Evaluation of Preliminary task 1

I was happy with my front cover, because it was very creative and it looked like a typical cover of a magazine. The colours that I used were, red, yellow and white. I chose these colours because they go well together and they do not clash so it is clear to the public/audience. I like my masthead because it uses an unusual font, which makes it more catchy for the audience, and will make them more interested in buying it. I used a red font colour with a yellow background, so it would stand out. Also it is very large so it stands out to the audience and that they know that it is the headline. I have used 2 images on my front cover. The first one is the main headline, which is large and fills most of the page, and the second one is an inside story down at the bottom left corner of the page. The other stories that I had was that a 'student had won a trip to spain' and a money off offer for stationary. I chose these because I thought they are typical types of things that go on a front cover of a college magazine. Also I thought that they would relate to the headline as it is for a college magazine and one of them is a picture. If I did it again I would add extra features like a barcode, price, dateline and maybe add some effects to the image itself.
