Evaluation
Process
With my college magazine I wanted to achieve a professional looking magazine aimed towards students who attend Leyton Sixth Form College. We was instructed to use programmes such as Photoshop and Indesign.
Self and Peer Evaluation
Firstly, this is my finished product. I think that the photography went well
because it is a Medium close up of the model with her positioning manipulated to look good with the mast head. I decided not to edit the image because it is a magazine about school and isn't meant to be compared to magazines like OK! and Closer. I like the page layout because it goes around her body rather than covering her which is what I was aiming for. I could've added more cover lines but my teacher told me it wasn't mandatory to have lots.
My contents page I designed with Adobe Indesign with some success. I feel like when you look a the front cover and contents page they look like they could be from the same magazine is good. But I still want to add some more pictures as Joshua said it would break up the information and make it easier to read and interpret.

My friend Fatma told me that she liked my colour scheme, especially the light blue which links in with the blue on my cover stars lanyard. Also she liked the font I used to highlight 'Soriah's' name, because it draws your eyes towards it. Joshua said 'the bricks cause the main image to stand out more prudently as it contrasts with your cover model,' which makes you look at her.
Secondly, to improve my front cover further to add a flash/puff to advertise the competition I have inside. Similarly I want to make my front cover look as if it was made in a professional magazine-making environment, in other words make everything look more clean and pleasant to look at. I could've done this by using a better editing software or learn how to use photoshop more accurately.

Development
Thirdly, a way I could develop my main task is to take a lot more images, for instance when I was photographing for the front cover, I only took between 4 /5 images, in an ideal world i would've taken between 10/ 12 photos so that I had options and could pick the best one when I come to editing.
Similarly, I would like to add a different colour so that my magazine resembles professional magazines that follow a 3-colour scheme. I think that a khaki green to match her jacket would go considerably well.
Lastly, I think that a plain background could've also looked good. I could've experimented with this when taking my photos for the front cover.

This is a well written and reflective evaluation Eleanor, and you draw on audience feedback as well as your own thoughts, which is a good approach. You use media language well and give useful targets for your next task. Vanessa
