College magzine front cover evaluation


This is the front cover of the college magazine that i have created. The title of the magazine is a very important part of any magazine as this is what attracts the reader to come and look at your magazine. A bad name that is not relevant to the magazine will not make people read it but vice versa then they would be more likely to read it if it had a relevant name. I have decided to name my magazine “wassup” as i feel that this has a relevant feel to what is in my magazine. Making the title relevant to my target audience was a big factor in order for it to work.
I have decided to include a issue number and date of publish in the top right hand corner to make the magazine look contemporary. However after I had finished I felt that this would be better suited in a different position other than the top right hand corner. This would be more suited in the bottom corner of either side of the magazine.
The headlines of the main pages that feature in my magazine I have decided to use the colour red for them as this is stands out from the main image as they are darker colours in the main image. The font that I have used is not a particular eye catching one, so if I were able to change anything then I would change the style of font that I have used to a more appealing one that would meet my target audience. With the feature pages I have added certain quotes that come from the pages in order to try and attract the audience to the magazine and to get them to pick up the magazine and read it. The font style of writing is different from the title of the feature page as this distinguishes between the page and the content of it. Also to emphasise this I have used the colour blue to separate the colour schemes.
I have decided to add a couple of pictures to the front cover aside from the main image. The pictures that I have added are relevant to the pages that they are about. For one of my pages I have added the Facebook logo instead of using the word Facebook as this is what the image is associated with and it is known worldwide.
Overall I feel that I have done a fairly good job. If I had more time then there are certain things that I would change that I have said above. Other than this I am relatively happy with my effort of a college magazine.
