FMP EvaluationJake

Production Process Evaluation

Research• The research helped me get an idea of what my magazine

mite look like. I picked different elements of the products I research and used them in my product. The research also helped me see what looks good in a magazine. If I did it again I would explain why they use some features in magazines.

Planning• The planning was helpful, because when I actual started

making my magazine, I didn’t have to think about what font I should use because I had already decided, which made making the product a lot easier. It also enabled to see what my product would look like, and let me see if something didn’t look right.

Time Management• I think I managed my time well but I could have done it a bit

better, as at some points I started running behind. I should have spent a little less time on some PowerPoints, as I definitely spent too much time on initial plans and research.

Technical Qualities

They both show the name of the magazine at the top of the page, there is a tital for the magazine, they both show a character from the game in the centre of the page.

They both show the same game on the front cover, and the same character. They both also have the

magazine name at the top of the page.

They both use the video games font for the tital, the magazine name is at the top of the page, and a character from the game is placed in the centre of the page.

Aesthetic QualitiesI like the tital for the magazine that I have

created, it looks real and looks unique. I wouldn’t change it even if I had

more time to work on it.

I like what I have done with the tital of the

magazine as it has the same font as the

games.

I added advertisements at the sides of the page

to make the product look like a real

magazine. It also fills the page leave no open

spaces.

Audience Appeal

I used bright colour to appeal to the

female audience.

I appealed to the male audience by using a

male character in the centre of the front

cover.

It appeals to the 15-20 audience because the

game I have advertised on the font cover is an 18.

The title is a term used in video games, so its very eye catching if someone who likes video games

sees it.

The colour red also tell the audience that its not a happy, joyful game, but a violent

bloody game, which will appeal to some

audience members

Some audience members may also recognize the logos for other games or

give away.

The console advertised will appeal to audience members who are fans

of it.

Peer Feedback

Feedback 1

• What did you like about the product?– Well I personally liked how the whole magazine uses

the same colours throughout, I also like how the main image overlaps the assassins creed symbol at the top.

• What improvements could have been made to the product?

• I think the logo could’ve been bolder to make it more visible.

Feedback 2

• What did you like about the product?– The main title is very clearly a gamers magazine because of

the text we see it is in the actual gaming texts and it is set out very well and catches the eye.

– The double page is informative and shows images of the game• What improvements could have been made to the

product?• The Double page spread type face is a little hard to read

and there’s quite a lot of space on the page so it looks more empty than it actually did.

Feedback 3

• What did you like about the product?– What I like about the front cover is the colours used are bold but also

quite bright and would stand out to the target audience I also like the images used and how the text fits in well with the layout and background of the front cover.

• What improvements could have been made to the product?

• The improvements that could have been made on the double page spread are, more text could have been written and it looks quite bare, also more images and colour could of ben used to make it look more welcoming to the reader, and I think this would “up” the attraction to the magazine when it comes to the target audience.

Peer Feedback Summary

• What do you agree with from your peer feedback?– I agree that I should filled out the empty space on the

double page.– And I agree that I should have made the magazine title

font bolder.• What do you disagree with from your peer

feedback?– I disagree that I should have written more on the

double page, as I did write a lot.

Peer Feedback SummaryI would add more images to the double page, to fill out the empty space. I would make the title of the magazine a lot more bold, to make it stand out more. I would also add some brighter colours to the double page.
