Superhero Magazine Review
Overall, I
think my magazine turned out well. I think it looked good, it was very
appealing and it had lots of information. I think the front cover looked good
with the background it had, London. I tried to make the headlines stand out by
using colour and I also tried to make them stand out by putting a glow behind
the writing as the background made it very hard to read the writing. I feel
that the half covered by London page on the contents looks very professional
and effective as it looks like a stylish design. I think that I used a good
selection of contents for my magazine because there were a good variety of
headlines. I thought that my cover picture suited the task well, I was dressed
in a shirt, trousers and blazer, however I was also wearing a Spiderman
costume, that’s where I customized the magazine to my preferences which made my
magazine a little bit different to other magazines which is what I like; to be
a little different; to stand out. I think the superhero icons going along the
bottom of the front cover looked very cool and effective, they really added to
the theme of the magazine. The title of the magazine, ‘The Avenger’, also
really fitted in with the theme and it also sounded very good.
However, I
feel if I had more time, more money and better resources I could have made my
magazine a lot better. I think I could’ve made my front cover a little better,
by perhaps making the front cover a little less clustered. I feel there was too
much information on the front cover and a few too many pictures. I think if the
front cover was a little more plain and less clustered it would’ve looked a lot
more professional. For my contents page, I could’ve perhaps made the writing a
little bigger, to fill the page fully, I could’ve done this by perhaps making
the half London a little less than half, perhaps only fill 1/3 of the page with
it. I could’ve also used water colour so I could’ve seen the text over it. I think
I could’ve done other stuff on my contents page other than headlines so I could’ve
included some competitions and tournaments to give a different purpose because
some people may want a bit more variety. I just think my front cover is too clustered and my contents page is a bit too basic.
