Self-Evaluation for my Preliminary Page

Front Page of School Magazine:

For my front page I can see different aspects, which I have done well, and others in which I can improve. My masthead, which I have chosen, has been placed in the corner of the page leaving it looking less like a title and more like a name of an article include in the magazine. To improve I would need to increase the size of the Masthead and move the position of the title towards the middle. Also by pinning and tilting the three pictures on my front page, it almost causes an illusion with the main image making it look tilted too. Also I have tilted the pictures only slightly and to improve I should make sure I tilt the picture thoroughly so it is clear the image is being tilted to either the left or the right. I have chosen to use the same font size for the majority of writing on my front page and to improve the magazine and make it look more interesting I should vary the sizes and fonts of the text I include. To improve for next time I could also make sure the distance between each box of writing is equal as on certain boxes the text is more towards the top of the box than the bottom meaning it is not positioned in the middle which would make for a well presented front cover page.

Contents Page of School Magazine:

For my contents page I have done certain aspects well and others in which I could improve. When adding the title to the contents page I wrote ‘content’ rather than a more suitable name which should be ‘contents’. To improve further I could also make the font size of the title bigger as it did not fit the whole top space of the page and made the top look too plain. Also the page numbers I included were wrong as for example, I listed the first page as being a page of information about the school when the all first pages of magazines are the Front Page not when the information starts. Also to improve for next time I could add more suitable images and take better pictures to show off the school more. However, one point I did well was add a suitable background which made all the writing easy to read and made all the different aspects on the contents page stand out and it made them a lot easier to read.

Overall:

To conclude on my performance over the tasks we have done, I feel I have worked well and kept within a reasonable time frame. I’ve made sure I completed all my work and uploaded it on to the Blogger website. To improve for future reference I could make sure I comment more on my peers work when they blog it and get them to comment on my pieces of work too. This will make us improve on our work generally as getting feedback from others in the class will show us where we can improve and what we’re doing right. By commenting on others people’s work I can help them to improve and gain an understanding in what they’re doing right and how they could improve.
