Preliminary Evaluation

Evaluation

Strengths :-

· The model has good clear light to his face/ body which allows for a clear image.

· The model looks happy about school and is confident with the body posture he holds.

· Layout of the front cover is very basic and not complex so it is easy to understand and read clearly.

· The target audience is easy  and clear to work out  due to some of the headlines and the model with what he is doing and how he looks and dressed.

· I only used three different colours no including the background and these colours linked with the schools colours so it worked, as it is very easy to link to the school.

· Fonts are clear and easy to read.

· Pictures used in the front cover and contents page link to the contents and the target audience clearly with no confusion.

· All generic conventions in a magazine are used either on the cover or the contents page.

· Mast head is clearly stated at the top of the magazine in a big bold font to show it is the mast head.

· Headlines and articles are organised down one side of the cover to advertise them clearly

· Some headlines standout more than others to draw certain people in and to show importance of them.

Weaknesses:-

· Model has headphones in which doesn't imply a proper student

· Some fonts are smaller and thinner than others so ca n be less clear

· Contents page mast head merges in with the background so isn't the best choice of colours to choose.
