MY EVALUATION

Stephanie Snyman Media coursework evaluation on Prezi

idea's for my evaluation

i am thinking of doing my evaluation on Prezi.com as I like the way it is presented. I also like that you can make you're evaluation visual and can make I more in depth than any other option.

Final draft of my FRONT COVER

this is the final draft of my front cover, i have decided to use the colour scheme of red white and black because i like the way that the fonts stand out against the black background, the use of costuming with the blue jacket makes it coordinate with the colours of London.

The use of font of the masthead is influenced by the vogue magazine.

changed draft of front cover

double page spread

this is the other side of my double page spread, i have used the same colour scheme of red white and pink for continuity. I have also kept the same sort of pictures of 'Amy B' throughout. i have used text boxes to make the ext stand out and attract the reader to the information given.

I have changed fonts slightly to make the page seem more eye-catching and different instead of simply using the same font all the time.

I like he use of white on this page as it is very bold against he black background.

DPS

this is one side of my double page spread, i like the idea of having one side just a picture, i also added a quote to give a bit of insight about the person the feature is about. I have kept the red font colour for continuity throughout.

final draft of my CONTENTS PAGE

this is my final draft of my contents page, I have removed some of the pictures of Amy as I thought it seemed like I had too many of her, I added some new pictures to advertise the clothing and to give some variety to my magazine.

contents page

this is the first draft of my contents age, i have used the same colour scheme except added blue to those page to give an extra element of colour. i have used the masthead on this contents page for continuity. i have also used black text in front of a white background to make it stand out. it is also the opposite of what i have done on my other pages therefore giving a variety to my pages although still keeping them similar.

FIRST DRAFT OF MY FRONT COVER

DPS ANALYSIS-GLAMOUR

IMAGE

the position Amanda Seyfried is in, with her knees up , makes her look young and vulnerable, you would normally see little girls sit like this when they are felling threatened or vulnerable. The way her hair is covering her body too adds to this secretive front that she is putting on. however, her eyes tell a different story. her body position may say secretive, but her eyes look as though she is giving away all her secrets. this draws the reader in because its like Seyfried is going to tell the reader her deepest secrets.

TEXT

the language use din the interview is almost gossipy. but in a classy way. the way the journalist describes Seyfried " her voice croaks hoarsely" is as if she is judging her in a way, the way she is acting or talking. this makes the audience feel like they are being told a secret or are part of the gossip. "she orders a latte" this quote makes the audience feel as though they are in the coffee shop with them,as well as letting them in on her favourite coffee drink. This text is meant to make the audience feel part of the interview, or as though they are friends with Amanda Seyfried.

CONTENTS PAGE ANALYSIS-GLAMOUR

This is the contents page of GLAMOUR magazine- a womens monthly magazine.

COLOUR

the masthead of Glamour is written across the top of this contents page in different shades of pink, similar to the shades of pink you get when buying lipsticks. This inter-textual reference is so that the audience knows that firstly this magazine is aimed at women but also that in this issue they can expect allot about beauty or fashion.

The heading for each puff and page number are also in pink, this is to make them stand out more to the reader, it makes it easier for the reader to find the page number they want so in a way it is used as a helpful hand to the reader. this theme of oink is in keeping with the theme of this months cover colour, the writing on the cover is all oink therefore the magazine is keeping a clear theme.

IMAGES

this contents page only has one dominant image, the image of this model in an outfit with text saying "we ♥ this £49 skirt! just on of the 100's of steals inside!" this this is to give the reader an taste of what is to come in the issue. the reader will see this outfit and will want to look through the magazine at what other style tips it has to offer. once again, using the strategy of helping the audience to draw them in.

MY CONTENTS PAGE

MASTEAD IDEA

This was the idea for my masthead, i like this font because it looks grungy and broken, it eminds me of teenagers and students. i cose red and white for the colour of my masthead because it represents london.

ANALYSIS OF DPS- THE FLY

PATRICK WOLF:

LAYOUT:

this interview with patrick wolf is layed out in a typical interview format, the simple question and answer format apart from the fact file in the beginning, it has simple facts about the artist fro e.g. producer, studio etc. this is so that the audience can automatically read through these facets and already know allot about the artist, they can know exactly who they are and what they do without having to read the entire article. the way the image is positioned relates to the contents page, in a calendar format with the large image on the top and writing underneath, this again makes the audience think this is an important article because it is part of their calendar if you will.

IMAGE:

The image is of a man on a piano and holding a microphone in what looks like a recording studio, there are musicians in the background playing and he is in the front. this image makes the audience think that this image captures the moment that this musician (Patrick Wolf) was making his album or music, so it gives them an inside look at how and what was going on during the process of this album being created. it also makes the audience feel as though they are part of that moment with the musician.

LANGUAGE:

The journalist addresses the artists in a very casual manor, he/she says "hi Patrick" as though they were bumping into an old friend, this makes the audience feel as though they know the artist, they feel like they are there with them in the interview.

SECOND ANALYSIS OF CONTENTS PAGE- THE FLY

THE FLY

layout:

This content page is layed out like a calendar, this is to show the audience that it is a new year, a new start for the fly magazine. It makes the audience feel like they will be there with you through the year because a calendar is something that will give you all your important dates, the magazine will give you all of the important music information. the contents page is also layed out in a list-type format, the contents are in neat columns, this layout is similar to the gig-lists that the fly are famous for. the audience relates this style to the listings and automatically they are reminded of all the wonderful ratings reviews and bands that are to come in the magazine. there is only one image used on this content page, it also fills up half of the page and it is above the columns, this signifies how important music is to the fly's reader. it comes on top of everything else and it plays a huge part in their lives.

image:

The image on this content page is a close up of a young woman's face,with nicely done hair and make-up, she has bright eyes and is giving a piercing look at the camera. the woman in the image could be an artist herself, or someone heavily involved in the music industry, we know this by her look, she looks determined and independent, as if even if you don't know who she is you want to or you should know who she is and what she does. her make-up, although well done does not look as professional as it could look, it looks as though it has been done how a teenage girl would do it, this is to make her look young and fresh, in keeping with the young audience. The lighting in the is image is over-exposed, this is to show the audience that they are going to get an in depth look into this woman and that the fly is going to tell you everything you need to know about her.

FIRST ANALYSIS OF CONTENTS PAGE-Q

Q

layout
in the contents page of Q magazine the layout is very organised, this is because the target audience is men aged between 35 and 50, therefore they are more sophisticated and mature.

images
there are two images on this page, the main dominant image is of the manic street preachers, this image fills up about half the page, showing that the audience is more interested in classic bands and classic music, however the other image is of radiohead, a fairly modern band. this shows that the audience is also interested in new and upcoming bands as well as classic bands such as the manic street preachers. The fact that the image takes up half the page shows that although the reader may be mature and has his own upper-middle class life, music still plays a large part in his life.
