L04: Evaluation of final product

Evaluation of Front Cover

For my front cover of my magazine, i believe i did meet the brief proposal ideas, as the colour scheme i set out for my front cover, have worked really well for my magazine design. Throughout the editing i did for my front cover, i think what stood out the most for my magazine was the masthead, as i feel like that will be the first thing that draws the attention to my audience.  The reason why i think my front cover will appeal to my audience is because the first thing that should catch their attention is the masthead, due to me giving it 3D features along with have bright colours and added details to make it more eye drawing. Also, using photos other than just having the main cover image, would also give my audience a tease of what type of content is stored within the magazine. Also, i think the sell lines that i have used for my magazine would be very effective, as most of them are questions to get the audience thinking. 

Double Page Spread Analysis 

For my double page spread, i feel like the overall design for my double page spread, was a success, as i managed to get the colour scheme that i used for my front cover in for my double page spread, along with using the masthead from my front cover to be included in the double page spread for branding. I also think the design overall fits in with my proposal, as i wanted to take inspiration from the Kerrang magazine double page spread by giving it a similar design. Overall i have met the appeal to my audience, as my primary audience for the magazine is the general public who play Snooker, as the entire content placed in the double page spread is dedicated to the public, as my model in the magazine is an amateur player for Snooker, just like most people who play it at local pubs or events.

Evaluation for Contents Page

For my contents page, the design for the page is simple, but effective, as the page itself stores enough detail and information that my magazine needs. The contents page did meet the proposal, as it follows the same layout i had planned out. However, i had to do one improvisation as the font i used on the double page spread and front cover was removed from Adobe and had to find a font that was similar to what the other looked like. My audience would be able to tell from looking at the contents page of my double page spread that the magazine either links to Pool or Snooker. However, since i added the front cover on part of my contents page, reading the masthead on it would instantly inform you that it is a Snooker magazine.
