Evaluation

The pictures follow on the next post.

The magazine is supposed to follow conventions of real media products, namely NME, Uncut and Q.
It doesn't develop or challenge any current conventions, other than not having a background for the main image.

The magazine represents the younger generation of readers, by only featuring articles that 15-25 year old's would be interested in.

The kind of media institution that would distribute Bazinga would be one that is tailored to young adults.

Below is a comparison of Bazinga and the college magazine, Reeditt.

Bazinga is fuller.

The text in Bazinga has been edited more. There is more detail in the different effects.

Not as many cover lines in Reedit.

The main image is better placed in Bazinga.

The Masthead has been edited for effect more on Bazinga, but the Reedit masthead would have been better if it was edited a little more.

Reedit main article does not stand out; it is indistinguishable from the other articles.

Reedit has no banners.

Bazinga text is easier to see because of the different editing techniques used.

Text is more defined on Bazinga because of editing.

The text in Reedit has been edited to differing amounts, and this is very obvious.

The reedit masthead looks a tiny bit better proportioned to the rest of the page.

Reedit has a date.

Overall I have learned a bit about Photoshop, but not quite enough to produce a better quality product.
