magazine basics

above is my preliminary magazine. I believe that it was successful and would work well for a teenage audience. i have made it new and interesting, breaking the conventions by placing the title at the bottom of the page instead of the top. however, i feel that placing the information on the page was awkward. on several occasions i found myself covering the picture with all my content information. the title at the top (the SMC logo) was rough and cut badly. i did not feel that it would look good to go on shop shelves. the background against the picture however was eye catching although the picture itself was a bit plain and could have livened it up by making the two students stand in a different position, maybe posing for the photo. i feel that the yellow writing was effective on a black background, catching the eye. :)
