The document evaluates aspects of a college magazine that could be improved. For the front cover, the author would use a bolder font for the coverlines in a brighter color, use a white background to make the image and colors stand out more, and add buzzwords and social media logos. The contents page is also too basic and lacks expected media devices. It would be improved by removing the image background, adding more folios above the image, and including contact information and a more professional font to make it less disorganized.

1. College Magazine Evaluation
WHAT ASPECTS OF MY WORK COULD BE IMPROVED AND WHY?

2. Evaluating my front cover
 The first thing that I would improve on my front cover is the coverlines. The typeface I
chose is too small and the colour is too bright for it to be properly seen. If I had the
chance to do it again I would change them to a bolder font and make them a brighter,
easier to see colour.
 Another thing that I would change is the background colour. I would have made it an
entirely white background so the font and main image stood out more, this would
have made it look more professional and appealing to the audience. This use of white
space would have drawn attention to the main image and made the colours stand out
more without making my front cover look cluttered.
 Overall my front cover is far too basic and needs a lot of improvement, the coverlines
aren’t parallel with each other and there is a different amount on each side of the
cover. I would add a buzzword and maybe some social media logos as these are both
media devices you would expect to find on a magazine cover.

3. Evaluating my contents page
 As with my front cover, my contents page is too basic and is lacking certain media
devices that are expected of a contents page, because of this it is in need of a lot of
improvement.
 It does not look at all professional but more like something that is expected from
someone that has just learned to use a computer. The only redeemable aspect is the
fact that the colours all compliment each other.
 One of the main improvements I would make would be to the image, I would have
removed the background and placed more folios above the image, in addition I would
have added a email address, social media URLs and chosen font that doesn’t make my
contents page look childish and disorganised.
 I would also alter the layout
