Task 3 - Preliminary task- College Magazine - Finished products


InDesign was used for the contents page. I found it relatively easy to use. I do not, however, like the limited availability of colour.


Photoshop was used for the cover of my magazine. I have previous experience with Photoshop so I did not find it extremely hard, however it is more complex than InDesign. I prefer it to InDesign because it allows you to be more creative and do more things.






1) What do you like about the magazine?
2) How much would you pay if you bought this magazine?
3) Do you like the layout?
4)Do you like the colour scheme? (appropriateness)
5)What would you improve?

  1. the contents page has a lot of pictures and is organised showing that it was prepared and planned while the front cover has bold subtitles
    i will pay about £1.99
    the colour scheme seems to match and isnt in a mess
    it can be improved by enlarging the magazine name since i dont know what it is called

  2. 1) what i like about the magazine is that it looks very good since it has alot of good pictures which represent the college theme.
    2) i would pay £1.00-£2.00 since its a really good magazine and is well done.
    3) The layout is good however the front cover could have better alignment
    4Yes because the colour fits the theme and sticks to same range
    5)i would improve the alignment and the use of fonts.

  3. I like the colour scheme as it is simple and not overdone.
    I would pay £2-£3 for this magazine.
    yes the layout is neat and aesthetically pleasing.
    I think it appropriate and eye-catching.
    I would improve by adding a date and price to the front cover.

  4. I like the image on the Front Cover as it is different to others. also like the range of images used on the contents page as it creates effect. I would pay £2-3 for this magazine. I like the colour scheme as there is only two colours which makes it look tidy. The headlines could be laid out in a more neat way on the Front Cover as it looks confusing in a way. Overall it is a good magazine.

  5. 1.) I like the images because it relate to the magazine and the target audience
    2.) I would pay for around £1 so it is affordable for the students
    3.) To be honest I don't really like the layout, because I find it very unorganised which it would put me off reading the magazine
    4.)Yes, because it contrast along with the images and it represent the college
    5.) For improvement, you should change the layout because I find it very messy. Also you could maybe change the fonts style so it is creative, and for the masthead I think you should make it bigger because it is too small.
