2. The task

4. Front cover.
• Masthead -My masthead was FSL which means Fallibroome sixth
learning. I used a serif font, size 30 with a green colour that relates to the
colours of the school.
• Key image - The shot size is a long/medium shot .The image was
taken in the studio but I cut out the image and put it on a blank
background. I used high key lighting. I did not have an appropriate
photograph so I used a photo that would be appropriate for my music
magazine.
• Key cover line - The key cover line helps to anchor the image as
the costume is relevant to the genre of music in the cover line which is
grime.
5. • Language - The language used is formal as the point of the
magazine is mainly to inform.
• Other features - My cover lines use a hierarchy of font size and
mainly follows and green and black colour scheme apart from the blue
circles which are used to make the other cover lines stand out.

7. Contents page.
• Brand identity - I have repeated the FSL on the contents page.
Also the contents page uses the same colour scheme.
• Layout - The contents page is set in columns followed by images to
the side.
• Text - The text is all in san serif font and follows a hierarchy of font
sizes.
• Images – I have used three images, firstly an image of the interview
(Key cover line). An image from one of my feature articles and an image of
Fallibroomes 6th form centre.
9. Construction.
• What Worked Well -
• Logo/masthead stands out.
• Colour scheme.
• Circles stand out.
• Even Better If -
• Change info on menu script.
• Centre text in circles.
• Make text easier to read.
10. Using Photoshop.
• I found the process of using Photoshop fairly
easy the only thing I found difficult was
copying the image into my front cover work. I
changed the sizes of the blue circles so they
would fit better. The tools I used were the
crop tool and the shapes tool. I could
overcome some issues by looking at tutorials
to seethe correct way on how to do them.
11. Audience feedback.
• WWW
• Logo stands out.
• Relevant image.
• Circles stand out.
• EBI
• Text in the centre of circle.
• Different coloured circles.
• Better range of fonts.
12. Key learning points.
• I have learnt that I need to learn how to use
more tools on Photoshop.
• I will need more images.
• To find a better colour scheme that is relevant
to the topic.
