Evaluation of Preliminary task

I am please with the overall outcome of my college magazine. I feel the colour scheme yellow and blue work really well together and especially complement each other again the plain grey background. If i was to do it again i would change the colour of the puffs or of the text inside them to make the text easier to read and stand out more to catch the readers eye more as the writing would be clearer. The masthead is very clear and i like the colours of it as they are bold and exciting and fit in with the house style of the magazine. If i was to improve the masthead i would make all the writing fit on one line instead of breaking it up over two lines which would be even more eye-catching. The photograph of my model fits in well the theme. But i feel the photograph is not a clear as it could be. To improve this i am going to practice taking medium close up photos so i improve to make the photo quality clearer. I think the boarders at the bottom of the cover look really good as they are eye catching and easily show to the audience what type of things are in the magazine and also give and insight to the genre of the magazine.
