4.  For my own magazine I wanted to stick to the more
‘conventional’ layout. I did this because I wanted my
audience to be able to identify it as a magazine instantly,
also I seen it as a way to convey a professional, clean
cut vibe.
 However I did use a variety of colours to enhance my
cover and contents page; I did this to make it more eye
catching and give a vibrancy of youthfulness and fun. I
chose the colour scheme of blues and pinks as my font;
I wanted it to be relatable to male and female readers,
but looking as the finished product I believe it looks
slightly more female orientated as the main image is of
two female models and the pink colours is more
dominant than the blue, if I were to change anything I
would balance the colour scheme for both genders and
maybe add a image of a male student.

5.  I tried to keep the cover and contents neat and
organised, for my contents all text is centre of the
page as it is the most important element, however I
did not add in any page numbers; if I had to
recreate or fix any problems with this task I would
defiantly make this top of my agenda. My house
style colours were blues and pinks which I did stick
too overlapping with the contents page, I did this so
it looked seamless and professional. Also I wanted
these bright colours as I wanted the magazine to be
inviting and playful.
