Contents Page Evaluation

The contents page of my foundation production was my faviourate point to my work, this is because of the colour that i edited in the images posing as the background, although there is again, alot to critise.

This image shows that the contrasts between the font and the background image do not work well together at all, this is because the colours on the background image clash completely and the font is not bold enough to stand out. This was due to poor planning and also poor research.



I feel that this particular part of my production does follow the accepted magazines conventions, I belive that the way the title, 'Contents' stays the same in all three of my documents is logical in the magazine world because the images do nt comprimise the view and readability, whereas some more successful magazine have the flexibility to cover up part of the title of change the font for different issues of their magazine because the public have accepted them into society and don't need reasuring of the different magazines. So because of these reasons i think my production follows all the normal and known magazine conventions.


My production is effective in the way that it has been based on a simular magazine, 'Whitelines', I mean this by realising what parts of a snowboarding magazine was important, for example the obvous factors which instantly let the concumser know what the intended audience of this magazine is, i managed to convey this by using images like the neck of a guitar and a image of the French Alps mountain range. This was beaming connotations of wintersport and music which i think was a crusial part of my magazine task.

This website is the Whitelines homepage, I think it is relevant because i used this for my research to determine what was needed to create a convincing magazine product.

Intended Audience

I wanted my foundation production to be appealing to te younger market because i based this magazine on two things very popular with most people around my age. So my intended audience age group would be between the ages of 14 and 30.

Audience Feedback

The feedback was very important because i asked three people in my intended age group who are intrested in both snowboarding and music. This is relevent because depending on the feedback i get, I can determine who effective my product is.

"I like the colour edit on the background image because it makes the magazine look more like a professional magazine, because if you just used a normal image it would look like you didn't know about magazines"

"I think the best bit is how you made the side images stack up like their falling, this makes it look more of a pleasure magazine not corporate"

Ben Hutton - 27

"I think the contents page looks good because it has images from both snowboarding and music backgrounds which informs the reader what to expect"
