2. Research
For my research I felt that it was to a good quality and had
a information that was valid for my work and the way my
work has ended up with the style of the images and the
way the layout of the page is. One of the strengths of
research was that I had researched the style of magazine I
would be producing, this is because I had included the
music magazines. For my final product this gave me some
ideas because it showed me the best way to lay out my
work for the music style of this production and how I will
do it in a professional standard. The way the header and
sub heading look within these magazines has changed my
mind for the best because their layouts are created great.
one weakness of my research will be that I could have spent more time with the image style rather than looking at text
describing them, I would have done this more because I have only seen a few designs for music magazines and I will
have added more time to my research too see more. In future I will do this because I feel that I could have improved my
work by doing this and understanding what makes a magazine so good rather than being pointless and unclear. This
would have improved my would and would have effected it on a scale, this is because I feel that I could have gone into
more detail with my design and production as well as the way my text is laid out. This could have made my work better
also because it would seem more professional and clean compared to how it is now.

3. Planning
One strength of my planning was that it gave me the
chance to look at what I wanted to produce and how
I could produce it, I did this by looking into more
magazines that I like and how they are laid out on
their professional scale. This opportunity also gave me
more time to look into what makes the magazine
layout so effect and pulsating for the reader. This
helped my production because it gave me some ideas
for the style of my front cover page design. I used
some of these ideas, such as the colour scheme and
the way the text is located. This made my work seem
more professional and clean.
One weakness of my planning is that I don’t spend enough time on it so I could have put more detail into it, I wish I had
more time for it so I could have added more production to it and how I will be producing my production. For my final
product It was almost like I didn’t know where anything was going at any point, this made it difficult in some places but I
figured it out and successfully completed it. If I was to improve my work I would have added more detail to what I want
to product and make more design for layout before the final product. In the future I will do this because it will make my
work better and more developed for the final design and product.

4. Time Management
I feel that I managed my time to a good standard, this is because I completed all
of my work before the deadline and complete every piece, although if I had
more time I would have improved some work that I have produced. The work
that I would improve is the double page spread produce and also the research I
have done. This is because I could have added more detail into my research, this
is because I wish I researched more visual research, this is because I wanted to
have a better view on what makes magazines good designs.
If I had more time I would make the overall quality of my work better. For
example I would have added more detail into the front cover with text and
image quality and also the text that is located on this cover. I would have also
put more detail into the double page spread. I would do this by making the
images better on the page, I would do this by adding some effects to them as
well as having the burn and lighten tool.
If I had more time I would have also added more time into some of my
PowerPoint documents, this is because I could have added more information in
more detail rather than having it like it is now with the missing context. In the
future I will put more time into certain documents such as the product and the
written side of the document.

5. Technical Qualities
These magazines that I am comparing a similar in certain places, such as the torn piece of paper across the page. I like that
on my own and the Q magazine include this because it makes the page stand out and the text within the paper also stands
out for the reader and draw your eye towards it. Another similarity is that the headers are bold and easy to see, this is
because of the bold colour red on the white background contracts perfectly making the image and the header very
outstanding and easily viewed from the reader. One difference is that the main image is in black and white whereas on my
own magazine I kept the image bright and bold. One more similarity of the images are that the quality of the images are
taken professionally with a very good camera to get the best and crisp image. Both of the images are editing to make them
looks and be more visually appealing rather than being unclear and unprofessional.

6. Aesthetic Qualities
In my opinion my work looked well and was to a good stand of work. I feel that it looks professionally produced. I like the
way the layout is produced. I feel that my work was creative in some aspect and worked very well for what I aimed for. I
aimed to produce a magazine that was neat and clean. I feel that I successfully did this and has improved my skills for the
next project that I will produce. One strength of my production is the image quality and location within the page. This is
because all of the images are clear and easily seen by the reader. I also feel that the colour scheme of the pages( cover,
double page spread) works very well and makes the magazine what it is. This is because it makes the image and text pop
out with a good text to image ratio. If I could improve my work I would have spent more time on the text, this is because I
want more detail to be included into them. In future I will do this to improve new work. One weakness of my work will be
the amount of text located on the double page spread, I feel that I could have put more detail and time into it. In future I
will do this for a better detailed and clear piece of work.

7. Audience Appeal
I feel that the header will be
very appealing to the
audience because it is bold
and easily viewable. It is the
first thing you see apart from
the image.
This sub-heading is very
outstanding and very easily
to see from the front cover
and works very well for a sub-
heading with the location
and sizing.
The main image itself works
very well because of the
image quality and how the
image is located for the final
product and design. This
quality will be appealing.
I have also included a
barcode with a issue number
so it can be registered and
viewable.
For this sub-heading I
thought to use well known
names to attract the
audience and there appeal.
I also want to talk more
about the image. The
image is appealing to the
audience and is very
appealing because of the
colour scheme and the
people within the work.
For this piece of work I
decided to produce a
different style so it could
stand out on the torn style
of paper at the bottom of
the front cover print.
