Evaluation

I  think my school magazine is eye catching because i chose red writing for the title and certain words i wanted to be bold. This is because the background is white, and the red stands out as they are contrasting colours. I varied my font size and colour for the subtitles down the sides to make them more interesting to look at and also read. I also made the title of the magazine alliterative as it is catchy.
 The colour theme of the text on the magazines cover is black, red and blue, the dark blue text, links in with the picture because my models jumper is also dark blue.  I also made sure my models face or the eyes on her drawing are not covered with text, as both eyes are connecting with the audience. I chose these colours for the text because they will be both attractive to boys and girls, and therefore it does not favour either gender. 
I didn't choose any certain language to use because my magazine will be read by both students and parents, therefore using colloquial language that suits just one of those, will be less attracted to the magazine than  the other. 
The sub titles down the side are facts about a few things the magazine consists of, that would attract the art students of the school or any student interested in the school and art.
 Under the title i wrote a quotation presented as a fact, therefore the audience that reads it, will believe this is true rather than just thinking, this is something that one person thinks. The sub titles down the sides are very persuading to young artists as they are always looking for inspiration and ways to improve their skills, therefore knowing there are tips and new art supplies to be won will makes them want to read it. 
The text is memorable because of the variety of fonts that has been used in each small sentence. Also the bold words that have been highlighted in red for example the word 'WIN' this draws the eye because art supplies can be expensive and the chance to win new things is exciting for anybody. The colour theme has been repeated using dark blue and black alternately grabs attention because it is satisfying to the human eye. 
The layout of the magazine cover is not typical of a usual cover because there would usually be writing all over the picture in the background apart from the face.  
I think its clear when you look at the magazine, who the target audience is, because it would not appeal to many other people.
