Magazines assessment: Learner response

1) Type up your feedback in full (you don't need to write the mark and grade if you want to keep this confidential).

WWW: Some lovely analysis of the front cover using the conventions as evidence.

EBI: You need to use media terminology consistently and pick the most interesting aspects of a magazine's design that allows you to say the most - e.g the masthead.

For Q3, you missed out achieving a higher mark as you didn't quite explore what the values are - appearances are important etc.

2) Read the mark scheme for this assessment carefully, write down the mark you achieved for each question:

Q1: 2/2
Q2: 5/12
Q3: 3/8

3) Did you get any media terminology wrong in the assessment? Make a note of it here for future revision:

No, I did not get any media terminology wrong in this assessment.

4) Look specifically at question 2 - pick out three points from the mark scheme that you didn't include in your analysis of the unseen Grazia magazine cover.


  •  Media terminology
  • I could've spoken more about the main image 
  • I could've spoken more about typography 


5) Now look at question 3. Use the mark scheme to identify three points you could have made regarding how Tatler reflects British social and cultural values.

  • The lady's makeup - this would suggest that people value the idea of being beautiful.
  • The title shows us that the readers want to know about what's going on in people's lives as it refers to the word ' tattle ' 
  • The cover line 'James Corden and his LA lifestyle (with his aristo buddies) ' shows us that the readers value importance and wealth.
