Above is a link to a students magazine which i aim going to analyse and compare to my own and see what i could have changed and what i could do differently.
Firstly i feel that this magazine follows most of the conventions of a typical magazine cover but i beleive that it is nowhere near the standard that i feel it should be at. My initial thoughts were about the image, and how it is a very pixalated image and the on screen image does not do the magzine much help therefore runining the page as a whole. Secondly i felt that the large purple star took the readers eye away from the important text too much, i felt it should be smaller than it currently is. Apart from these i felt the texts as a whole resembled that of a typical magzine cover and i felt they were formal enough to make it look professional. I also felt the masthead was very conventional of that of magazine covers and it works well with the other text which is placed on the page. The strapline at the very top of the page i felt was also very good and if i were to change mine this would be a possible change that i would make to it.
The other peices i may use from this page would be to move all the important under the masthead e.g. the barcode and website so that when looking at the price the customer will get the rest of the information in the same image.
