Design evaluation

The first design I am going to look at is the image on the left. My deisgn is pretty simple the main picture is in the middle of a girl looking straight into the camera. The title is called "1 2 3... SDC" I chose that name because it's unique. Over the picture are sub-titles telling you what the stories are there are three stories below and three stories above so it's equal between the picture. My sub-heading is "The things you need to know abo college..." this is place under the title in a smaller font so the "123...SDC" stands out more. I think this is a good cover, even though it's simple the sub-headings are interesting to catch the readers eye. E.G "The smoking ban that split the college." This is interesting because estimately the majority of students that come to the college smoke, so if there's a sub-title like this then they would want to read more, especially if they are a smoker. I think it's a good design for a magazine.

The second design on the right is the contents page. It basically has the title "contents page" at the top in capital letters. The rest is very simple but quite effective, basically the I wrote down the page number and what it's about again and it goes from side to side, as you can see. I decided to do that because it's quite effective and it's not boring like how other magainze just have it just one sided. I think it's a good contents page because it's not like a typical contents page.
