JAD Feedback

Some good work here but also some work missing Jay.

The Key Conventions was supposed to be about music magazines in general, not a particular title. It's ok now that you have done it - but add some analysis of how the 'rule of thirds' has been used in contents pages and double page spreads (see Fronter for guidance on this).

You still need to post your title block analysis and design, your drafts (scan in) and your focus group video. get this done asap.

Also, you school magazine cover and contents pages are missing. If these are not completed, you will lose 25% of marks from the main task!

Homework Magazine Analysis


The magazine cover consists of a colour photograph of six people dressed in semi – formal attire. It is a long shot with all six people in comfortable but yet presentable positions highlighting their formality in relation with the business magazine. Behind them is a grassy background with trees, the roof of a house and a clear blue sky. The clear blue sky and shinning sunlight upon their faces creates a positive, friendly image. The photo takes up the whole magazine cover with the masthead and sub-headings in blue, once again emphasising a “jolly” spirit. Three of the men are also wearing blue and one of the ladies has a blue dress. One criticism I would have of the colour blue is that it is not the most contrasting of colours on top of green (especially the sub-headings) and part of the word “Business” is camouflaged with the background making it harder to attract the eyes of a potential customer.
