Magazine practical task evaluation

1) 2) I think I have fully succeeded in completing my magazine. However, i originally picked a different magazine to make, but didn't do that one as I cam across this and thought it was better suited to me. 3) I think that my work looks fairly professional along side these magazine covers. The style and colour-scheme matches, the look of the models and central image, barcode etc. 4) I believe that the strongest aspect of my work is the central image, it looks very professional and uses direct address which is what they all use. 5) The weakest aspect was probably thinking of cover lines to match the central image, you have to use something unique,and i wanted to create my own feel to the magazine, so fashion and beauty is the theme of my magazine.  6) I would plan differently, so make sure to look at all the options first as i originally picked another magazine and planned and researched on it which wasted my time.

On one of the corners it will say: 'ModernSalon.com' 4) This is my sketch (draft):

1) The three different magazines are: 2) The reason I have chosen these three magazines is because they are fashion magazines , however they have used simple techniques to convey fashion. The magazine that I will be using is: Modern Salon . The reason I have chosen this magazine is because it is a fashion magazine, but its main focus is hairstyling (which will be easy for the photoshoot.) This magazine tends to revolve around one main idea. They use soft, but bold colours and the model isn't in a fixed position so my model can be flexible. What reinforces this idea further is the numerous cover lines at the front and occasionally some stats so makes it different from other magazines. 3) These are the different styles of Modern Salon magazines. We can see how this magazine is already well established as the central model is blocking the masthead. Additionally, the title is a very sophisticated serif font and tall lettering  which attracts a ...
