As my contents page for my college magazine is only a mock up, I didnt put pictures up for every page but i put coloured boxes to indicate where they would go. I numbered the pages evenly because I would want the pages to be double page spreads for each one. I put things in the magazines that I think students would find interesting. All the colours on my contents page match the front cover so you can tell that they are the same magazine.
Overall I think that I managed to capture the codes and conventions of a real magazine effectively. This is because my magazine cover used a medium close-up shot of the cover star as well as using text over the top of the photo, similar to a real magazine. Furthermore, my contents page uses photos along one side with page numbers on top and then a list with further details and page references, comparable to a real magazine. In addition to this, I think the colour scheme used (blue and white) fits the target audience (school students) appropriately. However, one thing that could be improved is the magazine’s heading on the cover; if made slightly bolder and possibly in a different font, it would stand out more and therefore be more successful.
I think the images that I used for my final college magazine fit the pages well. The medium close up shot fits the page well and has a plain background so it isn't too distracting to the eye and you can concentrate on the actual person. The colours that the cover star is wearing match the colour code used for my magazine (blue).
