Step 1: Over my years as a student I have become familiar with all of the computer programmes we use regularly and notice that isn’t as easy to improve image in Microsoft word as it is in either Microsoft Publisher or PowerPoint therefore I decided to use Microsoft Publisher when putting my logo together using a second page on the same document when putting my logo together. The first thing I needed to decide on was what shape would go around my logo as a circle and square were common shapes and it took me a while to decide.
Step 2: I was unsure what the main feature of my logo would be. I had already decided on the surrounding image but I didn’t have any idea what I was going to include inside. I started to think that the whole of the magazine would be about music and what items were associated with it, it was then that I had the idea to have a music note as my logo.
To begin with I was pleased with this but as I did a little more research I began to think it was a little plain, instead I started to think of different instruments used in the genre of music I have chosen which is Rock and R&B and immediately thought of a guitar, as it is rock i thought an electric guitar would be more likely than an acoustic as it would emphasise the music and give the loud sounds associated with rock therefore I started looking for images and found the following.
I believe it was simply look that led me to this image as it is the same colours as the colour scheme chosen for my magazine.Step 3: After settling on a centre image I began to wonder if the image needed a surrounding shape.
I thought that the style of the image looking unusual with the diamond around it and therefore decided not to use it and just use the image of the guitar.This resulted in a front cover with a very noticeable and unique logo which is something I was aiming and for and something I have succeeded in getting.
