Moderator,
this is my blog which I've been adding to throughout this coursework. The music magazine I've made is in the hip-hop/alternative genre.
Below you'll find my finished music magazine cover, contents page and double page spread as well as the evaluation questions, research and planning, college magazine and the tasks I had to do before creating this.
My blog will start with my finished college magazine, go on to the evaluation, then research and planning and finally my college magazine.

Research and Planning: Analysis of College Magazine


I think my magazine cover and contents page have near enough the right font sizes. The masthead is the largest font on the front cover and the title 'contents' is the largest on the contents page. The stories on the front cover are a range of sizes and the stories on the contents are all the same size. Both the front cover and contents page both follow my three colour rule (Black, Red and White). I think you can tell that both the front cover and contents page are from the same magazine because of the colour scheme, stories, layout and presentation. The photographs are appropriate as they're of students and particularly a student involved in one of my magazine stories (front cover), however the second picture (contents) could have been taken better. The stories are very appropriate for what a college student would want to read about although it would have been better with one or two more stories to fill out the front cover.

    I think that the contents and the front cover all looks very professional, the colours used look good and they all match. The image on the contents page isn't in the best of places due to there being a number and a line going on top of him. Also at a quick glance you can tell its a magazine due to things like the bar-code and the mast head.

    My first impressions are that your magazine really stands out, by using strong bold colours.
    You have also managed to use the three colour rule very well and kept it consistent throughout.
    The image is used well because the target audience is around 16 to 18.
    the area of development would be to make sure images are a good quality.
    overall a good magazine.

    Both pages link well together with the use of colour and their fonts. The large masthead really attracts your attention and works well with the college theme. However i feel the area for improvement would be the amount of stories in your contents page, by adding more stories, the page will look more professional.

    on these cover and contents i think it really stands out as you have used a red white and black color schemes, which work really well.
