I modified my front cover to this that i personally feel is more effective.

This was my flatplan for my double page spread about Rihanna.

This particular content page of a magazine i personally find as the reader, is effective and engages the audience by the basic colour scheme, black and white, contrasting colours to make each other stand out but also the highlight of pink to highlight key infomration and also help it stand out even more. The image is unusual how it contains a mushroom which made it eye catching for me as the reader. The big bold 'Content' across the page is also effective as it's basic but makes me want to read on. However, the layut of the content page i am not so keen on because it doesnt consist of much variety or text and it mainly made up of the title and main image.

This particular content page i find is very effective towards me because of the main image used as the background of the page black and white contrasting colours with a hind of red on the numbers and coat to make it stand out from others, also making it look more intersting to the reader of the magazine. the 'content' title doesn't stand out to me on the page it;'s mainly the image which could confuse the reader, however that may just be my opinion.

I particulally like this content page of a magazine because it is unusual and distinctive by the use of layout and main image used. The not typical layout adds effect to the page making it look more interesting than it actually is. i like the idea of how the 'Content' is presented on the page and would maybe like to relate my content page similar to this. The colour scheme of the page is effective and contrasts well with the main image.

This is all the feedback i recieved from my peers in my class about my magazine cover.
