Student magazine reflection

The main advantages of my student magazine is that I made sure that it appealed to both genders by the use of colour (red and blue) as well as the pictures being of both boys and girls, so this way my audience wasn't limited. As well as this, the things used on my magazine appeal to the target audience of teenagers e.g. exam tips, tickets to a band and interview with a celebrity. All these factors benefit a teenage market so it will make them want to buy it and I am following the rules of the tasks.

However, the disadvantages of the student magazine, is that some of the stuff that I used may have been inappropriate for a student magazine, an interview with Taylor Momsen may not be what a teenager looks for in a student magazine, but instead be more focused on revision and exams. Also, I found using indesign very difficult and often had to rely on the teacher to help me out. when I am next designing a magazine cover, I will need to be ticking to what students look for in a student magazine, as well as learn more about the software that I am using.
