Question 7
For their preliminary task, the author created a student magazine for their college. They learned they lacked skills in programs like InDesign and blogger. Their biggest weakness was not knowing how to use InDesign. Through creating the magazines, they learned to use InDesign and other programs. They improved at tasks like scanning images and layout. Their music magazine showed advancement over the student magazine in layout, with varied text sizes, colors, and angles making the cover more engaging.
Question 7
The author reflects on improvements between their initial school magazine project and subsequent music magazine. For the school magazine, they were still learning the software and it showed with a bare cover lacking information, contents page with much white space and little detail, and dull overall design. For the music magazine, they applied what they learned and it shows with a colorful, busy cover; well-laid out contents page with location diagrams; and double page spread using layers and colors effectively like a real magazine. The author sees significant progress in their design skills and abilities.
Preliminary Task
The student was assigned to create the front cover and contents page of a school magazine using Photoshop. To complete this, the student plans to research conventions of school magazines, conduct audience research by surveying students, and analyze a previous student's school magazine work. The student will use this research to inform the design of their own school magazine cover and contents page, which will feature required elements like a student photo and article headings. The student reflected that their contents page design could be improved but that the preliminary task helped develop their Photoshop skills.

The student describes their process for designing the draft magazine pages in Photoshop, including incorporating ideas from hand-drawn drafts and adding images and design elements to improve the initial designs.
The process of making my school magazine,
The student first took pictures around the school for the front cover and contents page of the school magazine after getting permission. They then uploaded the pictures and began designing the front cover and contents page in Photoshop. The student made the front cover images larger to fit the screen, created a masthead with individual shading and color, added the main cover line in an adjusted size and color to attract readers. Further cover lines were framed around the images without covering faces, and the website was added last following magazine cover conventions.
Task 8 evaluation
The document summarizes feedback received on a student magazine project. The feedback was mostly positive, praising the use of color and clear images. However, some text was difficult to read and there was too much empty white space in areas. The student will aim to improve readability of text and reduce unnecessary white space in future projects.
Feedback and Evaluation
The student created a magazine cover for a school publication about starting 6th form. They received positive feedback on the use of color, realistic images, and readable fonts. Negative feedback suggested adding a selling line, making the heading and main cover line stand out more.

By the end, the student felt confident using Photoshop's tools and helping others. They also used Publisher to lay out magazine pages but felt they progressed more in Photoshop.
School magazine evaluation
The document summarizes the student's process of creating a school magazine as a media product. Some key points:
- The magazine includes conventions of real magazines like mastheads and cover lines, but not things like barcodes and prices since it's a school magazine not produced for profit.
- The content and images are tailored to the target audience of students aged 11-16, including topics related to school life.
- Distribution would be within the school to students, teachers, and parents through students.
- Creating a questionnaire helped identify what the target audience wanted to see.
- Learning experiences included using InDesign software, improving image selection, and realizing multiple fonts are typically used.
Question 7
LOOKING BACK AT YOUR PRELIMINARY TASK, WHAT DO YOU FEEL YOU HAVE LEARNT IN THE PROGRESSION FROM IT TO THE FULL PRODUCT.
question 7
The document discusses the progression of skills and learning from an initial preliminary magazine assignment in college to a full magazine product. For the preliminary assignment, the author had no experience with design software like Photoshop and InDesign. The preliminary magazine had low quality photos and design. However, for the full magazine, the author's skills with design software improved greatly and they were able to fully utilize tools like image manipulation and application of industry techniques. This resulted in a higher quality product that received positive feedback, showing the extensive learning and improvement throughout the process.
Question 7
The document discusses the learning process of creating a preliminary magazine page and then a final magazine product. For the preliminary task, the author created a front cover and contents page but noted many areas for improvement, such as using brighter colors and fonts that did not stand out well. When creating the final product, the author applied lessons from the preliminary task by using bolder fonts, higher quality images, and a layout informed by researching real magazines. The author also learned to make the magazine appeal to both male and female readers. Overall, the process helped the author develop new skills in Photoshop, research, and magazine design to produce a more polished final product.
Question 7 what i've learnt from preliminary task
The document discusses what the author learned from creating two magazines - a college magazine and a music magazine. Some of the key lessons learned include:
1) Creating a plan first leads to a more professional-looking final product compared to thinking of ideas on the spot.
2) Removing backgrounds from images and experimenting with fonts, drop shadows, and effects helps elements like mastheads stand out.
3) Different target audiences must be considered for different magazine topics.
4) Filling all page space, adding borders around images, and including branding elements like mastheads on all pages improves appearance and readability.
5) Writing articles before layout and using design elements like drop caps and pull quotes enhances
Prelim
The student created flat plans for the front cover and contents page with banners, logos, and placeholder images. Feedback noted the color scheme gave a professional look. For the final product, the student changed backgrounds to black and white with color logos and added a student reflection on the front cover not in the flat plan. The contents page matched the flat plan but added a photo of the school head to introduce the magazine. The student felt the final magazine was professional like others on the market.
Question 7
The student learned significant Photoshop skills over the course of creating preliminary and final covers, contents pages, and a double-page spread for a school and music magazine. For the preliminary covers, the student struggled with layout and design elements. However, skills improved for the final projects, where the student was able to incorporate more sophisticated design features like varied box sizes and a yellow highlight circle. The student felt most successful with the final contents page and double-page spread, applying skills like two-column layout, balanced use of images and text, and a creative quarter-circle graphic. Overall, the student saw a "massive improvement" and was happy with applying learned Photoshop techniques, while also identifying further learning opportunities.

