a) What qualities of your magazine cover make it effective? (eg. What makes it eye catching?, What about it promotes curiosity?, How is it visually pleasing?, What makes it easy to understand?)
the eye catching things about my mag is the BOLD writing and BIIIGGG soo people wanna read wat i wrote.. it was hard tryna keep the writing in areas with little detail so that the words dont completly vanish into like my bangles or something n u can hardly read wat im tryna write. i think what promotes my readers curiosity is not revealing to much information but just enough like ‘10 things he will love’. people will wonder like whos gonna love what n how they can make that person happy. the first person thier gonna think of is thier man n so thier gonna wanna know how 2 make em love ‘it’ lol its visually pleasing cus im on it.. duhh.. nahh i liedd its pleasing cus the colours r cordinated n very easy to read. easy to understand cus i think i already said this but the colours dont blend in with its surroundings so everything is easily accesable to the eyeball
b) What was the order of hierarchy you were trying to achieve for the elements on your magazine cover?
1. MEE =/
2. MY CLOTHES
3. THE FEATURED STORIES
..was it working ? =]
