Evaluation!

I think that my final outcome, my front cover of the magazine and the contents page turned out well. I think that my colour scheme and house theme worked well together and the font i chose for both contents and the front cover worked well because they were both simple bold fonts but effective which makes them stand out so you look at the text and pick it up.The colour of my font was an important issue as, on the front cover the photographic background could have easily masked out and hidden the text, but as i made the colour of the text so bright and bold the text hit you and did stand out.

I used a digital camera to take my photographs. I photographed all of my images within the Wyke College grounds. I  think that my photographs i chose to use worked very well as they represented college life as a happy and fun time and not a boring long dull time. 

I think that i could have improved my photography by maybe using more photographs on my contents page, other than that i think that they worked well. 

I had a few problems with cutting around photos on photo shop for my contents page as they didn't cut a smooth line, so instead i just used the full photo's, i think that they looked okay in the end anyway.
My photograph for the front cover i think personally was the best photograph i had taken for this project,it also fitted in with the issue date which was autumn, so the student was dressed appropriately for the season and the setting of the photograph looking appropriate for this season also.


I decided that the name for my magazine "life@wyke" was suitable as its a more funky and modern version which would appeal to young students at Wyke College.If i were to chose another name for my magazine cover i may have chosen something like "Wyke life" which again would relate to student life.


I think that the story lines in which i chose to use were suitable and effective and if this were a magazine in a College i think that people would pick it up and buy it. They weren't very educational story lines which means that they would appeal to many students as most people wouldn't really be interested in the magazine if it were educational.

If i were to improve on things during this project i would definitely improve my contents page and, i don't think that i would change anything on my front cover as i like the layout although i could have maybe made the headlines a little larger, but i didn't make them bigger as i wanted the photograph to be visible and not be hidden by a lot of text.
