Framing a shot,
including and excluding
elements as
appropriate
XThe creator has used the
image on their front cover as
their CVI. Her eyes will draw in
readers. The contents page uses
boosts in order to split up textand images. The double page
spread also uses CVI again. It
also uses smaller images to
ensure there is not any negative
space.
Using a variety of shot
distances as
appropriate
XThe creator has used a
variety of shot distances.
The creator has used a mid
shot on the magazine cover.
On the contents page, the
creator has also used mid
shots again of a variety of
people. This keeps readersinterested. Lastly, the
double page spread also
consists of mid shots.
Shooting material
appropriate to the task
set
XThe creator has taken
images of people in order to
ensure their magazine features
artists from the genre they are
trying to achieve. The front
cover image identifies who is
mainly included in the
magazine. Using other images
of people on the contents page
allows readers to identify thatthe magazine does not only
include information on the
artist on the front cover. The
images on the double page
spread tell readers whom the
article is about.
Selecting mise-en-
scne including colour,
figure, lighting, objects
and setting
XThe creator has considered
mise-en-scene throughout. The
setting of the image on the
cover is effective because its
basic therefore goes well with
her colour scheme. The models
outfit is black and her lipstick is
red which goes with her colour

scheme. Her figure is
appropriate because it fits the
whole page, avoiding negative
space. The lighting is natural
which is effective because it
brings out the models features,
drawing the readers in. Herbody language suggests she is
reaching out to readers.
Images on the contents page
are effective. A variety of colour
on the images makes them
stand out against each other.
The colours also go well with
the colour scheme. Their figures
are appealing because all of the
images look welcoming and
confident. The lighting varies.
Some images are clearer than
others which are unfortunatee.g. The middle black and white
image is not as clear as the
others. Objects such as the
guitar in the last image on the
contents page are effective as it
highlights the magazine is based
on music. The settings of the
images are pretty basic which
go well with the theme of the
magazine.
The double page spread images
are effective because they have
used natural lighting. They
ensure the artist(s) are clear.
The figures of the images fill the
first page of the double page
spread, ensuring that there is
no negative space. The colours
on the images are white, which
compliments the page well.
Manipulating
photographs as
appropriate to the
context for
presentation, including
cropping and resizing
XThe creator has edited
the image on the double
page spread lighter to
ensure her features come
up clearer.
The images on the double
page spread have been
edited. The 1st
and 3rd
photo
have been made black and
white to create a contrast
with the other images. The
images have clearly been
airbrushed because the
models look flawless in an
obvious way. The images
have been cropped in orderto fit well on the page.
The images on the double
-

AS Print Level Descriptors Level awarded
page spread have also been
airbrushed and cropped in
order to fit on the page. The
use of black and white has
been used to contrast with
the coloured images.
Accurately usinglanguage and register
XThe language used in thismagazine is both formal and
informal. This ensures it hits a
wider target audience, as many
audiences will appeal to this
language.
Appropriately
integrating illustration
and text
XThe illustration has been
used effectively to provide an
organised layout. They do not
overlap.
Showing
understanding of
conventions of layout
and page design
XThe magazine supplies a
variety of mastheads,
headlines and fillers for a
consistent and organised
layout.
Showing awareness of
the need for variety in
fonts and text size
XThe magazine uses
mastheads and headlines in a
large font to get their top
stories across. It uses smaller
text to ensure important
information is still shown.
Using ICT appropriately
for the task set
XThe creator has clearly
researched magazines well as
this looks like a professional
magazine. They have
researched well-known artists
to ensure their magazine looks
real.
Summary Comment
I believe this magazine is level 4 because they have paid attention to detail and ensured that their magazine is full of
information, images, shapes, colour etc. To keep readers busy. The colour scheme is effective as its simplistic and
appealing. To improve, the creator could give us more of a hint of what genre their magazine is. The images are
presented well in order to fill negative space and the models are appealing.

Framing a shot,
including and excluding
elements as
appropriate
XThe creator has
taken mid shots to
ensure every model
is shown clearly
throughout. The
creator has used
one image on their
front cover to
create a CVI. On
their contents
page, they have
used three images
to spread out on
the page.Using just two
images on the
double page spread
is not effective
because they are
small and are
difficult to see.
Using a variety of shot
distances as
appropriate
X - The images
taken are only using
mid/ long shots. It
is difficult to see
the models onmany of them
which is negative
because they
should draw the
readers in.
Shooting material
appropriate to the task
set
X - The majority of
the images taken
on the magazine
are effective as the
models are dressed
and look like they
fit the genre of the
magazine.However, some are
not dressed
appropriately
therefore do not fit
the idealised
stereotype of the
magazine.
Selecting mise-en-

figure, lighting, objects
and setting
X - The image on
the double page
spread is effective.
The colours are

