The document summarizes design choices made for a magazine evaluation. The masthead was placed at the top behind the main image to give a magazine-like feel. Straplines were placed orderly on the left side for formality. A title was added in front of the main image to provide context. Empty space at the top was filled with a gradient puff to differ from typical bright colors since this was a hip hop magazine. A close-up image was used behind most straplines but in front of the masthead to represent a character and Maslow's theory of aspiration.

1. Evaluation-
How have I used current
conventions?

2. Here I decided to stick with the normal convention
of having there masthead at the top of the page
behind the main image. I have done this because it
gives the product a more magazine like feature,
where as if I put it anywhere else it may be miss
interpreted for a poster.
I decided to place my straplines in an orderly
fashion upon the left hand side as it looks lot
more formal. After asking other students I
decided to change the font of the strap lines as
it gives each story its own original look.
In front of the main image I added a title
that gives the image a reason I put the
story of the photo in a text box as after I
looked at some previous a level work that
seemed to be the common convention.

3. After a couple of drafts I noticed there was
empty space at the top of there page. I
looked at previous work i did in GCSE work
and realised I used a puff. Due to this being
a hip hop magazine I didn’t want it a bright
colour like normal so I decided to Add a
gradient to give it a different look than
normal.
The image I used is a standard close up
image that is behind most of my
straplines but in front of the masthead. I
chose a powerful image that would easily
represent my character and implement
one of Maslow's theory's of aspiration.
