Evaluation Questions
How have you used technology?
I have used an SLR camera to take the pictures for my front cover. I have also used Photoshop to create the front cover of the magazine, i used this in order to put it all together for example i used it to get rid of the background of the photograph so that it didn't take away the attention from the main image, which is obviously the girl. I also used it to add text to the cover so that the audience would know what they were buying and what was going to be in it. Another i used it for was to add a background and to get pictures such as the bar code.
What conventions have you used and why?
I have used a Masthead, this is so the audience will know what magazine they are about to buy. I have used a skyline to give the reader information on what is inside the magazine, this is also why i included many feature stories. I also used a plug and made it a bright yellow so that it stood out and also so that people knew how much the magazine was. Another convention i used was the bar code and date, this was so the reader knows when it was published. I also added a footer and i included a chance to win an iPhone 6 in it, in the hope that that it persuades people to buy my magazine.
What would you change if you were to do this task again?
If i was to do this again i wouldn't use a splat for the plug i would use a more simple shape such as a circle or a square, this is because i think the splat looks slightly childish and this doesn't go with the theme of the rest of the magazine.
