preliminary task

To show that i understand the basic ideas of a magazine cover and that i can use the programme that i will create my magazine with, i have done a preliminary task which is an example of a front cover of a magazine. 

I have created a front cover for a student magazine.

Criticisms of my front cover

- The first thing that i notice when looking at the cover is the clothes that the models are wearing. I think the problem is that the colours are juxtaposed with the light colour on the right and the dark on the left. I found that this was a problem for the colour of the font that i was using as I couldn't seem to find a colour that stood out on both of the background colours. 

-I think that the font is quite boring and it is a classical style. On my final design i will use a more modern font that will suit my target audience more and attract them to buy it.

-The overall colour of the front cover is quite dull. I think the colour pallet is cold and to make it look more interesting i I will use a warmer pallet and more bright and vibrant colours. 

- I think that the mast head would work better if it was included in the image, either behind it or over the top. This would be without the block colour behind it. 

- The capital letters make the magazine look formal, for this audience I think i would change it to make it seem more of a casual read.
