LO4: Review Of Assets

 For this photo I believe my strengths are the clothing that is being worn in this photo. The use of the hat and the bright orange coat. This type of clothing is worn by many people who are the demographic for ALT magazine. An improvement I need to think about is the exposure of the photo as the models seem abit paler than usual.

 A strength I believe I have done is the poses I have instructed the models to do. As the magazine is a serious magazine because the genre is directed to young adults the poses are relevant to it. An improvement I would suggest if the fact that the photo is landscape when it should be portrait. Also the 3rd model is not looking at the camera this connoting awkwardness.

In this photo, one strength I would suggest is the emotion is portrayed through this photo. This is done by getting a mid action shot which I got. A improvement I would suggest is the fact that there is a woman in the background that doesn't really fit the genre. I think also there is parts of the photo not in full focus.

 This page graphic strength would be the showing off of the housestyle and the clear simple design of the page number. An improvement would be changing the colours to add variety. I believe the design too basic. I think the number should be bolder so it can be more readable.

This DPS headline strengths can be the unique design. This design connotes the importance of the band as it has got a specialist design that connotes the rough genre. An improvement that I can find is maybe the colour is too red and could be different colours. In my opinion the colour is too red as it may not be able to be that readable.

This graphic is the contents page indicator of what is happening in this issue. A Strength I believe it has is the yellow colour as it can connote danger as the yellow is linked with police tape connoting bad attitude. A improvement would be the spacing as I believe the spacing of the letters are too big making the font too big. 

My Masthead is influenced by the magazine Q, I believe this is a strength as my masthead looks professional and shows clearly the housestyle colours of my magazine. An improvement would be size of the masthead as I believe a rectangle design gives off a more masthead look. I also believe the word is too small as the square to word ratio is to much in square's favour. This not being good promotionally as the brand of Alt is not clear.

 This graphic is my sell line for content within the magazine. I made this graphic using the shape tool on photoshop. I also used the layer style tool to create a thick black stroke around the circle. One strength for this graphic would be the size of the graphic because it is big enough to be seen but not too big to overpower the page. An improvement will be the black stroke. This is because it blends in with the photo.

 This is a lower sell line of the famous names that can be linked with this magazine. These names are deliberately part of the magazine genre.  This being appropriate advertising of the genre of the magazine. One strange is the colour pattern. I believe the colour patterns visually satisfying. One improvement would be the spacing of the words. In my opinion the spacing is uneven, thus being incorrect.
