Transcript of Evaluation of my School Magazine
Masthead:Used the text tool to
type, I changed the font and colour with the task bar that expanded from
the text tool.
Feature article Photo:
I uploaded this from my camera and
resized it to fit an A4 page. The photo is of
a school student in the library, this is
relevant to one of my main articles in the
magazine.
Cover line:I used the text tool
to write this, I changed the
typography with the task bar.
Tone & Mode of Address:
I chose to make the magazine look
sophisticated with the use of the feature article photo yet
informative with the use of different punctuation and simple cover lines.
Style:I made the magazine for easy reading that is interesting for the
students of the school.
If I were to do the project again what would I do to improve it?
• I would make the magazine more eye catching and colourful to draw the buyers attention to my magazine.
• I would use different conventions on my front cover so that it is more interesting, like the Q magazine and other magazines that are already out for purchase.
• I could make a specific colour scheme that will run throughout my magazine and have a meaning.
• I would select my feature article photo to fit a category of the tone I want to give to my audience, I will pose the character to fit a criteria.
• I could connote more with the difference of my feature article photo and my text.
Bright colours
Masthead
Different typography
Geometric shapes
Typography: The text and colour
scheme are the same as that of the front cover,
this increases the professionalism of the
magazine.
School Logo:Used to make a link
between the magazine and the demographic of the magazine, the logo is recognisable for the
readers.
House Style:I’ve used different cases of text, some upper and
lower cases spread around the page when
it is needed, I have used informal language and
excessive use of punctuation to
emphasise the articles.
Page Numbers:Main articles are
highlighted on this page with their page
numbers for quick reference.
Article Info:Short paragraphs
describing what’s in the article on that particular
page.
If I were to do the project again what would I do to improve it?
• I could include more articles and a wider overview of pages in the magazine.• I could also include pictures that relate to the articles in order to fill negative
space.• The use of a different colour scheme in order for the magazine to be more
appealing to a wider group of pupils from the school.• I could include articles that will attract different types of groups from the school,
such as the novelty geeks, ‘it’ group, nerds etc.• Advertisements would make for good space users and will attract the readers to
different areas of the magazine, people are more likely to buy a magazine if they get what they want from it.
• I should fit the text properly so that it is legible for all readers, it cannot be too small or stretched.
The select and move tool is what I used to
arrange the structure of my magazine.
The transparency tool enables you to select a
colour and erase it from the image on the screen. I however did not use this tool to make my school
magazine.
The text tool allowed to type the words on my magazine, from
this tool you can change the font and colour of the text,
along with the size.
The zoom tool is useful when doing detailed work on
photoshop, you can zoom in and out of the views.
The pipette tool lets you choose a specific colour that’s on the screen, I didn’t use this tool in my school magazine though.
This tool enables you to choose what colour you’re using and
you’re able to easily change this colour.
This is the lasso tool, it allows you to select round
an object on the image and delete it, move it or delete what’s outside the selected
object.
This tool allows you to crop around an image, it is not a complex tool
however.
The erase tool has different sizes which allows you to control what you erase.
This tool makes simple shapes to place onto
your image.
