Evaluation:
On the left is my first attempt of making a Front cover for St Mary's College. Here i have used some conventions that main magazines use when selling their Magazines to their audeince.
Picture
I have use a direct approach, this is when the star is using direct contact with the audience, this is good as it invites the person to buy this magazine as it is invited. The size of my image is a medium close up which worked best with fo rmy magazine as it took the whole of the front page which mean that it would be the main focus and easily noticeable to choose from a collection of different magazines. the picture is also friendly looking as it is of a student at St Marys College, this also shows a clear indication of who my target audience is.
However my image is noticeably blurry, which when making my Dj Magazine I would take into consideration,which might prevent people reading the magazine. Also there is a big gap between the top of the head and the top of the page, this isn't very attactive and makes the image look smaller.
Magazine Cover
My magazine is quite colourful, it has a variety of colour that would attract both sexes. The colours I have used don't reflect the target audience as they are colours that are regularly used in many other magazine. My colours are just random as they are colours i used for the task that i thought looked. I have used two different types of font, the tittle font differs from the other text i have written.
However even though my magazines has colour on the front cover it still is bland as the colours are vibrant or as eye catching as other magazines. Also the text i have used isn't interesting enough or makes people drawn to it. When making my final product i will take in consideration the colours that will reflect my genre and be continue throughout the magazine. Also since i am doing a DJ Magazine i have to be more creative and use funky font so it will suit my target audience, which will make them buy it.
Content Page
My Content page is a draft of what i thought my content page should look like. My content page consist of half pictures and half of it is text as this would attract more people. My content page would use the same colur and same font as it that is the house style.
when considering doing ma actual contents i will make sure it is bright, colourful and full of images.
