Summary Comment

The Magazine cover appears cluttered with a mismatched array of differing font sizes. The
unconventional contents page is very easy to understand and well lay out.

Summary Comment

I feel the photographs used are a good attempt at composition yet not very varied in
contents. The images however are appropriate for the magazine.

Summary Comment

This follows all of the genre conventions for a Rock music magazine. It shows a
proficiency in layout and composition however there is a large use of stock images.

Summary Comment

The images are cluttered and at some times with no relation to the dubstep theme of the
magazine. The poor framing on the images also makes the magazine quite confusing to
navigate.

Summary Comment

I really like the vibrancy of the images in this magazine with nice text blocking and a
creative use of space. I do however feel this would be improved with the use of his own
photos as it is hard to give marks for framing and composition of a photo he did not take
himself.

Summary Comment

I think that my black and white theme in my magazine has caused a lack of mise-en-scene
as colour cannot be analysed as thoroughly as usual there is also a lack of blocking in my
cover photo. I feel that my contents page is to busy and looks cluttered as a result
