Evaluation Of Magazine Cover

Overall i am happy with my two final pieces - I used photoshop and Dafont to create my school magazine and contents and felt after doing this task my photoshop skills have improved a lot! Dafont enabled me to use specialised fonts to match my magazines theme, without it the finished product would have been a lot plainer. I researched many sport magazines before choosing my design - i feel sport magazines these days are too plain and boring so i wanted to make my cover more fun and interesting also that includes a variety of sports! Sport magazines are normally very masculine so i tried to make it unisex - my contents is more softer than the front cover to make it more equally masculine and feminine. The strenghns of the magazine is it has a strong front image and  I have used aspects of the magazine I wanted to emulate to make it more realistic. I have used various sans and sans-serif fonts to make the magazine more interesting and appealing to the school student audience. The stories i have written are interesting but mainly focus on the male audience. Weaknesses include the business of the frount cover and the plainness of the contents! i Could have used less stories on my cover and more pictures on the contents.  If i did my magazine again I would have widened my target audience and used more affective puffs. I believe this is a positive start to photoshop and all the skills Ive learnt will help me on the next task.
