Some ideas for improving your Evaluations

Having read several of your evaluations, there are a few things you might want to do to improve them

1) MAKE YOUR PREZI'S MORE VISUAL .... too many are very text heavy
i.e if you are commenting on target audience add a picture of who your TA is
(refer back to work you did in the R&P phase of the project)

If you are suggesting a publishing company, use their logo

If you are trying to show how similar or different your product is to existing products include picture of the FC's DPS, and contents pages of these other publications and compare your product with there product

2) CAPITALISE YOUR I's...... too many of you are making grammatical errors, re-read what you have written and make sure the basics are right!! capitalisation, spellings, sentence structure....... it does not make a good impression on the examiner if your work is littered with grammatical errors (the same goes for your blog entries)

3) EMBED YOUR LINKS......... I and nor does an examiner have the patience to copy and paste links to your work, all we want to do is click on a link and see your work!

4) USE MEDIA TERMINOLOGY....... have you used enough? when you comment on what you have done are you using the right language to describe the feature of your magazines? mastheads, straps, puffs,DPS etc

5)DISTRIBUTION........ when you are commenting on which companies publish your products, really think about WHY they would want to do this!! What does your product offer a publishing house that THERE EXISTING PORTFOLIO DOESN'T COVER!! Why would a publishing house who already own a magazine targeted at young women and pop, publish another magazine of the same genre? THINK ABOUT THE ECONOMICS OF HOW MAGS MAKE MONEY!!
