To evaluate, i believe that i used appropiate colours to illustate the school in my newsletter. The colourful images and backgrounds are contrasted with the white text. My newsletters busy and full of colour to attract readers. If i was to do it again i would choose another font for my tittle and merge my pictures into the background, making the pictures joint. Overall im pleased with my newsletter, but believe i could have made it slightly more complex however then it to loose its apperance to the targeted audience. If i was to re-do my prilimanary task i would use a different background and layout more wisely. The background photo is too strong and the article does'nt stand out well enough against it- could of been better to cut that and go for a bolder headlines instead. Also 'inside the issue' skybox doesn't stand out clearly and seems a bit too formal next to the sporty, youthful photo. I would change that headline and quotes to 'smart and focused.' Tweek aspects so the main and ancillary photos work better together. Improving my language will help others understand my blog more easily, using more technical jargon. Instead of 'theres a sqaure box at the bottom right of my page' i will talk about a skybox on the bottom right ear of the page.'

Another aspect of my contents page is the mulberry structure. I used the red colour since its one of the current school colours and i wanted to exploit that throughout my magazine. The background again is another colour symballizing the school i merged the blue to white, at the top to fade into the tittle. The contents is shown in a larger box then on the previous page, i chose a large italic font to vary the font from the previous page. Making the magazine begin to look more formal.
