Firstly, I think that my font sizes are correct and are also suitable for a college magazine as I have compared my fonts to an official magazine and have seen that they are similar. I think that my masthead is very good and professional-looking because it is the largest font on the cover page and also catches the audiences eye.
Secondly, my magazine does conform to the three-colour rule (red, white and blue), as I have the text on the main cover as red and white but then on my cover page it is mainly blue. I have done this to show a clear definition between my cover page (I did not think that blue would be attractive on the main image) and my contents page (I personally believe that the colour blue suits the contents page much better as it is more neutral, and therefore it wouldn't be suitable to put on the cover page as neutral doesn't necessarily attract attention in my opinion).
However, one downside to my design is possibly that I am not very confident in saying that the contents page matches my front cover. I think this is because I did not spend as much time on my contents page as I did my front cover, and therefore it is not as good.
In my opinion I think that my images are very suitable as they were shot in the library which is extremely academic (and this is a student magazine so obviously that is the message I wish to give the audience). My model is smart and presentable, and I have also ensured that my images are mid-shots, which was in the design specification. My photographs are also clear and sharp which makes them good quality (like a professional magazine would have too).
Lastly, I think that my cover lines are most definitely suitable to the magazine as they are articles concerning student services advice on dealing with work load, and the other article is an interview with Deborah Allen talking about why the A-Level results have improved and are improving…! I think that both of these cover lines are relevant to the magazine and are also up to date with activities at the college.
Overall, I am pleased with my college magazine as the only element that I would change/improve is my contents page.
