My Draft Cover Page
Peer Feedback
A friend assessed my work so that I can further understand what is needed to improve.
- What type of shots have been used to create a variety of shot distances and how has the camera been used to communicate meaning?
She has taken a longshot of her model. The shot shows that the model is extraordinary and is showing off her full outfit.
- What choice of Mise en scene is appropriate for the star image and genre?
The model’s wardrobe, makeup, and hair is a good mix of cool and classy. She’s wearing casual jeans and a jacket, but also has silky styled hair and expensive-looking jewelry.
- How far is the font used readable and reflects the genre?
The font is both fun and bubbly but also sophisticated and sharp. The colour palette is really well applied to create a vibe of girliness but also power, as purple is a very royal and rich colour.
- What technical conventions of a Contents page are present and used effectively?
The title ‘what’s inside’ as well as the page numbers are very conventional of the magazine and create the vibe of a classic contents page. The added in pug, as well as a separate heading for more special people in the magazine, is good as it displays their importance.
- How has Indesign been used to layout the page to convey a brand?
The layout is very clear and she has used InDesign to create a gradient background which adds a little something extra to the page. The writing is laid out neatly and is really well applied.
- How well have the text and visuals been integrated together?
The colours go really well together making the magazine look neat and tidy but also fun and different.
- Where has photoshop been used to manipulate the photos to enhance the star image or genre?
She used photoshop to cut out the picture of the model which was really impressive.
- How is the language used appropriately for the genre and target audience?
Her use of exclamation marks and commanding words such as ‘grab’ as well as words like ‘one of a kind!’ presents the idea of the magazine being fun and youthful which is perfect for her audience.
5 targets:
- Try different layouts
- Try a different image of my model
- Experiment with colours/gradients
- Talk about music instead of fashion
- Add another cover line.
