School magazine evaluation questions

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of school magazines?

My magazine looks like what a school magazine should, it has an image relevant to school, cover lines which are relevant and a title which is clear what the magazine includes. School magazines are supposed to be informative but also include images and text which are interesting to the age group of the reader and this is what my magazine includes. The image is general to the school as it is of students who have just received their exam results infront of the school building which is easily recognisable by all students who attend Plantsbrook School.

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

I have learnt how to create a front cover using fireworks which is new to me and something I’ve not used before. Fireworks has allowed me to add text and images to create a magazine and to use the different tolls that fireworks has. I have found this valuable as it has given me good experience about how to create a new magazine for the rest of the course. I have also learnt how to use cooltext and how to add it onto my magazine on fireworks and it will also help with many topics throughout media when choosing a title to put on a piece of work or another magazine.

Survey Monkey Graph Analysis- School Magazines

My Survey Monkey results show that people preferred the masthead of Design A and the main image of design A the most. This means I know what image attracts people to the magazine and it is a high quality image of a person.
The results show that 5/6 people (83.3%) would be attracted by a puff of a notepad to purchase the magazine. This shows that free 'stuff' is a factor as to what people look for when buying a magazine.
Graph 7 shows that the masthead and the puff are the most important features that people look for when buying a magazine.

Overall, my results show that Design A was the most popular and the features of the design were the best out of the 3 designs.
