Evaluation






































I think that my presentation went good, however I missed out some key points while presenting my evaluation. I had the information, but wasnt able to say it, otherwise I think it went fine.

My Iconography


Test Shots


I took a variety of shots for my magazine. I got my model to pose in different poses. The top line are other shots that I took for the magazine and the bottom line are the shots that I actually decided to use for my final. I chose these shots as they protrayed my Hip Hop genre the best. The model has a straight, serious face and he hands are positioned in a way that is commonly seen in Hip Hop magazines. The model is wearing hoody, big earrings and a big silver chain, which are again a common convention used.

Picture for Interview Page


I used this picture for my final contents page as I needed 4 different photos and did not have four. I chose this photo as it again best represented my Hip Hop music genre, by the way she is sitting and her hands and positioned.

Final Name For Magazine

After playing around with many different names and experimenting, I chose the name " Un-Wiind" for the final name for my magzine. I had a lot of choices that I could choose from, however I thought Un-Wiind best represented my Hip Hop genre and would attract to my target audience. I first wrote the name as "Unwind" however, later on changed it to " Un-Wiind." I added the dash and the two i's, as I thought it created a different effect to the title, make it recognisable and to create it's own identity.

Possible Magazine Names

These were possible names for my music magazine that I came up with as they best suited my music genre :

  • Un-wiind
  • Vibes
  • Pulse
  • Ease
  • Upbeat
  • OnBeat
  • Rythmatic
  • FWD
  • Replay


I annotated other coventions that famous magazines had used to find out what were the most popular types of things included and also helped me in my reseach in order to be able to produce a successful magazine.
