My Review of my Student Weekly Magazine Cover & Contents

My Review of my Student Weekly Magazine Cover & Contents

Strengths:

·         The photo of the model I took was clear, and not blurred or pixilated, and there was good light on the model too

·         The texts on the cover and contents appear professional, stand-out against one-another, and generally blend with each other

·         The sizes of the texts seem appropriate as they distinguish well, you can clearly tell which is the: masthead; subtitles; headers; and information

·         In the magazine I included a lot of generic information, for example the barcode or the copyright on the contents

·         The model – Chris – has got a bag on, and holding books which gives an idea of a school environment

·         Throughout the magazine I kept a generally house style of: square shapes; bold text; and those colours: Mantis Green; Grey/Black; and White

Weaknesses:

·         Even though the photo was clear I feel like I may be able to take a better photo with better composition, just generally closer to the model

·         Beneath the banner I feel as if the room there is wasteful, even though it give the magazine space from all the text I feel as if it would have been better with more there

·         My cover isn’t very organised as everything is dotted around on the page

·         On the contents, I’ve noticed that the page numbers are slightly different sizes and if I had more time I could correct the sizes
