In my magazine I have used bright colours to catch the audience attention and to show who the target audience is which would be teenage and female, it also looks more professional, the person in the image is looking exactly into the camera which is showing that the magazine is feminine and is a shot of her whole body as that is showing what she is wearing because it is a fashion magazine. i used a light image so that i could use brighter colours like reds golds and blacks to stand out of what is inside the magazine, i put the title in capital letters and in black font to make it stand out and show the readers what the magazine is called as soon as they look at it.
i used a white background so that the main model and the writing will stand out, the magazine looks more professional because i followed some techniques that some famous magazine were using to make their magazine look better.
i did my magazine in colours and not in black and white too make it look less dull and show more ideas.
Amber, your magazine is looking really good. I like the way you have used the gradient tool to make your background look so effective. the masthead looks good and the choice of image works well. Your description of decisions you have taken is very helpful too. We need to look again at the shape of the page, which looks too tall and thin, however this may also help you with placing the cover lines so that they have their own space and do not cover the image so much. Also, you ned to try to get more of the background out of the hair of your main image - a fiddly job but worth it in the end. Properly finished, this design could achieve a distinction.
