Evaluation

Self Evaluation:

I Believe that my that my cover image and colour scheme was chosen correctly and made my mag stand out and look unique. I also believe that my idea of editing and cropping out the background of my cover star made my mag look creative and different which may look more interesting to a consumer. Furthermore, I believe that my contents page is structured correctly as it has enough amounts of images and content.

Peer:

"the colour scheme for your contents page clashes too much as there is a lot of red. not many cover lines make the cover page look empty. however, the quality of the picture is good. the contents page looks better and it's consistent as its still following the same colour scheme."

"The colour for the background of your magazine front cover clashes with the cover stars jumper. The photography is effective due to the use of direct mode of address. There could have been more conventions of a magazine front cover like more cover stories and your manipulation of the masthead could be improved. The colour scheme is consistent however the fonts you have used is not consistent and can be a bit hard to read."

"The colour scheme on the front cover matches the contents page which is more professional, there is good image quality in the front cover and the contents page, and the contents page is visually busy. However the font is not consistent between the front cover and the contents page and the cover lines for the front cover could be spaced out. Overall, it's a very good magazine."
My peer thought that my colour scheme was unappealing and clashing which made the mag seem unappealing. Also they believed that my cover didn't have enough amount of cover lines and the way I cropped the background of my cover star my the mag seem unprofessional.

Improvements:

• More Cover Lines
• Less clashing colours
• No Cropping
• Easy to read font
