front cover with analysis
I think my college magazine front cover appeals to it's target audience because it is colourful, fun, and has events in it which appeal to all students whether it be sports or music. I tried to use colours that would appeal to both sexes male and female so i used lots of red and blue and the typography is very varied as it has lots off different bubbly fonts. The image on the front cover is fun so we can see the magazine is imformal and quite chatty and gossipy. The photo is a medium shot and has a straight on angle, its all very much in focus and has a smooth film quality. The lighting is very natural as the photo was taken outside, i think this is very expressive of mood as we are smiling on the front cover! I think the photo is very suitable for the magazine and it looks very packed with gossip and news. However i think the layout could be better. I think because of the photo it was hard to put the text around the people on the front without going over their faces, so i had to put them in a sort of list down the left hand side, although this could make it easier on the eye.With the contents page i think it could be a lot more detailed to make it more exciting however i think with pictures in the boxes provided it could be quite effective and look busier. I used bright colours again to appeal to a teenage audience.I have gained a lot by this Preliminary Task, i didn't have any photoshop skills and now i feel quite confident with it. However i do feel if i was better at it i could have created a better magazine cover.

I have copied over your analysis from Flickr - you only really need to use flickr to do an annotated analysis using the "note" function. Otherwise do everything direct to your blog.
Your visual work is good although as you have recognsied could be better... I think you need to develop your Photoshop skills further for the main task.
You have not posted the "planning" post yet - please add this as the work is not finished without it. Also please add an analysis of your CONTENTS PAGE - you have only written about your front cover.
Please capitalise "I" when referring to yourself. Correct your posts.
Overall this is adequate work Fern but does not, I think, show me your full potential, and is tellingly incomplete.
WORK HARDER!!!
