Final Overview of Magazine

What went well:
  • One thing that went well with my magazine pages is the colour scheme throughout it. The colours i chose really contrasted well together and made my magazine look effective and professional.
  • Another thing that I have done well throughout my magazine pages is kept the brand identify going. I have put the brand identify of every page I did to link the magazine pages together and so that it looks professional.
  • My cover lines and my splash I have on my front cover are good stores that are suitable or my target audience and would bring people into reading my magazine therefore making my magazine successful. 
  • Another thing i did well is the photos I uploaded on all my pages. they all related well to my stories and looked really effective and professional

Improvements:
  • I thing that didn't wok well is the stars and music notes on my front cover made my magazine look immature and tacky and would put people off buying it. Therefore my magazine doesn't appeal to my beginning age range I thought it would so I had to change it half way through which wasn't very professional.
  • Another thing that didn't work well was my article on my double page spread wasn't entertaining enough, it was heavy blocked text which my target audience wouldn't want to read and if they did they'd give up half way through because its boring. I needed my article to hold my targets audience attention wanting them to read more, it didn't do this.
  • I didn't think my use of space was very well. From my research I found out that pop magazines are busy and full of content whereas mine had a lot of white spaces and not a lot of content which is the opposite to normal.
  • Another thing that wasn't successful was my pug in the top right hand corner. It looked very unprofessional and wouldn't grab my audiences eye like I wanted it to. It was to simple and boring.

Overall:
Overall I think my magazine looked effective and like a pop magazine, but looked like it was target for a much younger audience than I'd planed at the beginning. But it looked like a very professional well planned pop magazine. My magazine ported and symbolised my genre very well.
