Evaluation
This is a analytical response to my college magazine designs. Having researched the codes and conventions of many different genre of magazine, I produced a front cover design and contents page design in relation to what I researched into. I feel that my magazine design has not only been influenced by other magazines, but also through the association with colour regarding a general magazine scheme.
My overall response to the design of my front cover is that I feel it relates to the codes and conventions to the magazines that I researched and that it conveys its meaning through the choice of main cover lines and use of image. However if i had to add an improvement to the design of front cover I think I would of chosen a colour basis that represented the college itself in this case this would be green and blue to represent the colour of Southdown's College logo.
My reflective response to the design of my contents page is that I think it looks very basic and simple but includes topics of interest. The photo I used was of same similarity to my cover design although the student had a completely different style to her, this therefore gave this idea that a college magazine is for everyone. The colours were themed through my cover design and this would of been an improvement, (using colours that relate to Southdown's)
As well as colour improvement, I would of improved the placing of text and shape on my contents page and make sure that it didn't shape the student and make the photo more of a focus rather than the magazines content.
