Above are the links that i used in the production of my evaluation. They are all in order. My evaluation shows the process that i went through and the decisions that i made. I talk about why i chose what i did, what/who influenced my magazine and all about codes and conventions. I also looked at the target audience for my product, how social groups can be represented,, media institution, technologies that i used and preliminary tasks. This all helped with the process to creating my end product.

Final Magazine

Here is my final magazine. I have done all of the improvements asked and i have also changed everything that i should have. In my evaluation where i talk about the construction of my magazine.  I believe that from my draft i have also implemented a lot more changes that have made my magazine a lot more like a magazine, it looks a lot more like a rap magazine and everything fits and matches. 

Drafting and planning- Draft after peer marked

Here is my final draft where i tried to complete everything that my teacher and peers told me however i did not complete some things and i am not fully happy with it. I needed to change the font of the words 'Malik Forrester' under the picture of the boy on the bottom left of the contents page and i also needed to write the boys name in the top right picture. 
I changed the background to black but there is still a lot of blank space. Therefore i need to change this for my final Magazine. 

Organisation- Picture for double page spread

For my contents i firstly used a picture of the girl in her school uniform and the picture was not of a good quality and it also did not have a good quality to it. Therefore i took better picture of her in a cap where she looks more like the character i created for her on the front. 

Drafting and planning- Draft

This is my draft magazine. I presented them all in front of my class and they gave me a lot of constructive criticism. They let me know that there was a lot of negative space and that some of the cover lines were not easy to read. therefore that i needed to change the colour of my writing or the wallpaper. The writing that went over my contents page image was also seen as a negative as it did not look like a contents page. My peers also suggested that i make the girl on the double page spread smaller and put the other girl off the main image on the other side and this was very useful criticism. 
My teacher then also gave me some criticism that i need to remove 1st from the date line and i also need to get rid of the negative space. I also need to include reviews on my contents and link my contents, front page and double page spread together for example have on the contents about the Vixxens then put a page number and put the page number on the double page spread. 

Organisation- Main image

This is the image i have chosen for my main image. It is against a white background so that it is easy to crop out. The girl on the left is pulling up her collar; this makes her look cool and gives her edge also the expression on her face looks as though she is ready and serious. The girl on the right is leaning to the side and pulling her chain out her mouth. This gives off a rebellious feel and could therefore draw in my target market of teens that enjoy rap in even more. 

Organisation- Main image finals

These are the main image finals. I had to choose out of these which one i would use in my final main image. I choose to have the second image down. The reason for this is that the amount of attitude they are giving off is perfect. I love the way the girl on the right is biting the chain this gives a feeling of rebellion and adds to the freshness of the magazine.  
The girls are also dressed in clothes that can be associated with rappers such as Iggy Azalea. Giving them a ready fresh rappers look.
