School Magazine Evaluation

My magazine cover follows the conventions of a real magazine cover. However  I may have challenged the fact  that I have gone for a fairly simple design by only including a main cover line rather also including lots of  cover lines,I did this because I did not want to overcrowd  my photograph.



 Significantly,I have represented secondary school students aged 11-18 years old and teachers,this is mainly due to my photographs which depict this.My product also represents secondary schools students because I used dynamic funky font and in my contents have advertised and listed article topic that would be of interest to them.In addition,my product represents  ethnic minority social group since three black girls are featured on my front cover.On the contrary,my contents represents people of an array of different ethnicity's,there are photographs featured that show this. 
IPC media produces over 85 iconic media brands.There printing brands reach 2/3 of UK women and over 44% of UK men.This is almost 27million adults,with their on line brands collect 20million users every month.
Above all,I feel that IPC to distribute my  media product because it publishes a wide range of genres of magazine and also because it is widely distributed  in the UK which means that my magazine would reach a wide range of people increasing its audience.


My audience would be secondary school children  ranging from 11-19.I believe I have attracted my audience by including  pictures of  students  and in my contents page I also included topics that would generally interest people of this age.There is also a use of a bold colour theme that would stand out and attract my audience.
The price of the magazine is also very cheap enabling my audience to buy the magazine.


I learnt how to edit photographs on Adobe photo shop,for example I have learnt how to remove spots by using the spot plaster tool,I have learn how to use the clone tool in order to mask a flaw from the photograph,I learnt how to increase the vibrancy and photograph quality and crop images.I also learnt how to upload images to blogger.Furthermore,I also learnt how to add special effects to text  for example:shadow and the line thickness of the font.


Things to improve for my music magazine are to manage my time more carefully so that I can edit my pictures more precisely in order to make sure that the quality of my photographs is the best that it can be.I would also ensure that my contents page  would  also be properly aligned.I will also make sure to include more screen shots  in order  to  show more progression and development and ideas in my work.I will also do more sketches in order to make my research more succinct.Most importantly I will make sure that my music magazine research is more focused and that my ideas are coherent and are focused,and I will make sure that I carry my initial idea through so that I avoid wasting time.
