When creating a school magazine I found that having a simple, white (if possible) background was best for making the cover stand out. As you can see I have used consistent colouring for my various texts. For example I have used all black for any major titles or headings, a deep red to match the colour of the uniforms of the students in the photo, as well as a splash of purple to brighten up the cover and make it look both interesting and appeal to the audience. At the very bottom of the cover I thought that it would be a great idea to include the school logos, because the students at my school will be familiar with these logos, and it adds to the overall competent look that I was going for.
I am highly satisfied with this magazine front cover, as I feel I have achieved all of the personal goals that I was aiming for, particularly when I was comparing current magazine examples.
If I was to change anything about this front cover I would have made sure that the text on the right hand side of the cover was not overlapping the image in the centre of the cover as this is something that I had picked up on previously.
After taking a second look, I feel as though the magazine looks rather formalistic to be a student magazine, so I think that I could have also improved this by ensuring that the students are looking at the camera smiling, rather than being stuck in their books!
