Summary Comment BEATS magazine: Overall the student has used a variety of
shots, fonts and layouts but I do not think they have a developed understanding of page
layout and design. This has affected their outcome as the arrangement makes the
magazine look too busy. The colour palette has a strange mix of colour that would not
normally be put together. With the two bright colours placed on top of each other, it

immature feel.

Summary Comment Touched magazine: Most of the shots used in the is magazine
are mid/mid-long shots. This follows common conventions of a magazine as the audience can see
the styling of the model. There is not much variety of other shots and this can demonstrate a
limited skill in framing a shot. However, the pictures are of a good quality which creates a
professional and realistic look. There does seem to be some thought in the mise en scene of the
photographs, however I am not sure they really fit the genre of the magazine. Additionally, the
background features a lot of bright colours which takes the audiences attention away from the
artist (who should be the main feature of the magazine). She has used some good integrating
techniques. E.g she has cut out the model from the background, making her much more prominent.
This looks really effective. Overall, she has successfully created a music magazine which includes
the general conventions of a magazine and is therefore her product is easily identified as a
magazine.

Summary Comment RAWR magazine: The photographs in this magazine are of a

very high quality. The photographer has clearly taken the mise en scene into great
consideration. Although most the shots are mid/mid-long shots, they are of a
faultless standard and are very effective. One can only assume that the student is a
talented photographer. As previously the mentioned the mise en scene is used to an
impeccable standard. The artist style really represents the realistic styling of a
rock/indie musician which would effectively appeal to their target audience. They
have also used a fitting language register which suits the style of the magazine. This
is a quality magazine product and deserves a respectable grade.
