My Evaluation

My Evaluation

I have created my own magazine (cover and contents page) for Epsom and Ewell High School.

The best parts of my front cover include a title 'Exclusive Magazine' which is important to show the audience what the magazine is based on and what it will be covering. Another key part of my magazine cover and contents is the fonts and colours, I have used blue, yellow, green and white which are the main colours of the school logo and also makes different parts of the magazine stand out. By having a sans serif font suggests it is quite casual and aimed at students.

Finally, another good feature of my magazine and contents page is the images, this is because they show the schools achievements and hard working pupils. 

On the other hand the worst parts of my magazine include a less professional outcome, and not enough information about the magazine. 

My magazine includes many codes and conventions such as the masthead/title, feature stories, images, text and a barcode. I have done this so it is easy to identify I have created a magazine that will appeal to different audiences. Also by using a barcode suggests the magazine is for purchasing, either by students or parents.

If I could change my magazine I would make it look more professional by including more information and better images. 

By creating this magazine has help me to understand the layout of a magazine cover and contents page. It has helped me to think about how to layout my music magazine and how to give it a professional appearance.

Overall I found this project to be easy because we have looked at different magazines to give a understanding on how they should look and how they will anchor its target audience.
