At the start of week 7, I still needed to ask one more person for feedback on my front cover and double page spreads. The second person I asked mentioned that my front cover was that there was a good amount of sell lines as it doesn’t divert the audience from the main image, however, she mentioned that I could add one or two more sell lines just to see if it makes the front cover look better. Also she liked that the masthead is stretched across the page which makes it stand out more.
She then mentioned that on my first double page spread the heading is spread out across the two pages which is aesthetically pleasing. Also the drop cap is a convention of a magazine.

Finally, she mentioned that on my second double page spread, the collage of pictures looks good on the page and the two outfits fit in well together. Furthermore, the wrap text on the left hand page looks good as it wraps around her body which looks unique. The collage of pictures looks good on the page and the two outfits fit in well together.

After receiving feedback from two people before I produced my final magazine, for week 7 I decided to start my evaluation which is the last part for task 2 on my brief. For my evaluation I need to explain the aesthetic, technical and production decisions taken and evaluation how the resulting product successfully appeals to the target audience. I also need to review my project management by evaluating the success of the different activities undertaken and discuss specific examples of how effective they were in having an impact upon the planning and pre-production of the digital media production. Consider the project management of logistics (such as personnel, resources and time), finance , creative processes, and factors such as how well you maintained the documentation, minimised risks and complied with regulatory issues. Finally, I need to consider how I managed any problems or difficulties that occurred during the project and draw conclusions to identify ways in which the project management processes you used may be improved upon in future productions.
By the end of week 7, I had finished my evaluation and I received feedback from it, to allow me to make improvements so I could produce an evaluation to the best of my ability. I then added my final product onto my website and handed everything in for my assignment.
