Preliminary Task: Final Magazine cover and Contents page cohesion

Here is my final front cover and contents page for my magazine as part of the preliminary task.

I believe they came out successfully and matches each other such as the use of feature colours and graphics. As I have spent time and effort on adjusting the layers and overall editing it such as the brightness, and experimenting with the background shadowing I am not only pleased with my work but, have also impacted in a positive way as I have picked up on new key skills. 

I made use of making the fonts similar yet different to create a professional and intriguing look for the target audience (aimed at 16-18 year olds). 

To improve, I could have added more text onto the right hand side of the front cover, like I have with the contents page, as it does feel a bit empty.
