preliminary task

As part of our preliminary task we had to use the desktop publishing software to produce the front page of a new college magazine. It had to feature a photograph of a student in medium close-up along with some appropriately laid-out text and a masthead.

My college magazine cover works pretty well as i have a good clear image with direct address plus a good use of props within my image. my range of colours i used go well with my magazine as they are noticeable and bright. The masthead i used is short and snappy and easy for my audience to remember.

Although there are a few things that i would change for example the size of my picture as i have had to put my masthead over my model. Where as it would have been better if i had created a shot with a bit of space above my model where i could of put my masthead. But i now know to do this in future reference. As well talking about my image, although i do have a good use of props which link in well with my main featured article i do think i could of placed them in a more of a visible position within my shot.

Also maybe i could of got a better font to use to make my magazine stand out a little more.
