Here are images of my completed contents page on the left and front cover to the right. Overall I am pleased with my work but I believe they both have their strengths and weaknesses. For instance I find that my front cover directly addresses the audience as there is a strong image pointing towards the reader. It makes people relate to the title look forward. I think this is a suitable title as students should be heading towards the future but also crates a positive effect. This positive thought is further backed up with the bright colours which I used. However the background colur sometimes makes it difficult to read the text as they are quite similar so I would rethink my colour scheme if I was to produce it again. I think that the image being placed under the priory creates a good effect as it is central and to the point. The priory is also a major landmark of Guisbrough, where the college is based. If I had to have a criticism of this it would be that the background is a litte unoriginal as I could've got a less obvious image. I also like the way on the contents page that the images are placed behind the text as it adds an extra element to the page as it is more interesting with other things going on. I will use my experience of creating the college magazine to develop it and be stronger on my main music magazine project. One way would be that on the contents page I was unable to remove the white strip on the background of one of my images. However I now have the photoshop skills to enable me to use the eraser tool which I was unable to before so can use the more effectively on my music magazine.
