All the images are

about mid shots. There
is one image that is
more of longer shot but
still isnt a full body

The camera used looks
like it was either a

Badly lit lighting. The
image on the front is
yellow and the pink
background is reflected
on the double page
spread. There is no use
of props or relevant
material.
The way the model in
the photos is posing is
very much like a
fashion magazine.
There are also a few
images of clothes
which is off track with
the music style
magazine.
The magazine uses
short snappy
sentences which is

There are many

different font styles.
They all suit the
purpose of the text
such as if it has to be
easy to read or if it has
to stand out. However,
I think there are too
many different styles.
There are many
different font sizes and
all are appropriate
sizes for the text itself.
The majority of the
image have had very
little work done to
them, the magazine
does not look
professionally done.

Summary Comment

The work done on this magazine is very basic. Text wise I think they did very well by
using appropriate text fonts and sizes as they made the masthead and head line bold
and stand out, whereas the article text was small and in a font easy to read. I think
that they shouldve used a wider variety of image shot and made them properly lit.
They also are not styles in a way that represents or shows that it is a music magazine.

Overall I think the magazine is a moderate standard at about a high level 2/low level 3.

Summary Comment
I think that this magazine is really good on a whole and could score a high level 3/ low
level 4. They had a lot of images that all used props or mise en scene related to the
magazine. They laid it out very well and used Photoshop very well to create the cover,

Overall I think this magazine is very good. They have a good knowledge in
ICT and how to use it. As well as how to frame and shoot an image. If they
add more shot lengths then this magazine would be a low level 3 instead
of a level 2.
