What went well?
I did well at the photography, arranging the magazine
features on the front cover and research.I had taken this image using a Canon
600D.The photograph came out clear and I was pleased with how the photograph
came out. As part of my plan for the
front cover I wanted to add an anchorage. An anchorage adds meaning. E.g. an
image that relates to the texts. The text for my anchorage was “ Are you
dressed for the job”
What I did well at
- Researching
I did some research on what college magazines contain in
their contents page and what they have on the front cover. As any other college
magazine, they always have a photograph of the student as the front cover – the
student is taken from a medium shot (from the waist up), the student looking
towards the audience, smiling to give a warm feeling and appeal the audience.
If the model isn’t looking to the camera /audience then there will normally be
an anchorage to relate to the models actions.
What went well:
Arranging the magazine features
I learnt to name and analyse magazine features, especially
the main features included. In my magazine I included, an anchorage, barcode
and teasers. I arranged the page so that the teasers are on the right hand side
and the anchorage is on the left hand side near the image. I only had three
sections on my front cover because I didn’t want to make the front over crowed
with text. I had made the heading large so that it was easy for viewers for
read and make the magazine stand out. I was able to use the space provided, I
filled up the pages by adding large images, large text and giving the
background a colour. I particular found that the contents page went well as the
contents page was presentable. It has all the contents page requirements:
subheadings, images and a bold title.
What do I need to
improve on?
Completing the task I was able to recognise my weakness
through the task. What I need to improve on the most is the placement of
adverts. On the contents page, I was confused of where to place the advert – I
found this a difficulty as I didn’t want the advert to overlapping anything.
For me to avoid me overlapping anything I placed the advert in the middle of
the page where there was gap, where it was easier to notice.
Key Points of
development.
1. It is
important to have a target audience for your magazine as that it’s relevant to
the audience. E.g. if you do a magazine targeted to women, you would do
articles or pages about fashion (this is something that women like)
2. It’s also
required to do research on what appeals the audience; this makes it easier on
how to grab the audience’s attention. It can be anything from freebies to
competition that people may take part in
