",oth pieces show gooddetail and precise informationwhich will enable the readerto be able to see things andunderstand things withoutbeing bored when looking atthe contents and front cover." $lso there is a good

consistency of the house stylewhich makes the magazinecover look even moreprofessional. There%s a varietyof shot angles been takenwhich adds di#erences to theeye making the magazinestand out amongst othersagainst certain things.

"&ne thing for improvementwould be that maybe try and

make the logo slightlybrighter so it stands out moreon the page cover.

"There is a goodelement of creativityon this magazine sofar as several thingsuch as the mast headtext type stands outamongst those whichhaven%t been edited.

"$lso the house styleused is appropriate forall of those who attendan all"boys school. ,yusing colours like blueand red can already beidentifying a speci)ctarget audiencewithout having to readit.
