This document evaluates the effectiveness of magazine design elements on the front cover and contents page of a magazine. It contains two sections:
1. The first section analyzes the front cover of an actual magazine and finds that the large main image, masculine font, and effective cover stories make the design conventional for the genre.
2. The second section evaluates the contents page design of the sample magazine and the author's own design. It determines that key elements like the masthead, main image placement, features list, and pull quotes are similarly structured and therefore make the author's design conventional compared to an actual magazine.
