3. • In my preliminary task I didn’t have a very good understanding of how
InDesign or Photoshop worked. I also hadn’t done any research in to what
existing magazines looked like. This is show as my first magazine cover was
quite dull and also some of the text wasn’t lined up.
• In my new front cover a dramatic difference can be seen. This is because it is
a lot more busy and not as dull. Also all the text lines up. I also had gained
experience on InDesign and Photoshop which allowed the photo to look more
professional. I also did some research into existing front covers from a music
magazine which helped me develop mine and make it more professional
looking.
FRONT COVER
5. CONTENTS PAGE
In my preliminary task of the school magazine my contents page was very
plain. This was mainly because I used a white background and there wasn’t
much text. Also, I only had one picture which didn’t make the page look
busy and attract readers.
My new music magazine contents page has changed dramatically as,
although there is still a white background there are lots of coloured boxes
and different coloured writing which helps attract the reader. I also used
more images to help fill the page up and make it a lot busier.
When making my new music magazine contents page, I used columns to
make sure that my page was evenly split and to make sure that every thing
was inline which gave it a more professional look.
7. • In my preliminary task of my school magazine I didn’t make a double page
spread. This meant that it was the first time of me making one when making
my music magazine. However, I did some research to what is normally
included in double page spreads. I found this task fairly easy as it was mostly
text, but I had to fill in gaps and make it look like a real music magazine. One
way I did this was wrapping text to go around the circle in the middle of the
page.
