Preliminary Task - Evaluation

I think my magazine front cover and contents page were quite successful. I believe that my front cover looks better than my contents page, but I think that is because I has had more practise doing magazine front covers as I did it in one of my Art units last year. I also enjoyed making the front cover a lot more than making the contents page. The College magazine I made is very girlie but I tried to make it more appealing to both genders by putting blue into the colour scheme, but unfortunately I still cannot imagine any boy wanting to but it.

I really enjoyed learning how to use InDesign but in the end I stuck with using PhotoShop because it was available to me at home, I also found that I could do the same things when using it. I learnt many different things, like how to use InDesign but I learnt more on Photoshop, for example being able to get the persons head in front of the masthead, I also used this Technique in my Contents page.

If I were to do this process again I would try and make my contents page look a lot better, something that I would expect to see when I have bought a magazine and with my final contents page I don't believe it is up to that standard. I really struggle with the contents page, maybe if I spent more time on it, it would have looked better. I am a lot more happier with my front page, but if I were to do it again I would think of better cover lines as the ones I have aren't that good.
