College Magazine Evaluation

Process
For the cover page of college magazine I made it on Photoshop with this I wanted to achieve a good example of a front cover of a college magazine by doing this I had to look at other college magazines looking at their layout and conventions that they have used and I try to add that to my own college magazine. For the front cover I had to add the masthead and the cover lines, I learnt that the main story in the magazine has to relate to the image and needs to be the biggest out of all the other cover lines. but not as big as the masthead. I made the contents page on In Design I wanted to achieve a good contents page by giving it a main image and a smaller image making it have two columns, the picture of the sports hall was not that great and i know what i need to improve on when it comes to the music magazine.
Self evaluate
Good

• The layout: the use of cover lines, the way I have made some cover lines bigger and some smaller this is good because the main story stands out more. The masthead stands out very well and is very clear.
• The colour scheme: The colour of the text stands out very well on the image. The background is green.

Peer evaluation

Front cover

Usman : date and issue not clear
               "talking about" not clear

Aron: Good: I liked the layout of the front cover and also the colours that have been used as well
           Bad:   The only thing i don't like is that some of the words it not clear

Contents page 

Hafsa : Good: I like the colour scheme i think it works well for a student magazine.

              Bad: you have a bit too much white and looks a bit boring.

I am going to take these comments on board and apply it to my final outcome which will be the music magazine. I will choose a better colour scheme because that was one of my main feed backs that i got that was negative. and also to change the pricing so it looks more prfessional.
