Magazine Description

Magazine-Complete, a photo by BradLaceyEN on Flickr.

Via Flickr:
The title of the magazine stands out as the college is called EN, so leading the college name off into a longer word creates a sense of humour.
The colour scheme stands out as it matches the book the girl is holding.
Placing stories that catch the viewers interest.
The EN shape also creates a sense of humour and the "WIN TICKETS" catches the viewers interest as its a different colour to the stories.
I like the colour scheme and the positioning of everything.
I dislike how most titles stand out.
