2. Evaluation of Front Cover I found that I was pleased with my front cover but not as pleased as I could have been a was a little disappoint with the colours on the front cover, because although I kept in theme with my house style I could not seem to add any colour to the background without it looking odd or too busy, the simplistic look is very fashionable, but I would have liked to make the magazine cover look a bit more rock-ish as there doesn't seem to be the right message coming across from it. The flash box (Downloads inside) on the front cover was also a little pixelated because I couldn't seem to export or enhance the image enough in order to make it look neat, however this could help with giving it a rock-ish edge that I needed. I was pleased with the little details like the issue number and date giving it a better look and the hand span almost looks like it was measured for the magazine exactly. The text is also all visible and I steered clear of trying to make all the text the same.
3. Evaluation of Contents Page My contents page turned out better than I ever expected as to me it looks like a professional contents page. The house style is still in keeping and there is more of a music magazine feel to the this than the front cover which is a good thing. The picture goes really well with the contents and it gives a indie music feel. If I were to change one thing I would definitely change the reviews section, because the text isn't that appealing, I did this because I had a certain amount of texts and I was trying to keep with three/four different texts and that was the only text out of the ones I had chosen that suited the column, but if possible I would have definitely changed the style of text I used. Although I kind of think that the advertising flash at the bottom looks a bit out of place the black goes with the black and white picture and definitely is a rock style which is much needed in this magazine.

5. I put quotes in the mast head and in between the text so that people can read the shocking quotes and it makes them want to read on.
6. I made sure that the picture was big enough so that it overlaps onto the next page which is what I found out in my research other magazines do.
