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.
