Evaluation

What went well?

Personally I think that the photography was my favourite part and the pictures came out pretty good. I think I have gained good knowledge on how to make photos appear good since the quality wasn’t as good however I think I took good photos. I think the image manipulation went well since the pictures look brighter and aligned nicely. Also I think that the contents page layout was good since it was neat and organised. I think that the text was the best part since a lot of time went into it and it was very well done. I think that the journalism was good and I used a lot of persuasive text to bring the reader in. I think the layout in InDesign was better done, the text was aligned and it looked more like a college magazine.

Improvements

To improve my magazine I would use better colours since people felt that the colour scheme clashed. Also I would add more pictures since there wasn't enough and this made the magazine less attractive. Also I would add a variety of images since this would make my magazine look better. Also I would use a better font for the text since it wasn't very appealing and a better font would make it look less simple. Also to improve my magazine further I could add more teaser/cover lines to make the magazine look full and interesting.

Development

Three key points for developing my music magazine I would use colours the fit the theme and stick to a strict colour scheme therefore it would make my music magazine look realistic and better. Another key point for developing my magazine I would use a lot more teasers since the magazine looked quite simple, also most people who read my magazine felt that it could have had more information. The last development I would make to my music magazine would be a wider range of fonts since the readers felt that the magazine looked quite simple and the fonts used didn't bring much attention to the music magazine.
