Evaluation Of My Draft Magazine

This is the magazine I produced:


To make it I had to take a picture with a digital camera, upload it on the computer, open it on the ‘Adobe Illustrator’, edit it however I want the front of my magazine to be and add whatever I want on it to show what’s inside.
I added text and star shape for the headline of my magazine, a ‘G’ and a ‘star’ as a shape but the shape meaning as a word ‘star’ so it’s called ‘G [star]’. Then I just took some pictures from internet and put them as a teaser, with short explanations just to explain exactly what’s inside the magazine.
After I took a bar code from internet put it on the cover and put the price on top, because when people find a magazine they like they and want to purchase they mostly are searching for the barcode to find out the price because it’s usually is found right next to the bar code. I also used a lot of bright colours so it would attract everybody’s eyes against the competition of magazines.

To improve the look of my magazine I think I would spend more time editing the picture and maybe even deleting the background, so the whole attention is based on the people on the cover.
The headline of my magazine is not really that basic to understand so to improve on it I think I would write in small letters and in brackets ‘[star]’, somewhere in the middle of the star so then everyone would understand what is meant by ‘G [star]’.
I would also add more information on what’s inside, and add a big teaser like ‘Secrets of looking good’ or ‘How to find the perfect man’ which would attract more girls to my magazine because everyone would be curious.
And if I got time I could also think about something unique I could put on my magazine to attract more customers.
