EVALUATION

3. RESEARCH
• FOR RESEARCH WE EXAMINED 3 MAGAZINES RELATED TO THE
SUBJECT OF OUR OWN MAGAZINE.
• THE STRENGTHS OF DOING RESEARCH IS YOU ARE ABLE TO
UNDERSTAND YOUR AUDIENCE A BIT BETTER AND WHAT THEY
MIGHT WANT TO SEE IN THE MAGAZINE. SUCH AS WHAT
FONTS THEY LIKE AND WHAT FILMS THEY WANT MENTIONING.
• BUT THERE ARE WEAKNESSES TO RESEARCH. IT CAN TAKE TIME
TO DO WHILST YOU COULD BE DOING THE ACTUAL PRODUCT.
THE RIGHT MAGAZINES COULD BE HARD TO FIND IF THE
GENRE OF MAGAZINE YOU ARE DOING IS RARELY DONE.

4. PLANNINGS
• WITH PLANNING YOU CAN THINK ABOUT HOW YOUR PRODUCT WILL
LOOK AND WHAT IT WILL TALK ABOUT. FOR PLANNING I MADE A
MIND MAP, MOOD BOARD AND STYLE SHEET TO GIVE MYSELF IDEAS
FOR WHAT I SHOULD INCLUDE AND THEY REALLY HELPED ME WITH
THAT. I EVEN PUT TOGETHER A COLLECTION OF IMAGES TO GIVE AN
IDEA OF WHAT MY FRONT COVER WOULD LOOK LIKE.
• THE STRENGTHS OF PLANNING ARE IT CAN HELP YOU PLAN WHAT
YOUR PRODUCT WILL LOOK LIKE, WHAT TOPICS IT WILL DISCUSS,
HOW MANY PAGES THERE MIGHT BE AND WHAT FONTS TO USE.
• BUT IT CAN ALL TAKE A LOT OF TIME TO DO AND IT CAN BE HARD TO
COME UP WITH THESE IDEAS AND ONCE YOU’VE PLANNED IT YOU
CAN’T GO BACK AND CHANGE ANYTHING.

5. TIME MANAGEMENT
• I WAS ABLE TO MANAGE MY TIME WELL. I
HANDED ALL MY WORK IN ON TIME. IF I HAD
MORE TIME I WOULD PROBABLY INCLUDE
ANOTHER SUPERHERO BASED MOVIE THAT IS
COMING OUT THIS YEAR AND ADDED MORE
DESCRIPTION AND INFORMATION TO THE
MOVIES I LISTED. BUT OVERALL I DIDN’T
THINK THAT MY PRODUCT WAS EFFECTED BY
LIMITED TIME.

6. TECHNICAL QUALITIES
The similarities between
these covers are:
• They both have multiple
characters.
• Both have Captain Marvel
on them. gay
The differences are:
• One only focuses on one
film, the other features
multiple films being
released this year
• One has other
advertisements on it, the
other does not.

7. AESTHETIC QUALITIES
What I like:
• The way it
connects with
the
background
• All the
characters
featured on it
come
together
nicely.
What I don’t like:
• The way the
pictures are cut
off to a straight
line at the
bottom. I wish I
could’ve made
them fade into
the background
better.

8. AUDIENCE APPEAL
I think I have
appealed to my
target audience in
some ways rather
than others.
I may have
forgotten to
include things
that some things
that will appeal
to certain
psychographics.
But I think I
approached the
right class of
people.

9. PEER
FEEDBACK

10. FEEDBACK 1: SAMUEL
• WHAT DID YOU LIKE ABOUT THE PRODUCT?
• I THINK THE FRONT COVER IS VIBRANT AND AESTHETICALLY PLEASING TO THE
EYE, IT REALLY LOOKS LIKE AN ACTUAL MAGAZINE COVER RELEASED BY A
REPARABLE COMPANY.
• FURTHERMORE THE FACTS GIVEN ABOUT MANY OF THE MOVIES ARE
INTERESTING AND IT REALLY SHOWS THAT YOU’VE DONE YOUR RESEARCH AND
YOU KNOW WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT; YOU HAVE SHOWN AN INTEREST.
• WHAT IMPROVEMENTS COULD HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE
PRODUCT?
• HOWEVER MINOR SPELLING MISTAKES AND EDITING MISHAPS
THROUGHOUT YOUR MAGAZINE, LOWER THE OVERALL QUALITY OF YOUR
MAGAZINE. IT SHOWS OFF AN AIR OF LAZINESS AND OR LACK OF EDITING
PROWESS. THESE ISSUES COULD BE EASILY RESOLVED IN A MERE MATTER
OF MINUTES, BUT THE FACT THAT YOU HAVEN’T FIXED THESE ISSUES
GIVES ME THE IMPRESSION THAT THIS PROJECT WAS RUSHED AND OR YOU
DIDN’T PERCEPTIVELY LOOK OVER YOUR WORK ONCE IT WAS DONE; A

