Research and Planning-Evaluating My College Magazine

I think my magazine cover fits to criteria for appealing to college students, it contains a colour scheme that the college uses and also contains an image of a student in the college. I also think it looks clear and is easy to understand. I think the layout looks quite effective as all the key characteristics of a college magazine are inplace on it. The fonts used for the masthead are different than that of the story headlines and contents page. I think I used ICT well to create my design, I used InDesign. I used bold and clear text and also a large, central medium close up image on my cover. However, I should have used images on the context page. I think the photographs I took around college for the magazine cover were relatively good, the one I used was the most apporopriate in my opinion. I feel that I manipulated the photograph well as it didn't become pixilated or look squashed/stretched. Generally I am pleased with my design and think it looks appealing and fits the criteria well.
