Front cover evaluation

 

For my preliminary task, I was asked to produce a Magazine front cover and a contents page for a new collee magazine. I believe that i have been successful with creating my front cover although i do feel that i could improve on a number of things that I would then adapt to, to help my music magazine look a lot better and more presentable. I have used a variety of features in my front cover that relate to my questionnaire I produced to find out different hobbies and interests that my media class enjoy. This aloud me to advertise the interests that were the most popular, to make my magazine exciting for students to read. I used a variety of colour and fonts to make each feature contrast against each other. I decided to use a plain background so that any text or images would stand out alot more bolder and also more clear to read. I think I was successful doing this because it allows the text to look more exciting. Although, if i was to improve on this, I would keep the plain  backgound but use the colour white, to make my images and text look more bright and bigger. I would also stick to a certain range of colour scheme instead of different colours, to keep the consist house style that I can refer to in my magazine. I would also add alot more pictures to my front cover that relates to the advertised features so that the audience have an idea on who or what the feature presents. I feel there is a lot of empty spaces on my front cover so if i was to improve then I would make sure my page is packed with lots of exciting bright features and relative images. One of the main things that I feel have success with is the barcode that I created in the bottom right corner because I have stuck to the rule of no images from the internet so i created it myself on Publisher.
