This document evaluates Faye Martin's Q9 Print project, which involved creating the front page, contents page, and a double page spread for a new music magazine. The evaluation addresses how the media product used conventions from real magazines, such as including a masthead, coverlines, barcodes, and celebrity images. It also discusses how the project represented various social groups through demographics like age, gender, and income. Finally, the evaluation examines what was learned throughout the process, from refining the publisher, images, and fonts to mastering skills in Photoshop and incorporating industry codes and conventions into the final product.
