EVALUATION

2. HOW DOES YOUR MAGAZINE
REPRESENT PARTICULAR SOCIAL
GROUPS?My target audience for this magazine were students aged
from 16 to 24 that attended City College Norwich.
I have represented this by using key phrases that apply to
the audience such as subject choices and college updates
as it is
something that the target audience all have in common
and would therefore like to seek information upon it.
I also took the background image on site of the college
so it relates closely to work audience I’m aiming for
because it shows relatability towards the college
students.

3. WHAT ASPECTS OF YOUR WORK
ARE PLEASED WITH AND WHY?
I am most pleased with my front cover because I
think it all ties in well with both the image and
text, the creative background allows for a specific
colour scheme and I noticed the colours that
popped out at me the most were the colours yellow
and purple
As a result, I chose these colours as the colour
scheme for the magazine and contents page.

4. CONT.
For the background image I planned with my model
how I wanted her to position herself because I
planned for her to be looking at an area that text
would appear on the front cover, we tried other
positions but this one seemed to work best which I
was happy with anyways.
This then made my magazine tie in well as both text
and image blends in together rather than it just
looking as if it is text upon an image- quite an

5. WHAT ASPECTS OF YOUR WORK
CAN BE IMPROVED ON AND WHY?
My least favourite part of work is my contents page, this is
because I don’t think it compares to the professionalism
of the font cover, the contents page looks much less
professional and slightly more childish. I think this is
because of both the text positioning and the background
colour.
The background colour links to the front cover (with the
puff sticker) however I feel that the lack of text makes the
page look empty and bland.

6. CONT.
When planning my contents page I was thinking of
having the text going diagonal (as it is) yet I also
wanted to see if the contents page would look better
with the text just slightly smaller and going straight
down.
Looking back on my work I do feel that the second
option could have been the better option however I
didn’t have enough time to change my look of my
contents page so I just kept it how it is.
From this I have understood that I need to keep better
timings in order to try out different themes and looks in
order to see which one looks better and is more
beneficial for my magazine design.
