When designing this magazine I found the content lent itself to the production and my decisions that I had to make, therefore I am glad that I collected and designed the content before deciding on the binding method. The most successful aspect of this magazine in my opinion was the content layout as it successfully achieved my intended aesthetic of sleek and simple, while creating the perfect balance between text and imagery. Another successful aspect of the magazines design was the use of colourful images contrasting with the white background and the black text creating striking spreads. If I had the chance to develop the publication the main change I would make would be to change the paper of the cover form Matt to silk or gloss as the matt paper easily showed up marks and imperfections that would not lend its self to been mass produced. If I was to make another one I would increase the expertise of the tips for example you’d hope that the audience would grow there knowledge with the publications. If the magazines popularity increased substantially there is room to incorporate possible adverts or vouchers to support the reader with the growing of there plants. The final magazine that I created was not as perfect as I intended as the edges are not 100% straight and the cover is marked because of the matt cover, if I had known this before hand I would have invested in paying for the magazine to be professionally printed to eliminate these problems.
