2. Research
• The strengths of my research where that I was given full control on what I
was able to research and this helps me get to know what I know more
effectively than if I was told what to research. This helped with my project
as I researched all that was needed to write my article to the best of my
abilities.
• The weakness of my research was how easily distracted I am, so at times, I
would not be doing research but instead watching things on YouTube. I
could’ve been more harsh on myself and made myself work harder and
push myself to get the research done faster. If I had done this I believe my
project would’ve come out better and had more information within my
article.
3. Planning
• The strengths of my planning was that I was able to decide to what I was
going to do and what days and the amount of time I would spend on a
specific part of the project. This helped me in my project because it let me
figure out what I was doing and the timings of how long I gave myself to
do it, this helped with the time management of the whole project.
• A weakness of my planning was I gave myself too long to do somethings
with the project and because I’m not motivated I didn’t start the next
thing until the plan said so. I could say that if I finish something on the
plan faster than expected that I have to start the next thing on the plan.
This would help me finish the project faster rather than just waiting time.
4. Time Management
• I completed my project ahead of time and had some time to spare when
looking at my plan, I don’t believe I managed my time well though as
when I finished something for the project, I did not instantly get on with
the next thing needed for the project, I just sat watching YouTube and
waited until I was back on time with my plan. I don’t believe my project
could’ve been improved if I was given any more time to complete it.
• If I had more time to do my project, I maybe would’ve spent more time on
the double spread as that is not as good as the writing or even the front
cover and is low in effort when in comparison to everything else done for
this project.
5. Technical QualitiesBoth have magazine
titles in red to draw
attention.
Has the artists on the cover and
in the centre to show
importance.
Shows news
from other
artists on the top
of the cover.
They are
giving
away free
posters as
mins isn’t.
6. Aesthetic Qualities
Although I like how the front cover for
my magazine came out, the double
spread isn’t good and is just basic with a
flat colour and a few pictures. Neither
of my designs were creative and I took
massive influence from magazines that
already exist. I like how Lil Peep and
XXXtentacion look together on the front
cover. I would improve the double
spread as that is the worst looking thing
from my magazine but I do not know
what I would do to improve it at this
moment in time.
A strength of my design is that it is easy
and simple to make meaning it did not
take any time to do and helped me get
on with the research and writing faster.
A weakness is that it does not look good
or eye catching.
Main focus of my
writing in the
middle of the
cover.
Has small headlines to show
there is more content within
the magazine.
7. Audience Appeal
I believe I have
appealed to my
target audience
because of the
front cover having
the two main
draws on the
cover and in the
middle, having
them as the main
attraction and
draw to the
magazine. The
article on
XXXtentacion and
Lil Peep will
appeal to my
audience as they
are my main focus,
their fans.
As these two artists are the
main theme and draw of the
magazine they are on the
front cover and the biggest
things on it.
