Magazines: Front cover production task - learner response

1) Add your finished magazine cover as a JPEG image.

2) Type up your feedback from your teacher. If you've received this by email, you can copy and paste it across - WWW and EBIs. You don't need to include a mark or grade if you don't want to.
WWW: Well chosen image. Good vocab in cover lines- well written . Masthead spot on.
EBI: Cropping/focus change. Blurred image- poor quality. No clip out images. More text + different sizing/styles.
8/15 Level 3

3) Consider your mark against the mark scheme above. What are the strengths of your production based on the the mark scheme? Think about magazine cover conventions and the media language techniques you have used to communicate with your audience (e.g. mise-en-scene, camera shot etc.)
Well placed medium shot of the cover model. Good use of sports clothing fits the theme well.

4) Look at the mark scheme again. What can you do to move your mark higher and, if required, move up a level?
Get rid of the clip out images, add more variety to the text (size, font and context).

5) What would be one piece of advice you would give a student about to start the same magazine cover project you have just completed? 
Have a high quality cover image and don't let it be blurred or cropped poorly.

No sooner had it released its fantastic 2017 open-world role-playing game Horizon Zero Dawn than it was overshadowed by Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which launched a week later and turned out to be an all-time gaming great. Now just as it delivers an excellent sequel, Horizon Forbidden West, another phenomenon arrives on its heels to suck away all the oxygen, Elden Ring. Poor Guerrilla, a team of superb developers with a serious case of bad timing. 2) What is the narrative for the original game Horizon Zero Dawn?  The games take place a thousand years after rampaging machines have wiped out most of humanity. Survivors have clustered into tribal communities who view relics of
