Preliminary task

This is my Preliminary task front cover that i did in IN Design. I think overall the cover looks quite bland and not very interesting. Even though the colours stand out against the black background it doesn't really appeal to me. It has given me a good insight on how to use things such as photoshop and IN Design that i can now use my skills and transfer them to when i make my proper magazine to make it look better. I think my final design needs to be able to stand out more using a better style of title and make sure that all the gaps are filled up as it looks a bit boring and plain. Also the picture needs to be a lot bigger covering a lot more of the page as at the moment there is too much wasted space. I think i need to use a better colour scheme as the colours on this magazine don't really go well together and class a bit too much. Overall i don't like this magazine but it has helped me understand how to work the different programs to make my magazine.
