The back cover was needed just to make it all come to an end. I did alter this quite a bit because I wanted to make sure I was ending it on the right message.

this below was the first design and I didn’t actually have a link to the LFB website and thats pretty much where I gathered all my information from and collected the research and I wanted the kids to be able to connect to this quickly and find out more information if needed be. so for a while this was the front cover but I altered it to end on the right message.

final design:

Due to there being a minimalistic theme throughout this design I felt like I had to continue that throughout. So I decided to start the back of the magazine of with the link to the LFB website and to continue the theme – on each page below the number I added the yellow and red lines to link with the idea of fire and their service and I think people associate these colours with them quite well. Therefore to showcase the continuation throughout I decided to add the two lines underneath this to make it stand out and show a connection through the designs – this also allowed the type to have a bit more structure otherwise it was very randomly placed. I then thought because this entire thing is for LFB I wanted to showcase their logo like I did at the beginning to show its all part of same design. Underneath I then added what was on their website for when people want to communicate with them – or how to reach them and they sit in black and red type. I could of just left it like that but I wanted to add an image due to the target audience I felt without an image it was such a boring design and too simple, by adding this image of a fire fighter (jack) in the gear near a fire truck to me represented them well as an overall and great way to end the magazine.

the mock up for this is slightly different purely because its the end of the book so no double page spread needs to be displayed.

here is the simple mock up:

I decided to create a mock up like this just to show what it would look like if they were stacked and handed out like this to schools.
