2. Production Process Evaluation

3. Research
• First I researched 3 already existing products, this helped me to see what
already existed, possibly giving me ideas that I could use in my own
product. It also helped me to know what exists so I won’t accidentally
plagiarise it, and get myself into trouble.
• I looked at what they all had in common, and looked at why they are
needed.
• This helped me to know what I needed to include in my product.
• I also researched existing photography articles to know how I need to style
it, and also what to include

4. Planning
• I started off by creating a mood board containing images and themes from
my chosen genre.
• I decided on what fonts, and what colour scheme I was going to use.
• I planned what photos I was going to use, and where I was going to place
them.
• On the layout for my front cover I planned where I was going to put
headings and subheadings, and where all the text was going to go

5. Time Management
• I created a day to day schedule, on what I was going to do and work on,
this helped me stick to a deadline and to keep myself organised.
• Even though I created a plan of when I was going to do things, not
everything went exactly to plan. For example I ended up spending too
much time on certain things, meaning I got behind on my work; however I
managed to sort myself out and meet the deadlines.

6. Technical Qualities
Both my product and the existing product both contain vibrant colours, the use of
lighting is very prominent in both products.
On the double page spreads, both mine and the existing product used black as the
background colour, and white for the font colour.
Another similarity is that both mine and the existing
double page spread use another colour on the
subheadings to highlight them and make them stand out.
Both double page spreads have a large photo, and a few
smaller ones surrounding the text.

7. Aesthetic Qualities
The double page spread links back to the front
cover using the title ‘Master Of Light’. This is the
only link between the two, this shows that
everything else given on the front cover must link
back to other pages throughout the magazine.
There is a running colour scheme over the two
pages; black, white, red, and yellow. This shows
consistency throughout the product.

8. Audience Appeal
I used basic primary colours throughout my
product to appeal to the targeted male and
female audience.
The simplicity of the cover draws in the audience
to know more about it.
I used a spring photo to also grab the audiences
attention, this is also done by using a young girl
on the cover; this may entice the audience by
reminding them of either themselves, in their
youth, or of someone close to them.

9. Peer
Feedback

10. Feedback 1
• What did you like about the product?
– The image on the front cover was a high quality, which made the page
effective and professional. The variety of fonts used worked well with
the cover and the style of the cover worked to reflect the genre.
– The double page spread used the colours of the images so using the
mise-en-scene is really effective. The font choice works nicely and the
information is very well written.
• What improvements could have been made to the product?
– The cover could have done with some final touches on the editing of
the ‘Image’ text as the outline could be smoother.
– The conventions of the selling line and issue number are usually in
capitals
– The text in the plug could have used the space more effectively.

11. Feedback 2
• What did you like about the product?

all worked together.

colours in the photograph.

the product?
– The page numbers are too big.

everything fit together. I also like how you have used all
the common conventions for the magazine front cover and
double page spread.

the product?

page spread is, the fonts and make everything in line.

my product.

14. Peer Feedback Summary
I would use the ruler tool more effectively to ensure that everything is in line and
organised on my double page spread. I would also make my page numbers are
smaller.
On the front cover I would make my ‘image’ text smoother and the edges cleaner.
I would also use the small more effectively in the plug, and follow the conventions of
having the issue number and selling line in capital letters.
