1. EVALUATION
Q7. Looking back at the preliminary task, what do you feel you
have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

2. FRONT COVER
MY SCHOOL AND MUSIC MAGAZINE

3. SCHOOL MAGAZINE (problems)
• NO STRAP LINE
• NO POSISTIONING STATEMENT
• THE PICTURE THAT I TOOK WAS BLARED
• MY PHOTOGRAPH IS NOT AS CENTRAL AS IT COULD’VE BEEN
• MY BARCODE ISN’T FULLY FITTED INTO THE BOTTOM RIGHT
HAND SIDE OF MY SCHOOL MAGAZINE FRONT COVER
•NO COLOUR SCHEME
• THE TITLE OF MY MAGAZINE DOESN’T FIT THE FULL WIDTH
OF THE PAGE
• THE ISSUE NUMBER, DATE, AND PRICE, ARE NOT ON THE
SAME LINE AS EACH OTHER
• COVER LINES ARE OF THE SAME FONT AND SIZE
• NO MAIN HEADLINE
• PICTURE DOESN’T FILL THE WHOLE OF THE FRONT COVER
• DOESN’T LOOK APPEALING

4. MUSIC MAGAZINE (differences)
•DURING THE CREATION OF MY MAGAZINE, I LEARNT THAT THE
TITLE HAD TO FILL THE FULL WIDTH OF MY MAGAZINE FRONT
COVER, IN ORDER FOR IT TO GRAB PEOPLES ATTENTION
• IN ORDER FOR MY MAGAZINE TO BE NOTICED, I HAD TO
CHOOSE THE APPROPRIATE IMAGE THAT CORRESPONDED
WELL WITH THE GENRE OF MY MUSIC MAGAZINE, MY TARGET
AUDIENCE, BUT ALSO MY COLOUR SCHEME AS WELL
•IN ORDER TO MAKE IT LOOK PROFESSIONAL I HAD TO MAKE
IT LOOK APPEALING TO MY TARGET AUDIENCE OF 35 YEARS
AND UPWARDS (COLOUR SCHEME)
• I ADDED GLOW TO THE BACKGROUND OF MY IMAGE, IN
ORDER TO MAKE IT LOOK APPEALING AND EYE-CATCHING
TOWARDS CUSTOMERS
• I HAVE ALSO CREATED A POSITIONING THAT RELATES TO THE
GENRE OF MY MUSIC MAGAZINE
• I ALSO LEARNT THAT IN ORDER TO GET A DECENT
PHOTOGRAPH, THE MEGA PIXEL HAD TO BE 10 OR MORE
• THAT THE FRONT COVER IMAGE IS THE ONE THING THAT HAS
TO TAKE UP MAJORITY, BUT NOT ALL OF THE FRONT COVER

5. CONTENTS PAGE
MY SCHOOL AND MUSIC MAGAZINE

6. SCHOOL CONTENTS PAGE (problems)
• CONTENT PAGE ONLY CONSISTS OF 3 IMAGES
• HAS ONLY 6 HEADLINES
• HAS ‘PAGE’ IN FRONT OF ALL OF THE PAGE NUMBERS
• ALL THE TEXT, APART FROM THE ‘PAGE’ AND NUMBERS, ARE
ALL WRITTEN IN THE SAME FONT STYLE
• THE IMAGES THAT I TOOK FOR MY SCHOOL MAGAZINE ARE
ALSO, LIKE THE FRONT COVER, BLARED
• THE BANNER SAYING ‘FREE INSIDE....’ IS TO CLOSE TO THE
TOP TWO PHOTOGRAPHS
• DOESN’T REACH OUT AND GRAB PEOPLES ATTENTION
• NOT PLANNED

7. MUSIC CONTENTS PAGE (differences)
• MY MUSIC CONTENTS PAGE OF A MAXIMUM OF FIVE IMAGES,
THE SAME AMOUNT OF IMAGES USED IN A PROFESSIONAL
MAGAZINE
• THE FEATURE ARTICLES AND REGULAR CONTENTS OF MY
MAGAZINE ARE CLEARY IDENTIFIABLE
• THAT THE DATE OF THE MAGAZINE HAS TO APPEAR ON THE
CONTENTS PAGE IN ORDER TO LINK IT TO THIS PARTICULAR
MAGAZINE ISSUE
• I HAVE LINKED EACH IMAGE THAT I’VE IMPORTED TO THE
RELEVANT FEATURE ARTICLE BY PLACING NUMBERS IN THE
BOTTOM
• THERE ISN’T ‘PAGE’ IN FRONT OF THE PAGE NUMBERS
• THE PHOTOGRAPHS I SELECTED I CHOSE BECAUSE OF THE
DETAIL (MEGA PIXELS MORE THAN 10)
• I HAD PLANNED OUT WHAT I WAS GOING TO IMPORT AND
WRITE ONTO MY CONTENTS PAGE WHEREAS I HADN’T FOR MY
SCHOOL CONTENT PAGE
• HAS TO LOOK PRESENTABLE IN ORDER TO DRAW IN
PEOPLES ATTENTION
