I feel that my magazine went well because I completed the task on time and I had added everything that was need. My magazine meets all the specified points and I included all the functions a typical magazine would have on their front cover and in their contents page, such as columns in the contents. I believe that the magazine is suitable for a school drama club because it features types of articles that would be found in a drama magazine, but it also appeals to students between the ages 14-19.
However my magazine has altered from my mock up, like having to add coloured boxes to my cover lines so that they could be seen, which was something I had not anticipated. To avoid this I could have edited the image, either by cutting Rupert out and placing him on a plainer background or by fading the picture. I was also asked to change some of my design on my front cover, for example making my banner smaller and main image bigger. Plus my contents page looks bare, so I should have added more images or text to make it look better, and I should have added page numbers so that the readers could find the articles more easily.
In conclusion I think that my magazine is acceptable as it meets all the points it was supposed to and looks professional. I'm pleased with how the production went, but think that my magazine would be better if I had spent more time on it, especially in the editing area.

Liana. Well done for completing the task. Try and think what you could have done to prevent you from having to add coloured text boxes.
ReplyDeleteWhat else could you add to your contents page to make it easier for the reader to fing the articles in your publication.
You write that more time would have resulted in a better magazine, try and consider at which stage you need most time?
