should use a best fit model, this means that you take an overall view rather than
harshly penalising for one fault. Use the space provided to give specific examples
and write a summary comment at the bottom of the page. You are examining the

Summary Comment
I marked this magazine too harshly as it is actually level 3. However I realise now that it did
tick the correct boxes and did the things that the exam board like. For example, multiple
images and busy covers.

I marked this magazine slightly too harsh as it reached level 3. I realise now that it does
deserve level 3 especially because of the amount of images used and the bust style to it.

Summary Comment
This magazine received level 3, therefore I was correct mostly with my marking. I can see
now why it might not reach level 4, its professional but not quite excellent, especially the
layout of the images.

Summary Comment
I marked this magazine too highly as it actually only reached level 1. I realise now that the
overall magazine is very basic and doesnt have a structure to it. There arent enough
images and the fonts dont link together well. The text layout on the double page hasnt
been done well as some of the text go over the box that they are meant to be in.
