The student felt their contents page was their weakest aspect due to unfamiliarity with the software and an underdeveloped plan. They also neglected to fully plan the magazine contents but were able to address this through audience research. For future projects, the student plans to take more photos related to the cover, develop backup flat plans, and think through the contents more thoroughly. The student was also pleased with aspects of their work like the cover photo using direct gaze and colors appealing to the target audience, consistent font choice, eye-catching subheadings incorporating audience interests, and the clear layout of the cover page.

I feel the weakest aspect of my work was probably my
contents page. I feel like that was due to my un familiarity with
InDesign and the fact that my flat plan for my contents page wasnt as well thought out. I also neglected to think through the contents of my magazine but managed to save myself there by looking at the survey results I took of my target audiences interests. In the next contents page that I make, I will make sure that I take more photos relating to my main cover photo and a few which connote aspects from my sub headings. I will also make sure to think through my flat plan better and maybe even make one or two so that if I'm not happy with the first plan I have got a back up one to rely on.
Overall Im pretty happy with my magazine front cover however if I was to do anything differently I think I might have changed my background so it wasnt so busy and maybe do it against a plain wall or something similar to that. I also think I could have added some buzz words and although it was free I forgot to put a price on it which is one of the main conventions of any magazine. However like I stated before hand I am very pleased with my overall magazine, but in my next attempt I will make sure to improve on all of the above!
What aspects of my work could be improved on. The Aspects of my work that I am pleased with: The aspects of my work that I am most pleased with are the photos I took, especially my cover photo due to the use of direct gaze and the colourfulness which links to the research that I did on identifying which colours attracted my target audience the most. I am also really happy with the choice of font, which I used the whole way through my magazine, I feel like it made it all relate really nicely and brought it all together. I am happy with my subheadings as well, I feel that they are eye catching and intriguing and think that they succeed in the task of interesting people. I also feel I did really well in incorporating from the research what my T.A are interested in. I also really liked the layout of my cover page, I feel like his face is clear and visible and nothing is particularly covered. Overall I think I did a pretty good job on my front page and I am
