Preliminary task
The document describes the process of creating a practice magazine as preparation for a music magazine task. Key details include:
- The practice magazine was school-themed to match the creator's school colors and include realistic stories.
- Care was taken to make the magazine look professional while capturing the theme of being a student publication. This included the title "The Desk" and tagline "straight off the desk."
- Refinements were made based on analyzing other magazines, such as adding a cover image and adjusting content to seem relevant yet intriguing to students.
- Lessons were learned about layout, use of images, and conveying the intended tone that would be applied to the music magazine task.
Final evaluation
The student created magazine pages for a college assignment. They were happy with their cover page which included professional elements like a masthead, pull quotes and coverlines.

The contents page works due to following the front cover style, but the article font is difficult to read with many titles. Creating gradients and drop shadows were techniques learned.
Looking back at the preliminary product, what
The document discusses what the author learned from completing a preliminary magazine cover and contents page task that helped them improve their main magazine page task. Some key lessons included choosing color schemes that complement images, using varied font sizes to denote importance, including "star appeal" to attract readers, and organizing layers and naming them clearly in the software. Completing the preliminary task helped the author gain experience with the software and page layout before the main task.
College magazine evaluation
After producing their first college magazine, the author evaluates its strengths and weaknesses to improve their next music magazine. The front cover lacked color and had too much empty space. While the contents page used layout effectively with images on one side and text on the other, both pages had the same style and colors. For the next magazine, the author will add a colorful background, use more varied fonts and colors, and ensure the cover has less blank space by adding more headlines and captions around the central image.
Evaluation media as magazine project
The document provides an evaluation of a magazine cover and contents page design project. It discusses what works well, such as the color scheme and layout elements. It also notes aspects that could be improved, such as making text fonts and cover lines sizes more appealing.

However, certain tasks like planning the design were easy once the goals were determined. Overall, the document reflects on lessons learned about magazine design and production.
Evaluation question 7
The document discusses what the author learned from their preliminary school magazine task to their final product. Specifically:
1) The importance of images and mise-en-scene, as plain backgrounds and uncropped photos hurt the preliminary magazine. Styling models to match the genre improved the final product.
2) Directing skills improved from giving little direction initially to being more confident and getting better posed photos.
3) Choosing fonts, like a bold masthead, and positioning text professionally made the final product look more polished. Layout choices also helped elements stand out more.

Question7
The document reflects on improvements made from a preliminary magazine design task to the final product. For the cover, skills with Photoshop were improved, resulting in cleaner cropping and higher quality images. Audience research was also better incorporated, making the final cover more eye-catching with varied colors. The contents page was enhanced with a mix of images and text, gridlines, and manipulated photos. A double page spread proved most challenging but conventions from rock magazines, like fitting color schemes and using dark tones, were achieved.

Question 7
The document discusses the creation of a preliminary student magazine cover and contents page. It identifies areas for improvement, such as background selection, text legibility, and layout organization. These lessons were then applied to creating covers and contents pages for a music magazine called ULTRA POP. The music magazine demonstrated improvements in areas like photos, layout, typography, and color scheme choices compared to the preliminary work. Creating the preliminary work helped develop skills that were applied to the music magazine spreads.
Presentation 7
The document compares the author's preliminary and final magazine covers and contents pages. For the preliminary covers, the author was unaware of proper conventions and they lacked clear layout, with cover lines overlapping the main image on one. The final covers follow conventions like a masthead, cover lines, main image, and subheadings, and have improved layout with these elements clearly visible. Similarly, the preliminary contents page lacked text, images, colors, and appeal, while the final one includes these elements and subheadings for better layout and audience appeal.

Q7
- 1. In the prelim task, the masthead covered one of the clone’s head, which made the front cover look unprofessional, also the photos on the right hand side covered most of the model. In the main task, I learned that positioning the masthead and photos correctly on the page made it look more professional as you could see the model and the photo properly. FRONT PAGE 1
- 2. I also learned that if there is one person in the front page photo, it makes a greater impact on the viewer as it isn’t crowded. Also if the model on the front page is looking straight at the camera, it makes it seem as if he is looking at the viewer, making it more personal. The editing for the main task photos got better from the prelim task as it is bright and colourful to get the viewer’s attention. FRONT PAGE 2
- 3. In the prelim task, the contents page had a few blank spaces in it which I didn't think were important to fill. However, in the main task, it looked as if something was missing when we left blank spaces, so I filled them with text about the band or artist. Also the font of ‘contents’ was a bit random for our prelim task, so in the main task I made sure it followed the house style of the magazine. CONTENTS PAGE
- 4. In our prelim task, we didn’t make a double page spread for our student magazine. However, making the front page and contents page for the prelim task had prepared me to go a step further for the main task. I learnt that it is important to maintain a house style and follow it throughout the magazine. We put in the colourful element that is present in the magazine and incorporated it in the band that we were writing about. We also added the colourful lines in the middle of the page so that a viewer can recognise that it is taken form our magazine.
