Evaluation

We were set a preliminary task, where we had to create a front cover and contents page of a magazine for the school. My magazine was aimed boys in the 6th form.

For my Front cover I used the colour scheme of blue, Black and grey. I used this colour scheme because I thought it is more masculine and the colour scheme goes with my picture which I took for my front cover. The picture for my front cover is a medium close up of a student from the 6^th form and he is shown to be reading a textbook. I chose to take an image like this because it shows the change from GSCE to A levels and shows that more hard work is required when in 6th form. Lastly I chose the title for my magazine as 'ADVANCED'. I chose this name because this emphasises the change between GCSE to A level and shows the education is far more advanced.

For my contents page I have carried out the same colour theme and font of writing. I chose to put three pictures on my contents page because it represents the different type of lifestyles you can have in 6th and not just reflecting on the lifestyle of studying. I chose to use the picture of three boys sitting next to a computer socialising because this picture shows the facilities the 6th form boys have for work and also for research on any topic. I have taken a picture of a boy and girl from 6^th form sitting together doing their work because it shows there’s a unity between boys and girls and their not separated. For the last picture I chose to use the image of the 6^th building because this represents the home for Norbury Manor 6^th form students

For my coursework I would like to improve on better skills on taking photos because I think the picture makes the magazine stand out. Also for my coursework I would improve on using Photoshop and find out how to use new features so that I can make my coursework effective and creative.
