Evaluation/ Reflection

When you have finished your draft - write answers to the following questions on your blog to evaluate/ reflect on your production. 

1.In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? (what have you included that we would expect to see on a magazine front cover?)

2.How does your media product represent particular social groups? (Most of you have a picture of students – how are they presented?)

3.Who would be the audience for your media product?

4.How did you attract/address your audience? (What have you done that would make school students buy your magazine?)

Audience Feedback Homework

Audience Feedback

Homework:

Ask 3 people the following questions:

1.What do you think of my school magazine front cover draft?

2.How could I improve it to make it look more professional?

3.Which part of the magazine do you like the most and why?

4. If the magazine was on sale in school, would you buy it?

5.How effective do you think the main image and masthead are?
