Self evaluation

In this unit I created a student magazine this included a front cover and a contents page.

On the front cover I included such things as a masthead, a headline and sub headlines. I then put images on the front cover this is as it draws the audience into the magazine. I had included most of the main things that a normal student magazine would contain. The only thing that I didn’t include was a price for the magazine. I used some of the ways that some student magazines included but changed it to my simplistic type of style.

Most people would believe that as it is a student magazine, and all students are lazy and are drunken young hooligans, then the magazine would be just to advertise parties and nights out. I believe I have succumbed the stereotypical view of students. This is as on the front cover the main headline is about how talented some students are at creative arts in college. I think that I have portrayed a positive image of the students at Ludlow College. The institution that would publish my magazine would be the college.

The audience for my magazine would be for 16-20 year olds and would be aimed at both males and females. I think that people who wanted to know more about college life and what people are doing around the college would be interested in this magazine.

I think that people would be persuaded to buy this magazine because it is very bright and the background photo is very eye catching. I have used a simplistic layout this is as I feel that you can concentrate on the images better this way, as I didn’t want to make it to busy.

I have learnt a lot about blogging as I had never done it before so it was a new experience for me. I used a lot of technology including; a digital camera, publisher, word and Eblogger.

I feel that I have worked well in this unit I just need to spend my time more efficiently and organise myself better.
