After talking to some students, I showed them the designs that I had come up with and then asked them to write about what they thought. I asked them about what they liked, what they thought could be improved and whether they think the magazine would appeal to other students/parents. Here are their responses:
#1 on Magazine Cover:
"It's attention grabbing. I like the title and picture, it shows Wyke is a nice, happy place to be judging by the background image and the smiling students.
The banner colours could be different to the heading font but it looks fine as it is."
#1 on Contents page:
"I like how it's varied from the Oak to Ash building, and a close up smiley face from a student. Once again, the font colour for "contents:" could differ but that's not a big deal. I like the listing and page numbers. Perhaps a little more colour."
#2 on Magazine Cover:
"It's simple which looks effective and draws thwe eye as it's not cluttered. The photo makes the college look like a nice, friendly place to be with space to sit outside.
The title could be slightly brighter to stand out from the black outline."
#2 on Contents Page:
"I like how it's different from the cover and shows off different buildings. I also like how the contents have been numbered. The colours could be varied."
I think the overall impression of my designs is positive but I could have varied the fonts and the colours a bit more. I will consider this when designing for other projects.
