would look good- so I recreated it
• Thought the black strip was too dark
Height
• Capitalised it to make lettering have
more of an impact
• Needed more height, the text looked
too flat
Spacing
• I preferred the taller one, however as it
is a font with gaps, I think the letters
need more space between, so the title
can be easily read
Layering
• I went to make a copy of the text and
the copy landed:
• I decided to combine this with the
green colour I had experimented with
before
Layering Colours
• Made the green brighter
• Then wondered what it would look like
if I added other colours
• I thought this was very effective
Feedback
• I asked my target audience which
they preferred
