Preliminary task from cover analysis

I chose the warm colours to make the magazine more inviting, and the reds match the colour of the hair, although I think more cooler colours would have fitted better with the picture.

I dont like the way the font is laid out; it looks like it has just been stuck on without meaning, when I did in fact try to put a little logic in it. Maybe a box of colour surrounding the masthead would make it stand out more, and would make it look like it is supposed to be there.

I like the 'explosion' decoration in the bottom left corner as it adds more of magazine feeling and a need of urgency, makes people want to read on; maybe to improve, I would use a graphics tablet to make it neater.

The 'revision techniques' links in with the 'Brigg sixth form' and how it is a magazine to help and advise. Also, the leavers 'hoodies and yearbooks' give a feeling of happiness as they obviously relate to leaving school. I think I should include more articles to improve the depth of the magazine.
