My peer assessor gave my front cover a level 3. He thought that I exceeded inshowing an understanding of the conventions of layout and page design.However, he believed I was weak on using IC appropriately for the task andmanipulating photographs as appropriate to the context of presentation. I agree,with this, in self!assessment, I would say that I used appropriate text si"es, suchas having a large splash and masthead# whilst having smaller cover!lines. I also

felt that I performed well in understanding the conventions of the layout of aschool maga"ine in research and then I felt able to implement this into my frontcover. $lthough, I can recognise that I was weak in manipulating photography tobe appropriate for the tasks. his is because I took the picture from too far away,therefore, to try to %x this, I cropped and enlarged the picture in order to get aclearer view of the persons face in the picture. his resulted in greatly reducingthe &uality of the image and therefore making the maga"ine appear un!professional. $lso, I agree with the fact that I did not use IC appropriately for thetask as I did not overlap any of my layers, which is a convention of a maga"ine,this also made it look un!professional and dis'ointed.

My second peer assessor also gave my front cover a level 3.(ike the %rst peer assessor, he believed my strengths were that I understood the

conventions of the layout of a maga"ine and that I used appropriate and e)ectivetext si"ed. He also emphasised my weakness in using IC appropriately for thetask, but also integrating illustration and text. I think the latter is another downfallof my front cover as the lack of overlapping between images and illustratedopposed a key convention of maga"ines andmade it appear dis'ointed and conse&uently un!professional.
