Evaulation of my College Magazine

Overall, my college magazine product was fun to make and gave me a greater insight on what to improve, and maybe some things I could change; prehaps a different layout.
The symbol of the greek letter "lambda" was a direct iconic reference to a best selling computer game (which used the same symbol). My magazine was based around the idea of science, and you can see most of the coverlines are associated with science and even the masthead is referencing to the same game I was mentioning (Half-Life).
My college magazine and contents may have only had one picture to work from, but I've learned to take more to add a more interesting feel to it, instead of one boring photograph.
My music magazine directly reflects what I've learned from my experiences making the college magazine. What makes a magazine good and what doesn't work, were especially important.
My conclusion is that although my college magazine did not share many features that my music magazine may have had, it still serves as a direct template to my mistakes and hopefully into making a better magazine for certain audiences.
