Overall, I feel that my problem page was a success.
I found that I didn't stick to my plan as much as I had expected. I kept the colour scheme and the basic plan of it the same it was just the layout that had changed. This is visible from looking at both the design and the finished product together. I found that I had written more than I had expected therefore spacing was a problem, however I managed to get around this problem by varying my font size and positioning.
I found it helpful to create a quick mock up of the design of my page. If I hadn't of done this, I would of been very indecisive with my choices.
My favourite part of my page is the colour scheme. I found that I kept to the original plan when it came to the colours and did not go over board with the brightness of the page. It still stands out the the reader however it isn't quite so 'in your face' as other similar style magazines are.
I feel that my design of the page fitted the target audience well as it was for women, I had stuck to the stereotypical girly pinks, purples and oranges. I found it was a safe option to do however I would of enjoyed making a page for both male and female readers as it would of challeged what designs I use, my wording and colour.
For my main coursework portfolio I feel I could work on the quality of my designs and final product. I feel I could of worked on this slightly more and focused on the design more and would enjoy usuing a different program to create it, pushing myself to create a more attractive product.
This project has been helpful to get the grasp of the time we have to meet our deadline and what we need to put into our work.
