AS Reflection

Strengths

- The font of the masthead is suitable for the genre as it is commonly used within it and this allows for it to be recognised by the target audience.

- I used yellow, red and black as they are colours that contrast each other and make the cover stand out, they are also colours typical of the genre.

- The sub image is made with a yellow background that connects it to the story and makes it look professional.

- I edited the main image so that it did not have any sharp edges and it had a ghosted effect behind the main text.

- I made the contents page with a simple and organised layout so that it was easy as possible for the readers to find what they want.

- On the DPS I used white text on the dark background so that it was easy to read, I used red for the title and the questions so that it fit in with the house style and had the main image looking at the text so that it suggested the reader should too.

Weaknesses

- There is a lot of blank space on the cover.

- The main story has gaps between the band name and the text on yellow.

- The images on the contents page are not very good quality and could have been improved.

- the main image could be more interesting than it is. 

Skills
- Through the year I have developed many skills including Photoshop, Blogger and Powtoon.
- On Photoshop I learned a lot of new skills, I learned to edit pictures well and make them look professional and smooth the image.
- I learned how to use Blogger to create my AS blog as well as this one and learned to edit the layout and design to get the colours right and make it look good.
- I learned to use Powtoon to make creative presentations that stand out and have an interactive element.
