Draft Magazine Evaluation

What works?

The grey scale gradient of the ‘space cloud’ background blends in well with the figure. The clouds and skin tone match well, whilst the hair and black font complement each other well.
The background theme suits the ‘flying hair’ well as it gives an outer space feel with no limitations and no fore pulling you down.

Layout Conventions

The layout conventions I used are:
·      Mast head
·      Cover line
·      Dateline and barcode
·      Main cover line
·      Main image
·      Buzz words

Improvements

To improve, I think the photo of the figure should be easier to see. The hair seemingly disappears when the actual length should be the full way of the cover length.
The cover line font should match the solar system theme and probably be on both sides of the magazine whilst the picture is in the middle to make the two thirds.

I should put a top line in along with slogans or catch phrases to draw attention.
