The document summarizes a magazine evaluation. It describes including a main image of the principle giving direct address on the cover to make the audience feel welcomed.

On my magazine, I have included a main image in the middle of the cover.it is a mid shot of the
principle and he is giving direct address so the audience feel welcomed to the magazine. I am
sticking with convention because other magazines like mine also use mid shots as well. This is
because the magazine is created for a niche market. The masthead is the main focus of my
magazine as it is big, bold and bright and stands out. This is so the target recognises what the
magazine is called and what it is about. They are usually found at the top of magazines, which
sticks to conventions, so it is easy to find. Also, they are found in top corners of because when
they are stacked on the shelves, other magazines will cover the magazine and if there mast
head is the corner then it can be easily found and read. My magazine is similar the GQ
magazine as they both use the rule of thirds on there front cover. This is a smart layout as all the
techniques are grouped together, i.e. all the cover lines are on one side of the magazine

On my contents page, I have a consistent colour scheme that is the same
as my front cover. This is so that the magazine stays the same throughout.
And so it sticks to the college colours and appeal to the target the
audience. It is similar to the contents page I found on the internet as they
both have references of their pictures to what page to go to. This helps the
target audience find the page that they are most interested in. Mine
follows conventions like including website addresses to the college official
website, Facebook and twitter for more information about the college. It is
good to include this because then the niche market can find out more
information about the college The other contents page does not include
this so does not follow conventions. and where as the other one doesn’t.
I have included most things of my plan because I couldn’t fit it all on.
