Research and plnning- college magazine

This is the cover and contents mock up of my magazine.

i think that the font size is appropriate because it isnt too big however it is noticable and readable. The masthead is larger than the coverlines and the coverlines desrciptions are smaller than the cover lines therefore the order of what you notice when you look at the magazine is correct. The font I used is very good as it has the American college style and therefore makes the target audience appeal to the magazine more.

The magazine does follow the three colour rule and all the colours coincide with each other therefore the magazine has a good consistant feel. the colours are also bright and bold and therefore stand out more.

The masthead is the one chosen by my target audience it is good because it uses two fonts and also invovles the students themselves, it suggests the the magazine is about the students and their opinions entailing that they are important for the magazine.

the photograph is very  approiate as it shows a typical student, it has been photo shopped in order for any blemishes to be taken away. The background has been took out and therefore you can see the edges of the background and the also the top of the models head has been cut off, this is bad photography skills and therefore could be improved. 

The mastheads and coverlines are approiate as they are in connection iwth college students and also all the coverlines have good desriptions underneath in order for the target audience to get indepth information on the stories however it would be better if there were more coverlines.
