College magazine prelim evaluation
For my prelim task I had to construct a college magazine suitable for an audience between the ages of 16-18. This is the chosen age because this is how old most college students are. It helped me vary my decision for what I could actually use for my music magazine.
I did this by making my magazine appealing to the readers. The magazine included latest news articles of current situations around college. I wanted to engage with the reader and I did this by using relevant articles that I thought the target audience would be interested in. I also took photos for my cover photo, however I took them all in landscape shots. They wouldn't fit on the page so I had to go back out and take portrait photos instead. My favourite part about making the magazine was making my masthead. I loved this because as I was making it I thought it looked quite boring, so I decided to tilt the 'The' to the side to give it a more appealing effect. I made the cover lines and masthead colours that all link together well. I chose red because it catches your eye. I then made the cover lines red & white as I wanted to use some sort of vary on my front page. I chose the title name 'The college magazine' as it was simple and easy to use. People who saw it would recognise that it was a college magazine instantly due to the title.
I made the contents page spacious and clear so that it wasn't misleading and was easy to follow.
I think one thing I could improve on is the contents page as it looked a bit bare and I could of done this by taking more photos of the school and filling up the page.
