Evaluation Criteria

Evaluation Criteria I think that the magazine cover and contents page is suitable for my target audience. My main target audience is pupils aged 14 – 18 and my secondary target audience is the parents of the pupils. I think that the cover and contents page suits the audience because it has formal writing and a picture of a pupil on the front and contents page which keeps the customers attracted to the magazine. When I was editing my images I used “fireworks” to recolor the background of my image to blend into the colour of my front cover using the colour tool. I also used the shape tool to create shapes to design my contents page and to make the headline stand out. I used a formal way of attracting the customer by using a strict colour scheme and using an eye catching images on my front cover and contents page. I directly composed the reader to get their attention easier and I used an interesting masthead which would attract the readers. I changed the layout of my front cover because I found it easier to layout the picture and the headline in a different way than I had planned which in all changed the look of my magazine and made it more attractive. My magazine was written in bullet points on the contents page which showed the contents of the magazine in written English but not full sentences.
