Don't Panic final crit









What concept/statement/fact/question/tone is being communicated?

Glamorously evil. The fact that this magazine comes across with beautiful, thin people, but gives a false image to the younger generation on natural beauty and how they should look and dress.

Is this being communicated effectively?

I think I have communicated this effectively as i have drawn a glamorously evil face. the face shape and hair are meant to look like perfection and evil eyes and mouth have been added in a glamours way.

Have the posters answered the brief?

I think I have answered the brief I have set and have created something that looks fashionable and glamorous with an evil side to it.

Who is the audience - have they been addressed?

The audience is students and I think the image i have created is modern and young. I think girls and guys would like this image.
The haven't really been addressed as it doesn't relate to student life.However the evil part could link to the expense on item in vogue and how student cant afford to buy them.

Colours and illustration skill. Posistion of the face.

What could be developed further?

type could be added.Background colour.
