Colly Mag Evaluation

When I first found out we were doing magazine covers I had a number of ideas in my head, this included the different colours I was going to use,the different fonts and the layout of the magazine. This final design isn't really how I wanted my magazine to come out but I am still happy with it.

Sharnee Ramsamy
Good use of colour scheme and the masthead is clear to read

Add on more headings, or make them bigger to make it look more eyecatching to the reader

The colour scheme looks very good as you have used the 3 colour scheme and the 3 colours match well.

The image shows a happy student which is one of the main objectives of a college magazine.


I think you should've made the title bigger and also the idea of the title being in the background is good but since it's a college magazine you should put the title in front of the cover image.

The colour scheme is very formal and neat, and the masthead is clear. The image fit the idea of a college magazine as the student is smiling.


Based on all my peer feedback I think that my college magazine design is both good and bad. i had good ideas but they were simple i didnt use my imagination enough and thats a reminder for next time.

In order to make my new music magazine better than this one i will take in the constructive criticism to improve my work for example Redwnual said because its a college magazine my masthead should be at the front in that case i will think wisely when doing my real music magazine
