Draft Evaluation

Teachers Comments

Name: Samrita
Title: Replay

Cover: Idea is good. Layout is taking shape. Title should be in block capitals rather than the effect you have added. Images needed improving. They are quite flat. Also image is fuzzy. The whole tone of your mag is v. serious

Contents: Very sparse. Needs a more effective layout. Look at examples from last yr. and exam board for help. Image is flat - needs to be more prominent. I like the R logo.

Double Page spread: Nice layout. Head is cut off on image. Page Numbers are massive throughout - why? Interview is too short. Columns needs adjusting - too near the middle of page.

Research and Planning level: 4
Practical Draft Level: 2

From my drafts I have realised that I will need to finally take my final shots. For this I really want to use a girl because I don't think that the having a boy on the cover will draw as much attention. I will stick to the white and black colour scheme but I may change the red to another colour e.g. pink, blue etc. My cover looks rather fake and doesn't look like a magazine. I will need to make it more simplistic and have a bigger image on the front which lifts off the page more. I will edit the pictures so my model looks flawless so it makes the model look more professional. My contents page looks quite tacky and nom professional at all. I think that the I will need to redo this completely as it looks really bad and unprofessional. I will need to look at Vibe magazine and get inspiration from it. My double page spread has a good layout but it needs more writing, also I think it looks rather fake and the red doesn't look too good, I will definitely need to change the red colour as it doesn't suit my magazine. I will keep the idea of having an image on one side of the page because I think it looks really simple and effective and it looks really neat. I will have a big title at the top of the article, but I need to re-write my article because it is a little serious and people won't find it interesting and also if i'm using a girl I will need a new story.
