REFLECTION

1.        What are 3 strengths of your cover page?

The colour scheme, the layout and the masthead font as it suits the magazine style

2.        What are 3 things that could be improved?

I could make the font smaller and make the picture more visible from all perspectives, I could also maybe take a photo where my models are directly addressing the camera.

3.        Thinking back about this task, if you could do one thing differently what would it be? Be specific and indicate how it would change the outcome?

I would take more than a few photos and spend more time on the way I shot them, i.e get sharper angles
