research and planning: magazine evaluation

The font size-
The font size on the magazine cover and content is different. This is to make the cover lines stand out from the others and the content page numbers are big to make it stand out from the words but there isn't much difference. you can tell the difference between the heading and the cover line and this makes it look professional.

Three colour rule-
This college magazine does follow the three colour rule only in the content but not the cover page. This is because the colours look familiar to the student if I was to add all of the colours of the college logo. I would criticize the fact the front cover doesn't follow the three colour rule theme because it doesn't look professional.

Can you tell that the cover and content are from the same magazine?
Yes you can because the image and colour synergies between the cover and content and this follows the codes and convention of a magazine this makes it look professional.

Are the photos appropriate for the magazine?
Yes they are because the image of the girl is a student and the background is front/entrance of the college, the image is conventional to the college magazine. And you can also see the images properly and it's just right because I don't think there is any error.

Are there enough cover-lines in the cover and content page?
There are enough cover lines/stories in the magazine cover and they are appropriate for the magazine because the cover-lines are college related. There isn't enough cover-lines/stories in the content because there is a gap below the picture and the cover-lines does relate to the cover line in front of the magazine.
