Research the following:
  • Who commissioned the programme?
  • Who produced it?
  • What audience is it aimed at? Why?

Magazine Evaluation (Year 11)


You need to answer the following questions in as much detail as possible. This is a very important part of this project.

Answer each question in as much detail as possible. Add examples from all parts of your work.
  • How effective was your research into similar magazines and relevant target audiences. What did you learn from your research into these two areas? In what ways did this shape the creation of your magazine?
  • What creative decisions did you have to make at the different stages of your magazine production? How did your magazine change as your work progressed?
  • How closely does your magazine follow the forms and conventions of existing magazines? Gives examples of real magazines you reference.
  • How successful is your finished magazine? What are its strengths and weaknesses?
Candidates offering a written commentary should aim to write between 500–800 words. 

Complete all work in PowerPoint and then add to your folder.
