Second draft of my school magazine

This is my second flatplan for my preliminary task of the school publication; I have now added my colour scheme onto the magazine, to show the theme I have planned to use, by presenting it on my Front cover and Contents page. I am still very pleased with the layout and I feel the way I've made the colours sink in is done quite well, however, with using Publisher, I think the colours can not all mesh well together, so you have to stick to a variety of one colour, for example, Blue, like I have done, in order for it to look good. I am not disappointed with the way my ideas for my school publication look, although I would prefer to have used more of a variety of different colours.
On the other hand, by keeping the colours to a variety of the same (Blue in my case), it does tend to look quite professional and organised; sometimes with having a variety of different colours, it can look quite messy and not fit right. Simplicity can sometimes be the best with these types of publications, in order to look their best.
