  • 1. Analysing Student Magazine

2. Front Covert
Strap line
Issue:
Logo: he has definitely looked into magazines, as he created a logo, this will give awareness to the readers which magazine it is.
Masthead:
I would like to see a direct mode of address simply because I would like to identify the artist.
Main Image:
The main image got good quality and is clear and stands out. I really like how he used the lighting to create different shades and contrast.
Puffs: I would like to see more puffs included, simply because it looks more busy and full of different things.
Button
Rotated image shows use of computing skills
Barcode
3. Contents Page
The contents page is similar to mines but I would like to see more information displayed
Main Title, presents it big
Excellent lighting, their use of images is very effective and looks professional
Text: Good use of fonts, and well laid out. I can clearly understand what each page is about.
Images: Good use of images, as they are placed in the right areas, page number is needed.
4. Double Page Spread
Main Image:
The main image is big which is good, but the lighting distracts me from their faces, needs better lighting.
The main image is placed in the centre showing the readers that its the main focus.
Text: the articles written don't seem to be in columns, and certainly do not look interesting to read. More writing is needed plus the layout of the double page needs to be improved
Images: good use of image, more is needed to make the page look interesting.
They should use different fonts or a different colour to highlight main points
Title
5. Front Cover
Has used good posture to reflect the grime atmosphere.
Strap line
Advertising: this makes the magazine look more professional, as he is advertising competitions and using computing skills to crop it and put it there.
Masthead: He has used a innovative font and shows that he has skills with computing. He has placed the masthead on the top left hand corner so it does not get in the way of his main image.
Main cover line
Relevant Images : He's shown images relating to his main image, and arranged them around texts
Puffs: the puffs have been used with a bold colour to bring them out from the rest of the page. He should have included some on the right side of the page.
Barcode
Strap line
6. Contents Page
Main Title: the title is big and visible to the readers, and is presented on the top of the page.
Page Reference: shows different pages of the magazine with small detail.
Images: the images have been rotated and squeezed next to the main image in the background, this shows good computing skills, and brings out creativity.
Logo
Page number is needed on the images.
7. Double Page Spread
Judging by this persons magazine presentation, it seems to me as if they have very good computing skills as they used different fonts colour and different shapes and included it into their magazine.
Main Title: I can see he has used a different font to present main title, making it look more professional
Articles:
I don't really like the way his articles have been laid out, there's not much writing, but just a interview with a artist. Allot of readers might find this a bit boring.More text is needed to make the double spread look busy.
Main Image:
Main image is kept big like every single magazine, making it STAND OUT.
Various Images: good use of images, a variety to look at making the magazine more interesting.
