Evaluation of my Preliminary Task - School Magazine.
I will be evaluating my school magazine and contents page. In this evaluation I will be talking about how i could improve my magazine and how it follows and deviates from the codes and conventions of a school magazine.
My magazine follows the conventions of real media products in many ways, firstly it has a masthead, like any other magazine. Other conventions which my school magazine and media products share are cover lines, barcode, issue number, price, central image and inserts. On the other hand, my school magazine deviates from the codes and conventions used by real media products in ways such as the position of the barcode, the masthead having 2 lines, which i thought would be catchy and the way my images has not been cropped it has been kept and been used with its background.
New media technologies such as Photoshop and Quark, i began my front cover on photoshop, as i was new to this program I found it hard initially to create a front cover. I created my masthead using the text tool in photoshop. When it came to creating a contents page, I used Quark, I managed to import the same font as my front cover masthead.
