Magazine summary evaluation

My magazine turned out similar to how i imagined it, when starting to brainstorm ideas for the magazine I looked at a lot of others and they all seemed to how simple in common, they were all set out fairly simple nothing to fussy, with clear text, and a bold title, when I imagined the front cover I wanted to stick to this so it wasn’t to in your face. We used Photoshop to create the magazine which at first seemed complicated adding the layers and cutting all the images out etc. I feel like the magazine front page and contents page have turned out well, they are both quite layed back which I thought was quite important for the genre of the magazine being school and school fashion you don’t want anything too intense.
The magazine front cover followed rules that alot of other popular magazines follow- i stuck to 3 colours for it (white, red, black)- the issue was the first and a christmas time issue so for future issues of the magazine the 'red' sections of the magazine could be changed to suit another type of the issue, big bold title in capital letters, barcode, issue number, price mid shot image, text desciribing whats in the magazine.
