The flat plan for the front cover is good i think becuase the title is clear and bold which makes it stand out from others. the face on the front is large which is good becuase it makes it stand out and lets you know its about the students.

the contents page could be better becuase there way the articls are spaced out makes it look very small. i like the idea of the picture at the bottom becuase it makes the page a bit more visual and adds a bit of colour.

magazine cover and contents page evaluation.

My front cover is ok i think but could be better. i like the title and the font becuase i think it stands out. i also like the colour of the title becuase it adds to the boldness of it. The picture is good becuase it fits the whole page and lets you know its about the students and for the students. i dont like the way ive put the different extracts of text in because i think they look really out of place but i couldnt find anywhere better to put them.

Feedback:

jake:like the person in it. the title and the font and the colour. neutral picture. little text boxes

Dan: likes the pciture becuase he feels like jake is engaging with him becuase of the eye contact. likes the name of the magazine and the colour blue becuase it stands out and its the same colour as the college logo.

the contents page is very simple but its clear whats on what page so the reader will not have to be lookign for ages to find what there looking for. the heading is very clear at the top so its obvious what the page is about. i think the page is to basic and may look at bit boring. there is no colour so if i didnt a second draft i would defiantly add more colour. there would be a picture at the bottom of a group of students which i think adds a much needed bit of colour to the page and makes it look more interesting.the page numbers are clear and away from the other text so it is easy to see whats on what page.

Photograph evaluation.

I chose the picture on the right because its more central than the other. the bad one is at an angle and looks really rushed and would not be a good picture for a front cover of a magazine. He also has his hood up and eyes shut which looks like he was not ready to have his picture taken. Also in the good picture he is smiling and looks pretty happy which is a good for a front cover becuase it gives a good impression.
