planning & Research: Evalution of college magazine

EVALUATION:
 On my college magazine I used an appropriate font size for my masthead but my other writing on my front page was too big, and i should have made it smaller. I used a font size 29.63 when i should have been using about a 12. If I had another chance to re-do my magazine cover I would use a smaller font. I think my text size on my contents page was about right and was big enough to fill the page.

When I was planning which colours to use there was a three colour rule I had to take into account. In the end I decided to choose Blue and Red with bits of Black and White, this was actually 4 colours, but that was ok because Black and White aren't bright colours and therefor the 3 colour rule worked this time. If I was to do this task again I would have chose different colours, I would probably choose Purple and Yellow as these were the colours people liked most when we asked everybody.

 I think  that you can tell that the contents and cover pages are from the same magazine because they were the same colour's used on both pages, but the font wasn't, I should have chose the same font to match both pages, this would have made my magazine look better and give it more of a theme.

I believe that the medium close up photograph on my front page was well taken and appropriate, it was clear in the picture that the boy was in college and was a teenager, you can tell this through his face, his clothes and his earphones.

I think that my magazine is lacking in a few stories for my contents page and it would have been better if I had put on a few more, I think the stories are appropriate though. When I asked students from the college what they wanted to hear, I wrote down the stories and used them in my magazine so I think my stories are good.
