What aspects of your work are you pleased with and why?

What aspects of your work do you think could be improved and why?

I am pleased with my main image as it goes against conventions. We were asked to use a medium close up (above waste) photography for our front cover but I

thought this image worked better as it shows all of her clothes showing her style so you can see she represents the average student, also she is looking up at the

cover lines which I thought drew more attention to them.

I am pleased with the written

codes (cover line fonts) I

chose as it is a funky,

young font which

represents students,

also it is the type of

handwriting many

students have which

helps make it represent

them.

I am happy with my final chosen masthead as it is a silly, drawn one which will draw young students in more than a boring serious

plain masthead.

I am pleased with my colour scheme as it links in with

the masthead and is subtle and not

too bold.

A different font for the date as it is hard to read and doesn’t

stand out.

An issue number

about it and it is

essential for a magazine.

Different colour cover lines as they are slightly hard to read and may make

people lose interest if they can’t read them from a distance.

More cover lines as it gives little

information and needs more to peak

the audiences interest.
