Preliminary task:

To improve this front cover I would put more images and sell lines to attract more people. I would also improve the writing style and title to make it more attractive and noticeable. I would also make the main image bigger to make it the main focus. The magazine needs more information about what is inside.
Contents page:

The contents page is very plain and boring. The text is confusing and needs to be organised properly. There needs to be some images to go along with the text to bring it together more. This page does not match the front cover which it needs to do so the layout and design needs to be changed to match the front cover. The contacts need to be put on another page perhaps the back page.
Making this preliminary task has helped me to pick out text and colours for my magazine and also bad things to avoid in making my magazine.
