evaluation of preliminary task

When evaluationg my front cover and contents page there were many good things about it but also quite a few bad things.
Firsly I looked at the things that worked such as the title 'Bishop Banter' which related to the type of magazine that I was trying to produce which was a school magazine that represented the fun, enjoyable side to school. Additionally the main picture used on my front cover did also relate to the meaning of my magazine as there was a young student jumping at the joy of school.
Some more good points about my work was I used a variety of different shots when taking pictures which gave a clearer view point of the school such as the long shot I used to portray the P.e students.


However I also looked at the negative points to my work.
This includes such things as the colour scheme between my front cover and contents page. the colour scheme between my contents page and front cover did not match due to the main colours of the front cover which were black, white, red and orange whereas the main colours of my contents page were grey, white and black.
Also my contents page was not really done with as much effort as I put into my front cover. It lacked text and background information on on the magazine stories which I had included on my front cover.
another negative was the framing and lighting of my pictures. when taking the pictures I didnt look at the background colours which would effect the pictures and some of the pictures taken had things cut off such as hands, bits of heads.
 From my evaluation I will improve on my skills and use them on my main task.
