Classroom Blog for Publications Class

The following posts and comments were made during the Fall 2014 in The New England Institute of Art's Graphic Design Publication class and were meant to facilitate the process of work, feedback, rework, and continual feedback to meet the needs of the students and their progress.

Final stages of Habitat Magazine, interested in some feedback before print.

Full Magazine Layout

Here is my full magazine layout so far.
Just a quick reminder: my magazine is targeted towards high school students grades 11–12.

I decided to edit my department spreads because I felt they were a little too busy and not keeping with the clean consistency of white–space in the rest of the spreads. I still need to download a few photos from Thinkstock so there might be a few pixelated/burry ones in the drafts.
Are the Feature articles too similar?

FULL MAGAZINE Revise

I feel like it's almost there. Unsure about the color for the "Future Frontiers". Still open for suggestions, but overall I am very happy with the way it is. Still need to edit a few of the photos. All minor things. 

Edits

Recipes page

So for my last couple of pages I chose to do recipes page. I really like the way it came out, just wondering if the side bars are to much.

Updated Ads

Here are my updated pieces. The Evolution Fresh ad and a PSA/Ad for the back of the magazine. It is a Dove ad that ties into they're "you are beautiful campaign"

I know the wording in the ad may look a little hard to read over the grape but printed out it isn't hard to read at all.
