You preliminary task shows a good grasp of dtp software and the relevant codes and conventions. Your analysis of codes and conventions is thorough and detailed but ensure you refer to theorists and apply their ideas to your analysis of codes and conventions. E.g. you mention the model gives direct address, what audience need does this gratify? You research into audiences is complete but it could be presented in a more appealing format – consider using graphics to give readers a quick overview. Good use of focus group, well presented, but a breakdown of the composition of the group would be welcome. Your mock-ups are clean and the name and masthead are credible. Ensure you include sufficient conventional features particularly on your cover and dps. Look at your examples for ideas of what more to include.
15/20 Your blog is more clearly signposted and your mock-ups have improved, but add text and other details. Your contents page, in particular, would benefit from final text. Consider adding captions to your thumbnails also. You still need to show how theorists' ideas apply to the C&C's you identify.
Production Task 48/60 You show evidence of creative use of technical skills and understanding of the conventions of layout and page design. To improve, consider increasing the image size of the photograph for your double page spread. The quality of your thumbnails on your contents page is also patchy, the image illustrating page 14 is particularly underwheling in the context of otherwise strong images.
Evaluation 16/20 You evaluation is thorough and detailed showing a good understanding of audience needs and representation. Perhaps your analysing of your preliminary task could show more evidence of learning and progression.
Production 52/60 Changing the framing of the image of your dps, and the thumbnail of your contents page, have made both elements stronger. Overall you show excellent understanding of the conventions of layout and page design. Well done.
