Evaluation of magazine

i started my magazine on Adobe inDesign, i decide to base my magazine on the student president and use this as my main image of one of the runners for president Lucy Acliffe. then i had other tag lines such as freshers which is a main event done by college, that most students go to, so tiring this to my magazine would draw the audience in as it something they are interested in. My Masthead it italic and block yellow so it stands out and catches the readers eye and draws them in. I decided to do a tag line to make it different to other college newspapers by using a short and snappy line. All my writing is in yellow as it is a bold colour so it stands out and makes a statement, using only the main stories on the front cover to make it look interesting and make the reader want to read it.

My over all magazine i think is good but i would of changed the colour of the image to black and white so the writing would stand out more and would of been a better design. i handed my magazine out to my art class to see the reaction of the target audience and they all said it was good but had some interesting feedback. to improve my magazine i would of also of gone round and done a survey on what students would like to read about so i had more of an idea of what my main tag lines would have been. and also if i had more time i would of like to of done a contrasting magazine for boys and then for girls in college so they could of two seperate designs.

My Final contents page i based on the main features and choose to have the layout of the mast head up the side to make it different from having it on the top. the main features are down the side with there news flashes in purple as it is a contrasting to the yellow background then using black i wrote the a tag line from the article to show the reader it bit about each article. Having the image at the bottom of the page draws the reader to read all the page as it is at the bottom. to improve my contents page i would use individual pictures under each tag line so the reader can see more about each article.
