Magazine Critique (San Francisco Chef)

Mr. Julien told us to look through the magazine we are supposed to redesign (depending on what group we are in) and critiquing it. Here is what I observed:

1) Don't like the master-head of the magazine. It needs to be more modern looking like the DC Chefs magazine- something sans serif and more modern looking.

2) Type is too big in most places especially in the table on contents

3) Article titles are boring and the grids on the chef features are horrible

4) I really don't like the "on the side" section, it takes away from the article.

5) Photography treatments aren't interesting at all and most photos are color corrected and lack contrast.
