The shots used are

not famed well. The
model is not in the
centre of many shots
and the shots are
not very
professional. The

awful, like someone
has stood on a table
to take it.

context for presentation,
including cropping and

A variety of shot
distances have been
used, but none of
them are very good.
They are bad quality
and look like theyve
been taken with a
phone.
The fashion in the
photos is not really
right for a music
mag. 2 of the photos
have props in that
lead us to music but
not really pop music,
the DPS photo looks
like it should be for a
teachers mag.
Objects in the
background are
irrelevant and not
meant to be there.
The background also
shows that the
camera was not
level. The DPS photo
has letters in the
background, leading
again to a school
mag.
Photos do not seem
to be cropped to fi
the page, they all
have cluttered
backgrounds in, and
no editing seems to
have taken pace.

Some text links to

music, very basic
text used. Some
links to gossip, like a
closer magazine.
Text is all different
colours, no
consistent theme.
Font is the same o
the cover, minimal

for the task set

Title is bigger than

the rest of text, to
make it stand out.
Other than that,
knowledge is basic.
No real ICT
knowledge has been
shown; images see
to have just been
put on the page. DPS
image looks stretch
out of proportion. No
real use of ICT.

Summary Comment: Overall this is a poor music magazine. The photos

are not good quality, the fashion isnt correct, the text is not lined up
correctly and it all looks very unprofessional. The magazine does not
meet the common features of a pop magazine like billboard, the
magazine is very childish and the photos back up this point as they
seem to have been taken in a primary school or nursery.
