EVALUATION FOR COLLEGE MAGAZINE

for my evaluation i am going to talk about many points about my finished college magazine. the points i will be talking about are what i did to achieve my finished product and how i done it, talk about what was good and what was bad, talk about the comments on my blog of what people thought about my finished college magazine and finally how i could have improved my college magazine.

i wanted to achieve a professional look to my magazine as it would have attracted many people on to reading it. This is because many people still judge a book by its cover, hence why i wanted my magazine to stand out from the others and make mine the unique magazine. i have approached this finished magazine by using PHOTOSHOP CS6, i used Photoshop for my main cover page as this was the most easiest software to use to get a more professional outcome from a task. using this software was a big success as i did have some background knowledge on how to use Photoshop however my knowledge for Photoshop was quiet limited. and for the contents page i had to use indesign because it was the most appropriate software to use for a contents page this is because indesign have many unique features the Photoshop doesn't have. such as on indesign u can work on multiple pages at one for example if you have a double page spread you can work on both on 1 paper as its work efficient. the things that i believed was good is that i have used a good colour scheme which consists of blue and yellow, this is because as its a college magazine i decided to stick to our college logo and our college logo consists of these 2 colours so i believe this was a really good decision that i made. however when i used the yellow its really hard to see so that was a bad decision. many people have commented all positive comments such as saying the colour scheme is really good. however someone also said that i should have added a price this could be one of my 3 improvements that i could have made. my other improvements i could have done is changed the yellow to a darker shade so its easier to see, moreover i could have used a better camera for a more clearer image which would have made my college magazine even more appealing.
