Reflection

This is the magazine that I created last year.

FRONT PAGE:
This is the front cover of my magazine and looking back I think that I have successfully followed the colour palette for the magazine as there are a set black, red and white colour scheme throughout the product. I like the layout that I have used for the front cover as it doesn't look cluttered, it looks like the text have been thought about as none of the text is overlapping each other, you can see the text when it is overlapping the image, the text has got different font style as there are italics and bold to help it stand out better. I really like the idea of the masthead as I like the red circle for the o and the dot of the exclamation mark. The only thing that I would say I could have done better would be to edit the chair as it seems a little dirty which is not something I want the magazine to have this representation.

CONTENTS PAGE:

Again the colours scheme works really well, the images work well also with the colour scheme, I also like the headings as artists are the best way in my opinion to entice the reader. However there is something that I think could have been improved is that the red lines underneath the headers as they are not all the same size and I think to give a structured look to the magazine I should have kept the same size.

                               
DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD:
I really like this double page spread as the red lines down the page match the design I had on the contents page which links the pages together, I really like that I have used the same colour font for 'Emeli Sande' on the front cover and the double page spread as it gives continuity which allows the audience to recognise that article advertised on the front cover is the double page spread article.

OVERALL:
Overall I think that I have done a good job with creating last years magazine as there are only a few pointers with a years experience from last year that I would have changed. I think that with the format I was given I think that I have kept to the conventional magazine which has allowed me to create this.
