Prelim Evaluation

What went well 

I thought my front cover went really well as I had used bright colours to help draw attention to the magazine, large text and particular fonts to make it clear to the audience, and used pictures related to the magazines topic. The contents also had pictures and objects around the actual text that were related which meant the readers would know what sort of things would be covered in the magazine, just by looking at the pictures. Plus as it was a school magazine, I thought I should include school related objects.

What I should improve on

I think to improve the front cover I would get more of my own images and make the relate to school in a different way rather than just people at school. The contents could of maybe been a bit more formal in how the pages and page numbers were put on the page, but not too formal that it doesn't suit the school look.

What I have learnt

I have learnt that having the right images for your front cover is important as they need to really relate to the magazines main topics, where as mine were just people around school. On the other hand, having the people around school makes the school look more welcoming. I also feel that too much pictures can make the contents or a page look cramped and so I would try not to include as many on a page unless I had too and put the best images in, perhaps slightly bigger as well.
