Evaluation

The colour scheme I have chosen is very stereotypical to male and female (blue and pink) when I create my music magazine I will use a different colour scheme making it not so stereo typical. I would use a mixture like greens, blues, yellows, pinks, purple, red etc. I wouldn’t use two simple colours which would be colours that are expected to see on a magazine aimed at mixed sex.

I would make sure I edited my model more when I do my music magazine because it will make it look more professional as I have gained more experience using Photoshop allowing me to do this.
I would definitely plan my photo-shoot again because I benefitted from this a lot because my model knew exactly what to wear and how I wanted to makeup which then created the effect on my front cover that I had hoped for. I would maybe use props for my music magazine like a guitar or set of drums because it would fit with the theme.
I would change the colour of the banner behind ‘Gossip’ because it has ruined my colour scheme by using a lighter blue I wish I had stuck to the dark blue because it would look better. 
I like the font I have used and I would use this again because it looks simple and professional. I would maybe use different fonts for different heading on my magazine because I think it will look more appealing to the customers. I would also make the writing bigger so that it stands out more on a shelf so that people are more likely to pick it up.
I would definitely do a target audience questionnaire for my music magazine because it gives a good insight as to what the target audience want to see and read about.
I would make the background colour a solid colour rather than a natural colour from the picture because I think I would look more professional.
I would use a different a different colour writing for this part because I feel it doesn’t stand out and give the impression I want it to therefore I would use a brighter colour like pink or yellow. The reason I used black and white text is because I wanted to keep it looking professional.
I like my masthead I think that because its simple it is effective. I called it ‘SF’ because it stand for Sixth Form and I thought it was meaningful as the magazine is a free magazine for sixth form which had a target audience of students.
