This document contains a student's evaluation of their FMP project which included a magazine front cover and double page spread about Pokémon. In their research, planning, and time management sections, the student reflects that their work went well overall but they could have improved aspects like backgrounds and layout. Their peer feedback suggested improvements like resizing overlapping images and using different text colors. The student agrees with the feedback and wants to incorporate the suggestions to progress further in future projects.

3. Research
• I think overall my research went pretty well because I knew what I was doing straight away.
Therefore it was easy for me to choose the features that are going to be on the front cover
and on the double page spread. I looked at Pokémon magazines for a start because that’s the
topic I wanted to do my magazine on and chose three out of many and described why they
are good. This then inspired me to make something similar to those front covers and it went
pretty well in the end.
• Because of Pokémon Go releasing the second generation of Pokémon recently, I decided to
talk about that and the TV series as well as the recent Pokémon Nintendo game Sun and
Moon. They were the main subjects I wanted to talk about and write about on the double
page spread.
• Overall the research helped me because it gave me a basis to start from.
• There wasn’t any weaknesses with my research because I knew what I was doing right from
the start. And there isn’t anything to improve on that I could think about.

4. Planning
• I think overall my planning went well. I chose 3 potential ideas and started to expand on
them all. I then decided which one was the final idea and was going to do my magazine on.
The mind mapping helped me decide which idea to go for in the end.
• When planning the front cover and double page spread I had to decide (on Photoshop) which
colours I was going to have in the background as the colours are important for the topic I’m
doing my magazine on. In the end I chose the colours from the logo and went on from there.
• The weaknesses of my planning was the decisions on where to put things on the front cover
and the double page. Also deciding on the colours was difficult as my topic surrounds all the
colours.
• If I was to improve my work it would be to maybe look at some background images instead of
using colours and maybe have a background on my front cover.
• This might have a good effect on my product.

5. Time Management
• I think I managed my time well. I finished all the PowerPoints and tasks on time and in-time
for all the deadlines. I completed everything on-time which was good, despite having a lot of
work to do. However if I had extra time I could maybe have done an extra double page to
gain extra marks because then there’s more to talk about and more to show about on my
topic.
• I would have looked at some background mages instead of Having colours in the background
if I had more time. However there isn’t anything else I would do if I had extra time other than
doing an extra double page spread or checking for mistakes.

6. Technical Qualities
The similarities on both magazine front covers are that they both have the logo, similar colours, and a similar
concept. The colours are similar because colours used from the logo are used as a background. They both
include Pokémon and information about games. Both include the names of the games / TV shows.
The differences however are quite simple, the images are positioned differently as well as the text. Basically
the positioning on both front covers are different. The second front cover doesn't have a lot on it however
my own made front cover has every part covered whether it’s a picture or text.

7. Technical Qualities
Both double page spreads are different and simialr in their own way. My own double page is on the left and
the other from another magazine is on the right. The main differences between them both are that the
backgrounds are different and the colours schemes are different. There’s a similar amount of images in both
double page spreads and both have similar layouts with lots of text and pictures. The positioning of both
spreads are a bit different because on the second half of the double page just has a picture / poster of a
Pokemon movie.

8. Aesthetic Qualities
• Overall, I think that my work looks pretty good because
it looks like a proper magazine with all the aspects
included that are needed. I made it creative by making
my background from scratch by getting each individual
picture for the outline and getting rid of their
backgrounds to make them transparent. I did that so I
could choose any colour I wanted for my outline colour.
• The parts that I like about my product is the outline on
the front cover and the colours that I’ve chosen for both
the front cover and the double page. The colour scheme
as well is good for a topic that surrounds all colours
known.
• The strengths of my product are the colour schemes
used and I think that the colours from the logo help
make the magazine front cover and double page spread
look good. Another strength would be the pictures
because they are all decent and fit well with the colour
scheme.
• Weaknesses could be the background colours and I
maybe could include a proper background image to
make it look better, however I couldn’t find a decent
enough picture for the main background.

9. Audience Appeal
• I think I appealed to my target audience because I kept my magazine front cover and double
page available for ages above 7 able to view and look at. I included decent enough colour
schemes and pictures so people of a young age can understand what it all means. I set my
target audience age range to be above 7 because that’s the age certificate of Pokémon TV
shows and for the games so I put my magazine as the exact same so there’s no difference with
my magazine compared to the games and TV series.
• The specific parts of my magazine that would appeal to my target audience would be mainly
the pictures that I’ve used because then people know what the text is talking about.
• My magazine front cover and double page would be suitable and appeal to the psychographic
Belonger because it covers all platforms. Belonger is a psychographic that involves family and
time to have fun and the topic that my magazine’s about involves having fun and being able to
involve family members.
• And my magazine will suit majority of the social status’ because the topic I’m doing it on is
popular and most people know what it is.

10. Peer
Feedback

11. Feedback 1
• What did you like about the product?
– I like the outline / border line. I like the content it
is really good. I like the layout of it all.
• What improvements could have been made to
the product?
– Some of the images overlap, some parts overlap
important parts of the magazine.

12. Feedback 2
• What did you like about the product?
– I like it and like the border on the outside. The pictures are good and fill up the
gaps. There’s a lot of text which is good for a double page in a magazine.
• What improvements could have been made to
the product?
– Put paragraph of text in columns.

13. Feedback 3
• What did you like about the product?
– The product is very visually appealing to the audience, from a first
glance you know what it is about and this is good as it will stand out to
the reader. It fits the Pokémon brand very well. On the double page
spread you have a good article that will get the audience interested
and hook them into the other pieces. The titles help to illustrate what
is going on.
• What improvements could have been made to the product?
• On the double page spread the image could be downsized so that it
does not come over the border. At the bottom of the front cover,
the text could be a different colour in order to stand out.

14. Peer Feedback Summary
• What do you agree with from your peer
feedback?
– Yes, I do agree with the feedback I’ve been given. The improvements that need to made are
reasonable and need to be changed to make the readers / viewers happy.
• What do you disagree with from your peer
feedback?
– I don’t disagree with any of the feedback.

15. Peer Feedback Summary
From the improvements that were mentioned in the feedback, I would change
everything that was asked by the people who gave feedback and see if it made a
difference to my front cover or / and my double page spread. Because I want to
improve the mistakes I have made, getting some improvement comments helps me
progress further when making other stuff for other projects.
