Analysis of magazine cover and
         contents page
        By Hayden Wright
Analysis of magazine cover and
         contents page


           These are
           the final
           products.
Analysis of Front cover


          One thing that works well with this
          cover is that the colours contrast well
          with each other, the use of red, black
          and white really makes this stand out
          to the consumer.
Analysis of front cover
       The masthead stand out and
       is big and bold, it also is
       mostly in the left third making
       it able to see when on a shelf
       with other magazines.


        The Lead image for the cover feels as if the person is
        Staring at the consumer, making it connect more to
        the consumer.
Analysis of front cover


           The main issue with the cover is
           that lead image makes it feel like
           it is targeted more towards a male
           audience, If it is a college
           magazine it should apply to
           everyone.

         The other issue I found with the
         cover is that in some places it is
         hard to read what is written
         such as the headline. Because
         of the black on the lead image
         it clashes with the black in the
         text for the headline making it
         at times hard to read.
Analysis of front cover


          I found that getting an image was difficult for
          This task as it needed to fit around the college.

          What I found easy about this was finding a
          Typeface that works very well with the college.

            If I could change one thing
            about this cover it would be
            the lead image, if I changed
            it I would make it apply
            more to every college
            student instead of making it
            more one sided for an
            audience.
Analysis of contents page

           One thing that works well
           with the content page is that
           the colours contrast and fit
           with the house style of the
           magazine.

           Another thing that works well
           is that the image used on the
           contents page fits with the
           headline and lead image from
           the cover making the main
           article stand out
Analysis of content page

        With font I tried to make it resemble the masthead as
        Best as possible to fit with the house style of the
        magazine.

        I split off the regulars from the features in the magazine
        As it will be easier to find certain articles.

        The red borders I added make the contents page stands
        out and draw you into the sections of the contents.
Analysis of contents page

         One thing I found difficult when designing this was that
         getting a good layout for the contents page because
         the layout needs to stand out and be simple to find
         what you are looking for.

         One thing that I found easy was choosing colours as it
         again fits with the house style.
Analysis of contents page


          If I could change one thing about the
          contents page it would have to be the
          layout, I do think the layout I have chosen is
          good but I think it could be better by
          adding a few more images and more details
          onto the contents page.
