College Magazine Evaluation

College Magazine Front Cover

My front cover was made using a software known as Adobe Photoshop. I used this software which allowed me to create a professional looking front cover. I used many tools such as the brightening tool I also used the paintbrush tool which allowed me to to add colours so that my background doesn't look too messy. I also used shapes and text to create cover lines and flashes.

One thing I like about my front cover is that there is a common colour scheme which makes it look consistent.

Three things I would improve:
1) I would improve the background of the original image so that it doesn't look so busy and take the       reader's attention away from the actual magazine.
2) I would also change the layout as the cover lines and the flashes are  not placed in an orderly               fashion which makes the magazines difficult to understand for the readers.
3) I would also add a date to show when the magazine was released.

College Magazine Contents Page

My contents page was made using Adobe InDesign. I used this software as it allowed me to create a contents page which looked as realistic as possible. I was able to use different images and colours which helped my contents page look attractive.

One thing I like about my contents page is the image because it linked with the genre which allowed my front cover and contents page link.

Three things I would improve:
1) I would improve the text as they are not consistent which makes my magazine look unprofessional.
2) I would also change the colour scheme as nothing looks linked.
3) Another thing I would change is the layout. I would prefer to make my contents page portrait so         that there is less blank spaces this will make sure my contents page does not look too plain.

This is a brief design of my music magazine. I created this using the software which is known as Photoshop. The software provided me with a range of tools and fonts to create this brief cover. I have added the price, a title, a issue number and a barcode to make it look as realistic as possible.
