Pre-lim - St Andrews Magazine Cover

Positive Features: 

The language and terminology used is perfect for the target audience of Year 11 Girls.
The name of the magazine works and the central image has positive structure due to the posture of the model and the fact that she has eye contact with the audience.
There is good use of codes and conventions alike to real media products.



Negative Features:
The masthead needs to be larger so that it appeals more to the audience and makes it more eye-catching.
The background needs to be stronger - the light blue is sickly and swallows the image (due to the blue shirt) preventing it from being bold; thus preventing reader engagement.
The image needs to bigger so that it covers the entire page.
Yellow is hard to read, make it stand out (with an outline, different colour, or make it bigger).
Lastly, vary the style of font more so that the cover is over all more eye-catching.
