Page Evaulations



I think this is quite a good front page. Most Rock/Pop magazines have a single person/Group standing in front of a white background, so my main image follows this standard. However, due to relatively low lighting and a deep yellow tint, when I adjusted the brightness of the image, it became too light, which is a slight shame. The Titles for this style of Magazine are generally block fonts. Finding a block font which doesn't look too childish or too serious is difficult, so I settled upon a font which looks like it is 'Noise Damaged' (similar to Kerrang). Although a lot of the page is empty, I think it looks better this way. I tried adding some more text to it, and it looked out of place, so I kept it like it is. Overall, I would say that it conforms to most of the Magazine standards.




This page follows the general concepts of magazines. Certain articles are mentioned and paragraphed with a title and the page number, followed by a short description. It features only a few colours (without the inclusion of the Image in the bottom left), which is similar to other magazines. The font stays uniform throughout the page, which makes it look neater.




I think that this is a good double page spread because it flows well. This is key for a double page spread, since if it confuses people, it's not doing it's job properly. The spread is easy on the eye, as well as being neat, which adds to the quality of it. I would have liked to have added more pictures, but I only had the one image of grant from a Silent Cry Tour, and a picture of a dead dove that I rotated to look like it was flying. Each main heading is given a distinct colour (to match with the Image in the top left), so you can distinguish different sections from each other. I think that it works well as a Double page spread.
