maximum of 3 fonts? Have they used a different font for their masthead and their coverlines? The font was used effectively and was very clear.
Is there a clear colour scheme? Is there a sense of branding / House style The colour scheme was very clear and effective and clearly set out. I think the blue went well with the background image

Is the picture believable/well edited? Not very well edited
Is the picture suitable for the magazine? (Subject, model, mise-en-scene, costume, props, location) Good picture, not the best quality
Is Spelling Punctuation and Grammar accurate-Are there any typos? No spelling errors
