2. Typical
school based
colour scheme
Smart
feature
article
photo
Back to
school
photo at
the
bottom
Bricks
included
in the
background
to show
the school
theme
Used a plug
(that is
ineffective)
3. The feature article
photo could have
been enlarged
slightly to be able
to be drawn in more
through direct eye
contact
No real house
style or target
audience through
looking at the
front cover No plug used
The back to school
picture could have the
background edited out
so it looks part of
the scene instead of
in the corner out of
place
Bigger masthead so
it stands out a
lot more so you
can see what it is
called, maybe
behind the feature
article photo if
it was a cropped
image
A sell could be used
under the Dr Carter
puff so you have some
information as to what
her general ideas are
The colour scheme
could be better,
just 3 colours
instead of the
different tone of
green and the blue Part of
Kieran’s neck
missing due
to cutting
out the shape
instead of
using the
lasso tool
The colour scheme
does not draw you
to a certain
article and the
typography is very
repetitive and dull
There are no well
placed puffs used
to lead you to a
headline
There is noise as
when you look
closely the
feature article
photo is blurry
4. The same
colour
scheme
throughout,
very school
based
Things are
highlighted
in different
colours
I duplicated the
masthead so you
are reminded
what the
magazine title
is
Reflects back
to the front
page as the
same colours
are used
again
Text is readable
and easy to see
what is being
said, very simple
font
5. The background
could be
different to
fit the theme
of a school
blackboard with
writing on them
I could add in
pictures of what
will be featured
to draw the
reader in more,
mainly to the
main feature
The mast head,
again needs to be
bigger to
highlight the
name of the
magazine so you
remember the name
and begin to
recognize it
The font is all
the same, and it
is very
repetitive so
there is not
anything that
starts to catch
your eye
The main article is not
highlighted so there is
nothing that catches
your eye to make you
want to find out what
is included in the
magazine
A drop cap could have
been used on my main
article so you know
exactly where it is
Colour does not stand
out on white, it is a
very negative space
Drop cap
could be
used to
draw you
into the
main
article
As the layout is
very repetitive
you cannot find
key information,
or be led to the
one you want to be
6. For my contents I
mainly used the
‘text’ tool. I
changed the colour on
each piece of text to
show what part is
what
I used the
duplicate tool to
make sure that my
mast head RITZY
was copied
exactly as it was
on my original
front cover so
the theme of the
title goes on
I could have used a lot
more tools to manipulate
my contents to make it
stand out a lot more,
with the colour scheme
and how the information
about what the magazine
is included in a better
format, so you are drawn
to the feature article
in the magazine
7. I used the ‘text tool
to make my masthead
and show what my
magazine features
throughout
I used the
quick
selection
tool to crop
the other
bricks out
to give more
of a rugged
look to the
magazine
I used the
duplicate tool to
transfer the ‘back
to school’ onto the
front cover
I used the block
effect on the back
to school picture
to make it seem
like a puzzle is
being pieced
together
symbolising school
helping you make
your life plan and
piecing everything
together
