i'm a graphic design student and i just made these pages for a mock up magazine and would love to get some input. these are just mock ups for my editorial class, however i am working on writing a thesis proposal that would be me making a full, properly published magazine exploring the relationship and ideas of fashion and gender.

i think you should work on the heirachy of elements on each spread, the grid itself is OK but a little uninspired and safe. Also try some serif tpye options or even a mixture of the two, the current is a bit played out and stale (same goes for caption typeface). basically, you should try push yourself a little further.

well put. as for move ment, thank you, i'll look at some titling in a serif, my body text is goudy old style, however i feel it goudy doesn't work too well as headings, so i think to avoid clashing two serif any other serif would have to be a specific title font like perpetua or trajan...

I love the solid grid feel and general flow of the work, the only thing im not keen on is the big black block with the title in on the cover but that's just my own taste. Over all looks clean and works well.
Im also a first year graphic design student so was stoked when i saw this posted up.

Heavy grid use in the case of a design like this is fine, but it can be predictable. Try playing with pushing elements through the grid parts in unexpected ways.
Your typography is nice, but a bit boring. Don't be afraid to convert your type to outlines and play with it a little bit, perhaps removing the counters in your titles or something similar. Absolutely try using a serif font; from a practical standpoint, body copy in print is much easier to read, and from an aesthetic standpoint, the piece won't come off as being so one-dimensional. A slab serif like ITC Officina can retain the clean look you're going for but still add variation to the design.
