Evaluation

Evaluation of Final Front Cover

For my final front cover of my school magazine, I tried to follow as many typical conventions of a magazine as I could. I used a barcode, cover lines, a main image, the date, issue number, a masthead and a price. I made sure when creating my magazine that I went along with the theme and colours chosen when I did my questionnaire to make sure my readers would be getting what they want. I used the colours blue and white on my models clothing. I then stayed with the Autumn theme by tinting all of my page orange in photo shop. I made sure when producing my magazine that it was aimed at the correct audience. Seeing as it was a school magazine I assumed that the best audience would be the pupils at school. I tried to make it fun and interesting for them and  made sure I included topics that they would want to read. I also made sure there was a varitey to read about as there are plently of social groups within the school, meaning that not everyone would want to read about the same things. Overall, I believe my magazine was a great success and I am very pleased with it's outcome. If I did have the chance to make it again I think I would change the amount of text I included, adding more text would give the readers something more to read therefore maybe drawing them in a little more than they already are.

Evaluation of Contents Page

For my final contents page of my  school magazine, I aimed to fit in as many typical magazine conventions as I could. I used page numbers followed by what was on that page, I also used a masthead clearly stating that it was the contents page. I kept my theme of Autumn going through my contents page as well as my front page, by tinting the background image orange. I also kept the theme going through the text by having orange and white text. I decided to put three more pictures of the school on this page to fill it up and make it more interesting. If I ever remade my contents page I would probably have chosen another font for the text to make it blend into the magazine more. I would have also added more pictures to y contents page relating to what was on other pages. Overall, I believe that my magazine contents page was very good and that I did as good as I could do. 

Final Front Cover And Contents Page

Above are my final images for my front page and contents page.

Final Location Shot

This is the final location shot which I chose. I specificly chose this image because i feel it shows my theme, Autumn, well and it has some good colour and lighting within it. When i take my photo it will have two students standing infront of this scene for my font cover.

Location Shot Choices

Here are my four location shots that i can choose between. I chose these four images because the all capture the schools beauty, display good colour and show interesting surroundings.

 

Hand Drawn Designs

These are my hand drawn Front Page and Contents Page Templates. This is how I imagine my magazine to look and i will base the pages on these sketches.

Questionnaire Results

These are the results I gathered from asking 10 people each question from my questionnaire. I decided to present them using a colourful pie chart as i feel it displays clearly my results.
