Peer and Self Assessment of Blog

As an exercise during one media lesson we were asked to peer assess everyone else's blogs. We then had to go around and write two positives and an improvement for each blog. My feedback was quite varied but overall quite pleasing to see, as the feedback was that my blog was quite engaging to the audience and my images that I have included are suited to the genre of the blog.

Some improvements included to possible add a little more detail on certain posts, to update my blog now that we are in 2015 and to add more time management posts.

If I was to self assess my blog I would say that I should update my blog more now that we are in the new year and that we have comeback from having two-three weeks off over the christmas period. However I feel like the posts prior to this are all up to scratch and include the correct amount of information needed for the certain posts.

Start of 2015 - Update

As we are now into the new year I thought it would be ideal to write a post based on the development of my magazine and ancillary tasks, and where they currently stand in terms of completion.

Front Page;

At the minute my front cover I feel is not far from from being complete, For example I feel like only a few variables of the front cover need changing, or slightly adjusting.

Contents Page;

Yet again, I feel like my contents page is also at the same stage of my front cover, however I feel like I may need to change the color of the editors note text back to white as I feel like the red doesn't make it stand out enough. Furthermore I feel like the Content Page's lay out is complete.

Double Page Spread;

I feel like there is nothing more to add, however the sizing of some text and the image may need altering to make the double page spread look more professional.

Billboard;

When creating the billboard I wanted it to be very simple, but effective so I chose to make it in black and white, By using the abstract image it makes the billboard stand out, due to the contrasting shapes which the shadows create.
