3. Research
Strength of research is that I can find existing product that relate to the
subject. I looked at different film magazines for teenagers. The products had a
similar colour scheme, layouts, fonts and graphics. I looked at front covers
and also the odd article inside. I learned about what type of information goes
on the front cover.
For primary research I looked at the magazines they have in the library. It
helped to physically see what one looked like.
I could have done a survey about how much people are willing to pay for a
magazine, what images or what text would get them to buy it. I could have
shown them specific fonts to look at. Film magazines like Empire have a good
reputation and is more in depth than a cheaper magazine.

4. Planning
• I did a lot of planning about what the magazine is going to look. The mind
map looked at target audience, genre and layout.
• I did style sheets which looked at fonts, colour schemes, size of text and
types of images.
• I also looked at all the different elements of a front cover.
• I could have done more planning on colour schemes and could have asked
for feedback on which colour schemes people preferred

5. Time Management
The planning and research time went well. I found good quality images with a high
resolution this did not take a long time. When I looked at existing products this took a bit
more time because I had to go to the library and look at film magazines. I looked at a
handful of fonts for my style sheets but when I was making the actual magazine I went
through a medium range of fonts. It took longer to find the font I wanted. I could have
looked at more fonts on my style sheet and tested them out in Photoshop because they
look slightly different when in Photoshop.
I drafted the content text in Microsoft so that I could use spell check and also so that I had a
back up in case Photoshop corrupted. After drafting it I put it into Photoshop and arranged
it to fit in the guidelines. This took quite a long time because I had to resize it and format it.
The main heading for the magazine, Justice League took a long time because I created
several layers and effects to get the shiny effect. I needed to test it out a lot and this took
time because it had to look right with the other elements on the cover.
I also spent a long time getting the colour scheme right and to make it all look professional.
For example, the special offer shield shape needed the colours adjusting, the size and the
placement.
If I had more time I would have added more text about what is in the magazine I would of
of got a simpler image so that I could of got more text on there.

6. Technical Qualities

7. Aesthetic QualitiesThe tile: I made
the tile bold,
white so that it
is easy to read
and to see what
the page is
about.
Text: white text
on a grey
background
with red
rectangles make
the text and the
page stand out
to the audience.
Photo: placed in a place were
its easy to see and enlarged
enough that you can see
Shape: red rectangles to add detail and
colour to the background and to the hole
page.

8. Audience Appeal
The gold text for the title will appeal
to the target audience because the
gold makes the title stand out so
that the audience knows what the
image on the front of the magazine
is referencing.
The main image will appeal to the
target audience. I have done this by
making the image big and centered
to the cover also over lapping the
master header which will attract my
audiences attention.
The master header is large, back and
with a red glow. The reason is that
the audience will know what the
magazine is called. It also goes well
with the background of the whole
cover.

9. Peer
Feedback

10. Feedback 1
• What did you like about the product?
– I liked that it has a shade of red all the way thought the cover
and the double page, it keeps it all together and there isn't to
much of the red though out both of them. I also liked the gold
text of the “justice league” on the front cover it makes it stand
out well and makes it eye catching.
• What improvements could have been made to the
product?
– The offer on the cover I think could have been done in a
different way and not used a shield and I would of changed the
colour of the text of the offer as well. The black shape behind
the tile could be different in a way that so that its not a block of
black in front of the image and behind the title.

11. Feedback 2
• What did you like about the product?
– I like that it has the main cast of the film on the
cover I and the name of the film because it tells
me what the film is and what the characters look
like.
• What improvements could have been made to
the product?
– Have the title text different like have so that it’s a
bit more clear to read, as such tacking the glow
off.

12. Feedback 3
• What did you like about the product?
– The contrast on the double page is good because
the red goes well with the grey and the images as
well contrast well with the red and grey.
• What improvements could have been made to
the product?
– The title and text are good but it doesn't over
power the image

13. Peer Feedback Summary
• What do you agree with from your peer
feedback?
I agree that the contrast of colours on the double
page go well and the font cover is eye changing this
is good because it will get the audience to buy the
product
• What do you disagree with from your peer
feedback?
I disagree that the text colour of the offer doesn't
need to change

14. Peer Feedback Summary
I would change the text style on the front cover so
that It stands out instead of the image because two
of the feed back said that the text on the front cover
doesn’t stand out enough.
I would change the justice league to make it stand
out more so that the audience can see what it says. I
will do this because one person said it didn't stand
out well enough with the black background. When I
looked at it I agreed so I will change it.
