 Magazine front cover - Learner response

Create a new blogpost called 'Magazine cover learner response' and complete the following tasks:

1) Add your finished magazine cover as a JPEG image.

2) Type up your feedback from your teacher. If you've received this by email, you can copy and paste it across - WWW and EBI. You don't need to include a mark or grade if you don't want to.

Mark out of 15 for Media Language: 13

 

Estimated A Level coursework grade: A

 

WWW: This is top level production work – and you’ve also gone above and beyond in producing two different magazines. You’ve already had some feedback on the Vogue India cover but it really is very impressive – comfortably sitting alongside the professional examples and holding its own. Your cover for the Gentlewoman is also strong – I prefer the more zoomed in version as it makes a stronger connection with the audience without so much in the background. If you can reach these standards for the real brief next year you should be looking at a top grade in your coursework – well done!

 

EBI: Unless I’ve missed it I can’t see the evaluation questions answered on either of your magazine cover posts so please choose one of those and answer the questions on the original project blog task. I would also say that my previous comment/suggestion on your Vogue India cover of choosing a magazine with more cover lines (for example a more conventional lifestyle magazine) still stands. This could have helped with text layout and page design. The final comment would be on photography and ensuring images do not have busy backgrounds that distract from the main subject – this will be important in the coursework next year if the brief is print adverts.

 

LR: Complete the blog LR task for the magazine cover project and make sure the evaluation questions are completed.

3) Consider your mark against the mark scheme above. What are the strengths of your production based on the the mark scheme? Think about magazine cover conventions and the media language techniques you have used to communicate with your audience (e.g. mise-en-scene, camera shot etc.) Notice the focus on narrative in the mark scheme for Media language.

it follows conventions of the other magazines im copying.

5) What would be one piece of advice you would give a student about to start the same magazine cover project you have just completed? 

keep comparing your one to the original magazine to try accurately copy how it is layed out