Question seven
- 1. QUESTION SEVEN Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
- 2. Back to schoolNow looking back at my school magazine front cover, I have only just realised how much I have improved since I've looked back. I think I have done a much better job with using techniques that I know now. The text is very plain with a dull background which means they don’t pop out enough. I still quite like how I have edited the photo, however I do find it a bit too dark and boring pose. Although this is the first time using this soft wear I believe I have made a good first attempt of a magazine cover.
- 3. Back to school The same with my contents page: If I had the techniques back then I would have created something to standard with my music magazine contents page. The layout of this look ok but also looks childish at the same time. This means it has this non professional, making it look bad. An example of this is that I have taken the photo in a landscape view rather than portrait, this cause me to stretch the photo cause it to look bad. However with the new stills and techniques I have acquired I wouldn’t make a silly mistake like that again.
- 4. With direct compassion, you can see just how much I have progress I have made. I have kept some similar features such as having one main images, the positioning of most of the text. However I have used many more techniques such as replace colour and used the liquefy tool. Also I have used the brightens tool to make it look like my music magazine has a spot light on him. With both of the cover pages I have readable and well spaced out text. Front covers: Here I have included special events which are happening and lots of stuff on my cover to make this look busy and interesting. Unlike my school magazine , the title has a unique look( the brand is what differentiates the magazine) My music magazine ‘Triplemmm’ ,looks very interesting and professional. Since my school magazine I have learnt how ton make text bold with the stroke tool and also how to use several layers to make the composition fun and more appealing to my target audience. The layout of the magazine is simple and easily to read as I found out this is what my target audience wants in my background research.
- 5. Contents pages:Again, seeking these two next to one another allows me to see the mature and unique progression I have made. I have changed the layout quite a lot but still have the main single figure, showing the main story. My school magazine looks very boring and generic. I have barely edited the main image and only played around with the text, also the background is slightly blurry due to me taking a landscape photo not portrait. As you can see the title of my music magazine looks more attention- grabbing than my school magazine, this is because my music magazine title stands out and contrast the background colour where as on my school magazine I have a green title with a green background which doesn’t contrast each other Unlike the school contents page I have used layers! This has allowed me to make exciting contents page which would interest my target audience, 18-24 year olds. Despite only have one main picture I think this makes it easier for my target audience to establish what the main story is as this is the main image. I have used other images to advertised the rest of my magazine. These are smaller images because they aren’t the main story.
- 6. How these improvements have affected the outcome of my double page spread As I created my double page spread last, I have knowledge since designing my school mag’s FC. This has allowed me to make the most dynamic and creative piece of work. With the use of Photoshop Cs6 and Adobe InDesign I have made a simple but yet sophisticated and eye catching double spread which is ideal for my target audience 18-24 year olds. I designed my double page spread like this because this is a simple layout which isn’t over created, allowing the audience to read the main story and enjoy it. I have used a similar colour theme through my music magazine of black; red and white.
- 7. To conclude… On the whole I have learnt how to properly use software such as Photoshop and InDesign. Also I have progressed in the way I use the effects to convey my work. I have personally think that my designs have matured and become more distinctive than the generic music magazine. This is because of the target market I am aiming my magazine at, no one else has targeted them given me a niche market. In addition I have used many other technologies ( which I have never used before) to present my evaluations.
