Print Prelim Product and Evaluation


  • I have used a mast head in bold, large, bright text.
  • Main sell line is bold and bright
  • These are similar to Elle magazine which also uses bright large text and fonts
  • Other sell lines are less bold and bright
  • Image in medium close up
  • Contents page has photos appropriate for magazine
  • Images as a background
  • Main font is bold and bright for each section
  • Large page numbers
  • Small brief outline for each section
  • Small box for magazine subscription
  • Colour scheme is bright and consistent
  • My audience for this magazine is from ages 16 and 18
  • Mainly advertised as a female student magazine
  • Consists of fashion trends, health, beauty products, education
  • Small section for sport, could be aimed at male readers
  • Front page however does not attract the male stereotypical view
  • Interests of students would be ones who enjoy fashion looks, want to succeed in a future career, university applicants, like to enjoy themselves by going out to clubs but still want to get the best out of college
  • I attract my audience by:
  • bright,fresh colours
  • bold interesting sell lines
  • student discounts
  • top ten student clubs
  • how to get the best out of college life
  • And educational things such as students who have gained high A level results
  • Different themes and information students would want to know about
  • In a language that's not formal
  • Image of a college student
  • What I have learnt about technologies from constructing this product:
  • confident with using apple macs, such as copy and pasting and opening software
  • Photoshop and ID familiar with the tools and content, found it rewarding
  • Blog, changing documents to JPEGs
  • Designing both my blog and my magazine
  • I found that the best way to learn these technologies was to play around with the tools and get used to the way in which they work.
