Conclusion



Here are the front cover and contents page next to each other. Overall, I think the two images go well together, and are well suited to the December winter issue.

Front cover

Looking back at my front cover, I feel there are improvements that could have been made. I think the image is too light, and looks a little too washed out. I am also unsure about the text at the bottom 'Snowman competition photos and winner!'. The snowman clip-art looks a little un-professional, however it is a college magazine, not an expensive high street magazine. Other than these two problems, I think the cover is suitable and easy on the eye. The person on the front would appeal to both males and females, and she is smiling and friendly looking.

I chose to price the magazine at 70p, as there are 24 pages, two of which are adverts. The price would contribute to the price of the adverts, and I feel is a sensible amount for a 24 page magazine.

Contents

I feel the contents page looks as I intended, and continues the theme of the front cover well. If I could have made any changes, I would have taken more photos of the college, and been a little more creative. Although, I do not feel that is a major issue, and I am happy with the way the contents page turned out. Creating the contents plan on powerpoint was a big help in planning.

Although there are things I would change, I am pleased with what I have created, and will learn from my mistakes for future work, including our coursework creating a music magazine.
