1. Looking back at your preliminary
task, what do feel you have learnt
in the progression from it to the
full production.
2. Looking back at my preliminary task I know I have made vast
improvements. I have improved my skills and techniques on photoshop
for instance changing the effect of a picture. Also taking my original
image and cutting out the background. For instance the images below.
This was all done on photoshop.
4. This is my first attempt of a magazine and as
you can see it doesn’t look professional. This
magazine doesn’t have a cover line which is
suppose to tells me the main cause and
intensions of the magazine. This school
magazine may be faded into the background
because of the distraction of the eyes of my
model. This is because it isnt piercing and
directly looking at the readers which other
magazines seem to do. For my school
magazine there wasn’t much planning and
research done, which is why it doesn’t look
professional. Also my front cover consists of
different colour which isn’t complementing.
However this magazine shows the skills I am
capable of doing. For instance integrated text
around a picture, adding images, the use
different colours, using different colours.

5. However comparing my music magazine to my
school magazine, my music magazine looks
professional. Unlike my school magazine my
music magazine has a cover line. The piercing
eyes of my model will attract my audience
because, the eyes are directly looking at you.
My mast head typography that I used was from
dafont which is a font website that I grew to
learn how to use. Also for my music magazine
there was research and a lot of planning. As
you can during my project you can see my
planning for my music magazine.

6. This is my contents page for my school magazine.
As you can see it looks quite childish due to the
different colours used. The reason I tilted the
images I have is because, leaving them straight
gives the contents page a flat outlook. In the
images I have used it shows that I have an idea of
how to cut out the background of an image.
7. My contents page side colour banner is
different from other magazines I have
seen. This is due to the effect of the
diagonal outlook as well as the colour I
used. Also the image at the bottom being
slanted and edited looks interesting and
make you want to know what the image
signifies. The effect of the top blurry
banner make you want to concentrate on
what the picture is about. On the review
box you can see a microphone at the top
corner, I did this by manipulating my
masthead and extracting the microphone
and inserting there. This was done on
photoshop.
8. My double page spread was created on indesign and indesign helped me to
structure and layout what I wanted my pages to look like. This was done by
creating columns. The uses of the columns assisted me to write my interview in
an organised straight line. My final production for my double page spread looks
professional and well thought about.
Final
This is the transformation I did on
indesign to improve my double page
spread. I decided to change my
double page spread background
colour because the grey colour
looked dark and wasn’t
complementing the coloours I chose.
9. Overall I believe I did well and better in my music magazine. This is because of the
research and planning that I had done. Also being different by changing the effect of
my front cover gave my magazine a unique out look. On my contents page I had a
mixture of black and white images as well as normal effect images. Photoshop was a
crucial software for the final production for my music magazine.
