My magazine does not have
Colour co-ordination. I think this because the some things are red and blue then the puff is orange and the main picture is purple green and a yellow colour which does not really blend
This magazine didn’t really follow my draft this is because I could not make some of the pictures.
Instead of having the issue number on the contents page i put it on the front cover because I thought it looked good next to the barcode.
This magazine could have been laid out in a better way such as the banner in the middle of the magazine could be less solid so make it look more professional like in the title.
The way the light reflect of the glasses could also have been changed to look more professional by not having the light reflect off the glasses. And some of the writing is not that visible because of the background colour so I could have changed that to a colour where it could be read easily.
This doesn't have the issue number on it but the issue number is on the front cover which means it doesn't really need to be on the contents page as well
This doesn't use simple colours. Because there are a lot of different pictures, simple colours are not really used and it is more of a mixture of colours.
The font could be smaller because in other magazines the font was even smaller than the font I have used you are supposed to use font 9 but I used a font of 11 and 12
Categorised. I have use three categories; Featured, on the front cover and regular.
One main image. This image is bigger than all of the other images so it is the main focus .
Short description sublines. This is used to tell people a little bit about each section of the magazine.
White background a white background is used because if the background was busy then it would be hard to focus on the writing.
More than one column. This is because there are a lot of thing to be written and also many other magazines use three columns so I just followed the codes and conventions.
The name of the magazine. This it to remember what the name of the magazine is so people don’t forget.
Website name. if the website name is on there then reader will be able to find more about the magazine.
Big title. This is so people know what hey are reading and they can find the right page to tell you all the page numbers.

The main image should be a medium close up but I drafted a long shot.
Instead of having the issue number on the contents page I put it on the front cover because I thought it looked good next to the barcode.
This magazine could have been laid out in a better way such as the banner in the middle of the magazine could neater to make this look better.
This doesn't have the issue number on it but the issue number is on the front cover which means it doesn't really need to be on the contents page as well.
The font could be smaller because in other magazines the font was even smaller than the font I have used you are supposed to use font 9 but I used a font of 11 and 12
The categories could be made neater rather than having shapes around them they can just be underlined.
Categorised. I have use three categories; Featured, on the front cover and regular.
One main image. This image is bigger than all of the other images so it is the main focus .
Short description sublines. This is used to tell people a little bit about each section of the magazine.
White background a white background is used because if the background was busy then it would be hard to focus on the writing.
More than one column. This is because there are a lot of thing to be written and also many other magazines use three columns so I just followed the codes and conventions.

In photo shop to get the see through affect I changed the number of the feather to 182.9 to give it that see through affect on the solid shapes. I did this to make the words the first things you see and I did this on the title to make it unique and to reflect the words such as the red for fire and the blue because Priestley's colours are blue.
In my contents page I used the text feature and the picture frame feature to add text and picture to my contents page because this is what the readers will be reading and the pictures reflect the story that is going in the magazine so it is give a little glimpse of what is in the magazine.
I also used the auto shapes feature for the circles• The blue square at the top behind the word contents• The diamond shape next to the word contents• The star shape under the word feature• The lines that the featured titles will go in between
My use of these technologies could be better I could have made the auto shapes to be a bit neater so that they don’t look messy but they look more professional. Also I could have use the feather tool and made the shapes lighter so that the words are neater and look more professional and I could have use a feature to make the text stand out a bit more.
The positives are that my shapes are the same size because I copied and pasted them also the layout of all the pictures, text and shapes are good because they fit right in place
