I liked the idea that my cover had a theme (A Spanish theme). I did this by using the colours of the Spanish flag, which are red and yellow and typical Spanish writing fonts. This tied up with the person holding the Spanish dictionary on the the front cover and the sub heading "student wins national spanish prize". The picture shot the library because i wanted the student to seem conscientious and shows the college in a good light, also my shot was in focus. The title 'SMC Today' is to the point and i think catches the readers eye straight away.

However, the lighting in the shot i used for my background picture was not as i hoped, i think the lighting is too dark and the pose of the person isn't exactly what i wanted and she has red eye in the picture which makes it seem less professional and more rushed. Ideally i wanted a shot that didn't have a library in the background. I believe the he sub heading is too hards to read and too small.

I will make sure a do not make the same mistakes with my main front cover.
