Evaluation

I thought that my magazine went really well eventually, the style and layout of it came out as I had intended, though I would have wanted the mid shot main picture to be stretched more so it covered more of the page, but I couldn't do that with this image because it would have become pixilated. Maybe it could have had more strap lines so the cover doesn't look so sparse. In a "real" magazine there would be a lot more going on like offers and exclusive strap lines to show interviews with celebs.

The colors scheme of brown, silver and red went really well, I felt that the colors were easy to look at and not to bright. I picked these colors because they were calming and would appeal to say a musical student who would want a quiet sit down and a magazine to read. 

The only problem I could see with my contents page was that I neglected to have page numbers on the article strap lines, so there wouldn't be much point on having a contents page if you didn't know what pages they were on.

 The photoshopping of the pictures went more smoothly as i had used photoshop before and I knew what tools I should use to get the best results.  I didn't have any other problems other than running out of disc space when I had to save the files as J- pegs so I could upload them onto my blog.

I thought that I could have edited the magazine quicker if I would have used the magic eraser tool I could have saved a lot of time.

The reason I was able to gain all the photo's in such a quick time is because we went out in a group and took the pictures all in one sitting.

We had a good selection of pictures because Rupert took them on his high quality camera.
