Evaluation

My magazine follows the basic conventions of a magazine. As it has a masthead, cover lines and images. My magazine represents the social group of sixth formers (teenagers) as all the images have got to do with sixth formers. Also the text I conclude underlines what is going on in my magazine which will attract the target audience to reading it.

A college/sixth form would be the perfect institution for my magazine and the reason being is because the target audience would be able to relate to what is in the magazine, for example, one of the cover lines talk about "exams". A student would be interested into that straight away because sixth formers and college students would need help in that.

The way I attracted the target audience was by including the front cover of an image of two girls with art that attracts the audience because people see good pieces of work and that would interest them and would want to read the magazine. Although the text is formal, the audience have the ability to understand what is being said as the words used are still simple.

What I have learned through the process of making is that I should use other media software’s, such as “Photoshop” as well as “Indesign”. The reason for that is because my magazine would be more creative and inventive.
