This is the college magazine front cover that i designed using Adobe photoshop CS3.
Strengths:
- The colours i used blend in with each other and look well prsented on the page. As the front cover is colourful this is good as it means that it can attract the reader's attention and hopefully make them wnat to read it.
- My photoshoping skills helped as the main image is in focus and looks well presented. Also the front cover looks well structured with a consistant style not too busy.
- The mise-en-scene on the front cover image all relates to college life, therefore showing that i thouroughly thought about what type of magazine i was making and who my target audience were.
Weaknesses:
- The masthead goes over the head of the person in my main image. This is a weakness as it could across as a magazine that doesnt really consider the importance of the students that attend the college. It would've been much better if the masthead was behind her head, however due to my photoshoping skills i did not know how to edit my piece of work to that exent.
- Another weakness is the person i photographed for the front cover is wearing a multicoloured top. This limited the amount of colours i could use as most colours clashed with the coulours on her top.
- The fact some of the colours on the top of the girl i photographed clash with alot of the font colours, some of the words cannot be clearly seen, especially with the coverline that says 'Advice and Support'.
Strengths
- The contents page is quite colourful which is good as it can capture the reader's attention.
- The main image i used is good as it in focus and appears to be edited quite well.
Weaknesses
- As it has a simple layout, the reader's may not be as excited to keep reading it as it's quite straightforward and not as busy
- As some of the colours i used for my contents blend in with the background, it would have been better if they were a diffrernt colour or even if i used a a different text style so the colours do not appear to clash.
