GCSE Coursework Introduction: Evaluation

Evaluation: How good is my first draft Double Page Spread?

Evaluating your own work is an important part of media production work. 

You need to be able to work out whether your product will be successful enough to 

appeal to your target audience and therefore make any money.

Task:
1. Save your photoshop file as a JPEG image.
2. Paste it onto a landscape Word document.
3. Find a professional magazine to compare it with. Ideally, this will be the double page spread 

you originally found to inspire you to plan your flat plan layout.

4. Label the conventions used by both your double page spread and the professional one. 

Conventions are the things all double page spreads will use such as: 

title, main Image, graphics, text boxes, columns, page numbers, branding, 

a quote taken from the text and fonts.
5. Explain how both pages appeal to their target audience. 

Compare the two products in terms of appeal.
6. Evaluate the success of your product. What improvements do you think you need to make.
