First draft of the cover:

First attempt at the front cover of the magazine. I used an image from google and added effects onto it via Photoshop. I then added more layers of which were text layers to attract the audience. I like how a human is holding the earth in his hand on this image (taken from google images). It sort of gives of a sense that the earth is ours, and we should look after it,

I also like how i've used the lens flare effect coming from the earth, as if the sun is behind it.

I used a starry background to represent the universe around the earth, and because the background is quite dark, i then used light contrasting colours for the text.

I like this front cover although it only says 'natural disasters', it doesn't show any. Which to me, isn't quite interesting. This is why i chose to create another cover, a cover which shows the audience what the magazine is about inside.

Research:

75% of the children i surveyed would like not like glossary in the back of the magazine, to help them understand the key words used through-out the magazine i am creating, for my extended project.
However,251% of the children surveyed would have liked to have a glossary, but there was more no's than yes's.. so there will not be one in the magazine, as this is what the target audience wants.
