Preliminary task assessment

  1. Full colour printing is expensive so having an online copy would be a cheaper way of selling it. My magazine has a happier sense to sense to it due to the colour, this makes it better than other school magazine which are often quite unimaginative and boring.

  1. Mine is a College magazine so it is targeted at a older audience of 16-years and older. The masthead is quite formal; almost like handwriting. I believe this would make it more attractive to my target audience as they are in College/University.

  1. I found that through developing my photography skills with a task of taking 500 pictures over the summer holidays, I could have adapted the photo shoot to having an extreme close-up shot of the Bunsen burner while the students are preparing in the background (blurred out). I also would have needed to focus on thinking more about the setting – remove unnecessary items from the shot, blue bucket, lanyards, add aprons, etc.

  1. Still in the early stages of developing my media technology knowledge, I used the basics of Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator to complete the magazine. Now, I know that I can apply more techniques to my work in order to make it more professional and attractive.
