School magazine evaluation
What went well
· I made the magazine recognisable and attractive to the target audience- shows pictures of their peers and the school
· I used a clear house style with colours and fonts that suited the magazine- no childish colours, fonts that stand out while not being too in your face
· Believable and attractive article headings and language
· Clear contents page layout
· Magazine conventions (barcode, price, competition) included well
What didn’t go so well
· Layout of front cover is a bit too unorganised- It doesn’t add to the effectiveness of the cover, it should be memorable
· Competition token is too big, takes up too much space
· Photographs could have been taken better at times- I accidentally cut out one of the models hands out of one of the photos
What I could improve
· Make sure photographs are taken to their full potential- try not to cut out hands when they are a main focus of a picture
· Maybe make text stand out more on front cover- there are places where it looks faded
· Use space better- use it all to make the magazine memorable
What I need help with
· Giving the pictures on my contents more meaning- make sure they either have captions or link to what they are next to
Overall I think I done quite well with my school magazine. I done most things well and although some things could be improved I didn’t do anything terribly, so I am happy with my results.
