The Good

The good things that about the magazine are:

The layout

To start with the layout of the front cover of the magazine is with the Title at the Top which acts as the masthead of the magazine. What I particularly find that is really good is how the name of the magazine is well recognisable with a very accurate size on it, not only this but also for the colour of the title is one that readable and not hard for one to read showing that the magazine is made simple to make sure that the audience will be able to understand.

There are also the different writings which are on the left third of the magazine and also the right, the way the different fonts have been used including the different colours creating that attraction towards the audience. So the left third is what one will be able to see in the shop as the audience because of the way the magazines will be laid out, the different colours on the fonts will create that though in the audience mind of “why” it is like that which makes them pick one up with the thought of interest or curiousness.

The caption in the centre of the page conveys the image, tell the audience who the actual artist is and with the caption it makes it the much better interesting towards the audience, which also acts the main cover line for the magazine. On the contents page there is the different images shown which is a good point shows the audience of some of the artists that will feature, so not only giving the written version of it but also the visual version of it.

Uses of Fonts

This I found to be very good because it was some of the things I had to make improvements on as I progressed further into it. To begin with I had only one or two types of fonts but with feedback from my peers and teacher, I then thought of changing it in order to have as it is now which I think turned out better that I had thought at first.

But from the contents page and Double Page Spread the fonts have remained to a limit in order to maintain the house style through the magazine.

Colour

Looking at the double page spread, the colour effect which is on it is good because it sort of has that balance remembering that my target audience are boys and girls. So with the colours of Purple, grey, yellow and black there is that balance through the double page spread.
