college magazine evaluation

In my opinion I think that the photography and masthead went well. At first I had to change my front cover image because it was too stretched out and it was a extreme close up which made it look odd.so I resolved this by taking a medium shot which I found looks a lot better than just extreme close up. The masthead is clear and easy to read advertising my magazine very well I chose the colour white because it is simple and easy to read against the background of the brickwall.my font size was consistent on the front cover and contents page. The layout of my contents page went well everything was in line and neatly ordered text on one side images on the other. Sub heading and page number were included which made it easier to read. The feedback suggested that I needed to include a bar code and price, and also more cover lines as for my contents page. Further feedback suggested that I needed more colour and a range of texts on my contents page. Overall I think it was good but there are still a few things to work on and change when doing my music magazine. My three key points for development would be to research carefully what kind of cover lines that i am going to include in my music magazine so they fit my genre. Also to think carefully about my overall layout so it is appealing to the eye but clear and easy to read. Finally I would think carefully about how my model is going to pose so it is striking and unique as this would fit in with my music magazine. For my contents page I will chose a colour scheme that is effective and fits in with the target audience as my college magazine contents page was dull and lacked colour. I will also develop my layout so it looks quirky and different because my college magazine contents page was fairly basic and not very daring.
