Ben Coombs completed three assignments on photography techniques for recreating magazine covers. For the first assignment on analyzing magazine covers, Ben received merit grades for comparing men's and women's magazines and annotating a magazine cover. The second assignment required taking a photograph for a magazine cover, for which Ben again received a merit grade. His recreation of a magazine cover also received merit. For the final evaluation assignment, Ben's grade of merit indicated his step-by-step explanation and evaluation could be improved by providing more visual evidence and analysis of his strengths and weaknesses. The assessor and Ben agreed on an action plan for Ben to further explain the tools and techniques used.

Action Plan (to improve grade):
A good first recreation Ben, your cover looks like the original. You could improve your grade by
improving your evaluation and step by step. You have mentioned which tools you have used and you
have shown some pictures of the process. However more analysis of your strengths and weaknesses
is needed along with visual evidence of which tools you used and HOW you used them – this now
added.
