Main Task: Post Production Feedback
Strengths:
People thought that the front cover was neat and the structure was very organised. People also said it was easy to identify the different conventions which were present. Some people thought that the colors were correct as they were bright and it gives off a positive vibe to the magazine. Other people thought that the main image on the front cover depicts what the magazine is all about.
Weaknesses:
People thought that the model on the front cover's face was not really seen and therefore takes away the focus of the main image. Other people found it hard to read some of the text which was white, on top of the light colored background.
Contents Page Feedback
Strengths:
People found that the contents page was very consistent to the front cover and could be largely recognised with it. Another thing that people found about about my contents page was that it was very tidy and seemed like there was nothing out of place. Some other people thought that the contents page is very light and therefore made people want to read it. Another thing about my contents page that people liked were that it had nice colour coordination.
Weaknesses:
Some people thought that there was not that many pictures taken for the contens page and that lets it down.
Double Page Spread Feedback
Strengths:
People thought that the double page spread had lots of detail and that made people interested in it. Other people found that the interview questions on the double page spread was realistic and very interesting. As well as this, people found the double page spread to look a bit futuristic with the colours and so made the page more attractive. People thought that the text for the double page spread was interesting and the design of it looked quite modern.
Weaknesses:
Some people thought that the double page spread was a bit dark and gloomy which might be off putting for and R&B magazine. Some other people thought that the double page spread did not really go with the rest of the magazine.
Main Task: Unmanipulated Photos
I decided to use this picture on my contents page as it shows the person laughing which gives a up beat feel to my magazine.
I decided to have this picture as my front cover because I believe it to be a strong image which r
epresents how young people react to R&B as it is soothing and something people definitely want to listen to.
I thought this image was good to use on my Double Page Spread as it has good length and shows some emotion which is always good for magazines.
I decided to use this image because it is a strong image which I have place in my contents page. I used this photo because it is a believable image and looks good.
Images which were not used
I never used this image because the arm has been cut off of this girl and it spoils the photo.
I never used this image as part of my magazine because it looks as if the guy in the photo is uncomfortable and this would give the wrong impression for my product.
Set up of the photo shoot
This is the set up of the photo shoot, as you can see the softbox has been positioned in front of the guy in the image, it is also not too far away so the lighting will be sufficient.