11. FEEDBACK 2: BEN LAWRENSON
• WHAT DID YOU LIKE ABOUT THE PRODUCT?
I LIKE THAT ON THE FRONT COVER, HE HAS USED CONVENTIONS TO DRAW THE READER IN. WORDS SUCH AS ‘SALE’
AND ‘NEW’ MAKES THE READER WANT TO LOOK AT IT AND SEE WHAT IT IS ABOUT. HE HAS ALSO USED MANY
IMAGES FROM NEW AND POPULAR MOVIES, THIS CAN FORESHADOW WHAT THE MAGAZINE WILL BE ABOUT. WITH
THESE IMAGES IT ALSO MAKES IT EASY TO SPOT/ RECOGNISE FOR THE READER. FOR THE DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD, I
LIKE THAT HE HAS LAYERED IT OUT SO THAT IT IS BOTH EASY TO SEE AND READ.
• WHAT IMPROVEMENTS COULD HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE PRODUCT?
UNFORTUNATELY, HE HAS MADE A FEW MISTAKES AND LITTLE ERRORS THAT COULD BE EASILY IMPROVED ON. FOR
STARTED ON THE FRONT COVER, THE IMAGES AS THE TOP HAS A LINE WHERE THE IMAGE ENDS. THESE IMAGES
SHOULD HAVE BEEN USED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE SO THAT IT IMPROVES TO LOOK OF THE PRODUCT. AS HE
HAS ADDED THE BUZZ WORD ‘SALE’ HE SHOULD HAVE MADE IT BIGGER TO INCREASE INTEREST AND TO DRAW
MORE ATTENTION TO IT. PERSONALLY I DO NOT THINK THAT THE COLOURS HE HAS USED WORKS WITH THE
BACKGROUND. HE HAS USED NEON COLOURS ON A DARK BACKGROUND WHICH MAKES IT LOOK FAKE AND NON
PROFESSIONAL. HE HAS ALSO USED MINIMAL CONVENTIONS AS HE HASN’T ADDED ANY ANYTHING THAT MIGHT
WANT TO MAKE THE READER BUY IT. FOR THE DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD HE HAS MADE A LOT OF SPELLING MISTAKES
WHICH HE COULD HAVE FIXED. THE FACT THAT HE HASN’T FIXED THEM SHOWS THAT HE EITHER DIDN’T CHECK
BACK THROUGH HE WORK WHICH IS A VERY IMPORTANT PROCESS TO DO WHEN MAKING A PROJECT, OR THAT HE
HASN’T TAKEN PRIDE IN HIS WORK AND HAS RUSHED IT. WHEN IT COMES TO TYPICAL MAGAZINES THEY NORMALLY
HAVE A BALANCE BETWEEN IMAGES AND WRITING, BUT THIS MAGAZINE ONLY SHOWS A FEW IMAGES AND A LOT OF
WRITING. THIS GIVES THE FEELING THAT IT IS A BOOK INSTEAD OF A MAGAZINE. HE HAS ALSO ADDED THE TITLE ON

12. FEEDBACK 3: DANNY
• WHAT DID YOU LIKE ABOUT THE PRODUCT?
• I LIKED THE USE OF COLOURS IN THE FRONT COVER. THERE IS A
LOT OF IMAGES WHICH MAKES IT MORE APPEALING. I LIKED THE
DIFFERENT USE SUPERHERO MOVIES THAT YOU HAVE USED.
THERE IS LARGE VARIETY OF COLOURS THAT HAVE BEEN USED.
• WHAT IMPROVEMENTS COULD HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE
PRODUCT?
• I WOULD MAKE THE FONTS MORE APPEALING AND THE TEXT
MORE INTERESTING. THE FRONT COVER NEEDS MORE TEXT
BECAUSE IT ONLY HAS THE TITLE, IMAGES AND THE BAR CODE. I
WOULD PUT MORE ADVERTISEMENTS ON THE FRONT COVER

13. PEER FEEDBACK SUMMARY
• WHAT DO YOU AGREE WITH FROM YOUR PEER FEEDBACK?
• THAT THE IMAGES LOOK FAKE WITH THE BACKGROUND.
• I BELIEVE THAT THE FACTS I HAVE PUT ABOUT THE FILMS ARE
INTERESTING.
• IT DOES SHOW I HAVE DONE RESEARCH
• WHAT DO YOU DISAGREE WITH FROM YOUR PEER FEEDBACK?
• I DISAGREE THAT THE BACKGROUND IS DARK.
• THE COVER DOES NOT NEED MORE TEXT. IF IT DID HAVE ANYMORE IT
WOULDN’T LOOK AS GOOD AS IT DOES.
• THE FRONT COVER DOES NOT NEED MORE ADS ON IT.

14. PEER FEEDBACK SUMMARY
I would make the images look less
fake with the background so it would
look nicer and I would pick a
different font so it looks more
interesting and pleasant to read.
