Use the mark scheme below and work in pairs to grade the 4 exemplar pieces of
work. You must try and place the work into the correct level. Wherever possible you
should use a best fit model, this means that you take an overall view rather than
harshly penalising for one fault. Use the space provided to give specific examples

The man on the

cover is clearly
an artist,
however they
are not making
eye-contact
with the
camera,
making this
less effective.
And the shot
appears to be
at an awkward
angle from
nearly below
but not quite.
There are
mainly mid
shots used,
then one close
up on the
contents page.

shooting material
appropriate to the

It follows the
alternative rock
theme
throughout,
using men and
guitars. All of
the men follow
a similar yet not
too alike style.
On the cover, it
is clear that it
was intentional
that the picture
isnt bright as
an effect has
been applied.
Then
throughout,
there are
pictures of men
at gigs,
therefore this
changes the
lighting, but the
pictures are
always clear
each time.

Overall, it is
very busy on
every page,
using lots of
images.
The cover
picture is edited
quite well to
help the
presentation.
The smaller
images that
have been
resized, have
been done
effectively as
they are all still
in proportion.
However, on
the DPS I dont
think they
should have
added to black
and white
photos with two
normal photos.
This doesnt
follow any
theme.

It sounds
exactly like a
typical
magazine in
the interview
however it is
not easy to see
that it is
alternative
rock. It reminds
me of pop as
theres a lot of
enthusiasm,
and
exclamation
marks.

page is
effective
because it
shows a lot of
understanding
of the layout of
a good contents
page. The cover
is also good,
with a large title
and smaller
other text below
it.
They do this
effectively
throughout,
except the
words Brad
Spectre should
be slightly
smaller as they
are competing
with the title as
well as the
cover image
due to being so
large.
This has been
done
effectively,
fitting images
together in
proportion on
the contents
page as well as
using different

It is enthusiastic
and uses jargon
involving DJs,

The double

messy and does