background. The
image fits the
whole page.
Natural lighting is
used to ensure we
can see the models
features. Thesetting of the
image goes well
with the genre of
the magazine.
The images on the
contents page are
average. The
colours are
dissatisfying
because they do
not go with the
colour scheme. 2/3
images are noteffective because
the models are not
wearing outfits that
go with the genre
of the magazine.
The setting where
the images were
taken is not
effective because
they are irrelevant
to the magazine.
The double page
spread images are
average. The
lighting and setting
allows readers to
view the images
clearly
Manipulating
photographs as
appropriate to the
context for
presentation, including
cropping and resizing
X - The creator has
stretched images,
which do not look
professional, and
some images have
been cropped to fit
on the page.
Accurately using
language and register
XThe magazine
language is mainly
too informal. It is
not appealing.
Appropriately
integrating illustration
and text
X -The text overlaps
or underlays some
of the images which
is difficult to see.
The creator has not
worked around
them.

basic. It is easily
viewed. The
contents page is
also basic however
they have not put a
lot of thought to
how it can beaesthetically
pleasing. The
double page spread
is negative. It is
complicated and
unorganised. The
writing is not in
neat columns.
Showing awareness of
the need for variety in
fonts and text size
X - They have used
font sizes to ensure
there is no negative
space. The use of
text size highlightsthe order of
importance the
writing goes in e.g.
GHR is obviously
the title therefore
they want readers
to recognise this.
Unfortunately, the
headline on the
double page spread
needs to be bigger
to ensure it is an
important part of
the page. The
graffiti-like font
goes well with the
genre of the
magazine.
Using ICT appropriately
for the task set
X - The creator has
added many
techniques to hit a
specific grade such
as colour, fonts,
images, layout etc.
Summary Comment
Overall, this magazine needs improving. I believe it is a level 2 maximum. Although they have highlighted the
amount of techniques they have used and achieved, it is too unorganised and over the top. The creator is attempting
to achieve something too over exaggerated. As a reader, the magazine is not aesthetically pleasing and the creator
needs to take that into consideration.

provided a variety

however
sometimes not

as on the contents
page. The long
shots on this page
are difficult to see.

X - The models
chosen do not fit

first impression on
them is that they are
too hip-hop.
Selecting mise-en-

X - The colour of the
clothing used on the
models does not fit
well with the colour
theme of themagazine. The main
model fits the front
cover well as there
is no negative space
however the models
on the contents
page leave a lot of
negative space on
the page. The
lighting used on the
model on the front
cover and double
page spread worksbecause it brings out
the models features
however the images
on the contents
page have shadows
and cannot be
viewed easily. The
camera in the male
models hand is not
relevant to the
magazine. The
outfits used fit more
of a hip-hop genre.Manipulating X - A shadow on the

looks lightened than

language and register
X - The magazine
uses both formal
and informal
language. These
appeals to a wider
range of audiences.
It fits with the
genre.
Appropriately
integrating illustration
and text
X - The text mainly
does not overlap
however there are
some small details
which could bechanged in the
layout in order to
ensure a better
level of work e.g.
On the contents
page, the Editors
Note banner
overlaps the
writing below,
making it difficult
to read.
Showing
understanding of
conventions of layout
and page design
X - The layout is
effective however
it could be
improved to
ensure a better
grade.
Showing awareness of
the need for variety in
fonts and text size
X - The creator has
used a variety of
font sizes to
ensure there is no
negative space
and also to
highlight the most
important things.However the
magazine looks
too busy. There is
no variety in fonts.
Using ICT appropriately
for the task set
X - The creator has
used a basic amount
of software to get
the look created.
Summary Comment
I feel that this magazine is of level 2 standard. This is because they have not been creative enough to achieve a
better grade and also they have no achieved a professional look. It is at GCSE standard because it looks like it has
been created on publisher and they have not taken full advantage of what Photoshop has to offer.

they have been

that is has not been

layout is poor. The
columns appear
complicated and

Showing

X - The layout could
be improved to
look more creative
and appealing.
Showing awareness of
the need for variety in

X - The creator has
considered font
sizes in order to
achieve a look of
importance. Some
text could be made
larger to ensure
there is no negative
space.
Using ICT appropriately
for the task set
The use of ICT is
basic on this
magazine. They
have not taken ICT
applications to a
great advantage.
Summary Comment
Overall, I believe this magazine is a strong level 2. This is because they have not considered many things about their
chosen genre therefore nothing on the magazine relates to it e.g. Costume, models etc. The use of ICT has been
poor. It looks as if it was created on publisher. For a high grade, this student should have taken full advantage of ICT.

appealing indie styled magazine. He has considered mise en scene and researched effectively to achieve thislook. To improve, this student should pay more attention to the way text is set out.

I believe this student has achieved a level 3. This is because I really like their genre, layout and
overall idea. To improve, reconsider the model used. They do not fit the genre she is trying to
achieve.
