COLOUR does not seem
to fit in with the scheme,
however using different
colours can make the front
page more eye catching
and draw attention when
desired.
FONT is relatively hard to
read. It is not sophisticated
and does not match the
font of the quotation marks,
which makes it look odd.
However using different
fonts can make the page
more interesting.
Does not target a
particular AUDIENCE. The
feature article photo is
appropriate and suits the
requirements however not
specific.
What it is lacking:
• A sophisticated puff
• Fillers
• House style
• Specific tone
• Mode of address
To much NEGATIVE
SPACE, this can be
avoided by using fillers
3. BLAND AND EMPTY looking
background, a lot of negative
space, which can make the
overall page uninteresting.
Hard to follow, the page
seems to be quite chaotic
TYPOGRAPHY is not at all
varied, it can seem boring
and dull and not very
imaginative.
A varied COLOUR
SCHEME can make the
page seem busy and
possibly hard to follow or
alternatively
make it eye-catching.
What it is lacking:
• Fillers
• House style
• Specific tone
• Mode of address
• Sell
• A specific standfirst
• Flush left/right
• Photograph
FUSH LEFT/RIGHT is
not considered, which
can impact how visually
interesting the page is
for the reader.
Very little information.

FRONT COVER
CONTENTS
RECTANGLE TOOL
I found myself using the
shape tool for boxes a lot
when constructing my
contents page.
HORIZONTAL TYPE
TOOL
This was handy to use
during this exercise with
regards to taking into
consideration the
typography. I used it
frequently throughout. All
my text was produced
using this tool. It allowed
me to edit font style, font
size and colour.
HORIZONTAL TYPE
TOOL
This text tool enabled me
to quickly add text to my
pages.
MOVE TOOL
I used this to move
about the shapes and
the text that built up
my front cover.
PAINT BUCKET TOOL
This tool aloud me to colour
the shapes that I put the
page numbers in on my
contents page.
SET FOREGROUND
COLOUR
I used this to colour the
shapes in which I
incorporated for my page
numbers.
MAGNETIC LASSO
I did not use this during
the making of my front
page, however I could use
it if I wanted to specifically
or precisely crop a section
of my feature article
photo.
5. Improvements
My magazine front cover and contents
page could have done with:
• A sophisticated puff
• Fillers
• House style
• Specific tone
• Mode of address
• Fillers
• Sell
• A specific stand first
• Flush left/right
• Photographs
• Use of the magnetic lasso and
overall more in depth and intricate
use of tools.
• A quirky colour scheme
• Maybe an edited
feature article photo
