Creating a magazine evaluation

Overall I think the front cover came out well on our magazine. As a group we decided to create a men's magazine with a range of content. I had the challenge of being Editor and I created the front cover and the back cover. To create the front cover I needed to discuss with my team what colour theme and look we were going to adopt for the magazine. As a group we decided the best colour combination would be blue and white as this seemed to link in with the sophisticated feel to the magazine. The front cover shot was take by me. I chose to have a range of boys pose on the steps and for the back cover I took the same shot but from behind them. The typography on the front cover is very legible and I think it grasps the attention of others. A criticism of the design was that it looked fairly similar to the Facebook logo. Overall I think our front cover represents what our magazine is about and stands out.
