3. Throughout this course I have increased my skills through all
the software I used, with Photoshop I feel more confident in
editing my magazine but also the changing of the layout of my
contents page/front cover.
I feel Prezi helped me to present my evaluation and show
different ways of presenting my work ,Prezi is easy to use and
makes your work look professional and also easier to read.
Blogger was also a big help in tracking my progress
throughout the making of my magazine, it meant that me or
whoever looked at my Blog knew exactly what stage of
production I was up to. As well as being an easy way of
tracking my progress.
PowerPoint was another big help in making of my evaluation, I
like using PowerPoint as I have used it for a while, meaning all
the features and skills used to make a PowerPoint
presentation were very familiar to me. Allowing me to
complete my work speedily and efficiently.
4. I chose to do an R&B style magazine as I didn’t think there was
many of those on the market therefore making a big space for a
new branded magazine such as mine to be brought in.
It took me a while to decide what kind of double page spread I
was going to do until I eventually decided on an interview with
the rapper ‘Drake’. I felt as though this would be beneficial to my
audience and would make sense in the styling and the way my
magazine was set out and made.
5. The evaluation for my magazine was made out of different questions in which
we chose how to set out and how to answer, using different forms and
technologies in order to make the evaluation look more professional and
interesting.
I chose to use Prezi, which helped me present some of my evaluation questions
in a brighter and more interactive way, but I also chose to present some through
PowerPoint meaning that the longer questions could be taken into more depth
throughout the sections.
Overall I think my evaluation could have been developed more to include a lot
more of the points that at the beginning I had wanted to put in, however I ran
out of time to make the final adjustments like I had originally intended to.
6. In order to keep my files and pictures in order throughout this process, I
purchased a memory stick in which I put all of my work on.
I also made sure my documents were clearly organised keeping the film studies
section and my magazine production separate from each other, this clear
marking of folders meant that I knew which pieces of work was which and also
how long I would have before I needed to move onto my next work.
