The Previous Student’s work which I found particularly interesting was example 2. This was because i found it most engaging and interesting.
Here is an image of the previous students work of which I analysed this includes a front page, contents page and a double page spread, this will be what I will be creating as part of my project.

Use of camera and Photoshop
I found the camera angles effective and made this magazine much more interesting and engaging. On the Front Page there is a medium long shot photo with the use of layers, the main cover star has been layered to be behind the text to create an engaging effect. The use of Photoshop and how they’ve cut out the person has made a 3D type look. Also the photographer has made the model look down, the designer has created the effect where the model looks down on the words this is captivating as it makes a reader also look at the words. Next on the cover page the main image has the model looking directly into the camera at a high angle medium long shot, it makes the image the main image as it is eye catching. As well as that they have used multiple different camera angles in a small creative design on the page, using mid shot, medium close up and long shots. Finally the page also follows the theme of the magazine. Finally, the double page spread uses 2 long shots covering majority of the page. The image is very well lit and uses two different variety of angles, as well as framing. The designer has used photo shop to adjust the colours of the image to make it more eye catching and effective. The model has been cut out very accurately and well and was inserted effectively into a flower.
Use of Mise-en-scene
Within the magazine the use of mise-en-scene has been effective and consistent throughout, it mainly shows that the magazine is fashion magazine featuring women. The style of clothing connotes a feminine magazine and a trendy stylish style. The accessories such as the ice lollies are effective as the words flow adequately into the masthead. Additionally the way the chair is used in the double page spread but then had been Photo shopped out of is effective as the designer has created a flower for the model to be sat on.
Use of choice of words
Next the choice of words helps create the theme of the magazine. For example the words on the double page spread ‘Prom Queen’ these words show that the magazine is a fashionable feminine magazine aimed at the female side. Each page of the magazine have not been overloaded in words which makes the words on the page simple, eye catching, engaging and their bold.
Use of colour
Finally the use of colour throughout all 3 pages work really well together as they are neutral and each page highlights a key colour matching an image. The colours have been made to match the person or clothing they are wearing.
