Today i am showing you what i have done for question 6 of my evaluation. This question is about what i have learnt about technology from the process of constructing my magazine. So, what i talk about is the types of software's i have used whilst making the magazine. For example, Photoshop and InDesign.
However, i have also talked about the different parts of a camera and what they are used for. So on the second picture is the mode dial, and i have explained what each of the dials (that i used) do.
Hello, today i am going to be showing you my evaluation that i am currently doing. The deadline for this is next Tuesday, the 2nd May. I am focusing on question 1 at the minute (see below in the picture) and i have been going back to the beginning of my blogs to find my research about existing products to put into the powerpoint. I have been looking at the codes and conventions of an existing magazine front cover, then i will be doing the same for a double page spread, then i will do exactly the same but with my magazine. I will update you on what i'm doing later and how it turns out.
These are a few of the many photos i took for my music magazine. A lot of the other images i took are either slightly blurry or the person in the picture isn't co-operating and isn't doing what i want them to do.
I added another photo to my double page spread as there was just a block of writing and it didn't look appealing as I didn't think anyone would want to read it. So, by adding another photo to the corner, it's basically telling another story within the photo.
These are the images that I have photoshopped so that they have the correct colour background for my magazine. I don't have the original photos from the photoshoot but as soon as I do, I will upload them on my blog for you to see them. As I am showing you a closer version of what the photos look like in my contents page, I will eventually show you what my contents page looks like when it's completely finished.
I decided to add another line underneath the date as I think it looked more like something you would see in an actual music magazine. I got this from previous and existing music magazines so I decided to make this adjustment. Not only does this add depth and fits a running theme through the whole of the magazine, it fills up a little bit more space.
This is what my front cover looks like with the added images in the circles. I think that it finishes the magazine off nicely as it isn't too much, it's just the right amount of images added to make it look well put together. The same goes for the image below.
I have made a few adjustments to my front cover. I have changed the font completely to New Alt because it matches the font that's on the cover album on the double page spread.
I have also created some circles to match the theme of having them on the double page spread. I have made the circles the same colour of the background with a white border around them to make them stand out and not to have the circles blending in with the background.
In addition to this, i have also made the font of "Cassidy Taylor" bigger and more slanted so that it appeals more to the eye. I also underlined it to make it look better and neater. I really like the look of it now, as it looks more like a country music magazine.
I have also added an album cover, as there is a chance to win it for viewers. I did this by just typing the name in and overlapping the name and the surname together to make it look like this.
I will be adding a picture to this to make it look like an actual album cover.
I am taking the photos on Thursday so i will update you when i have competed them.
Today i will be showing you my double page spread in which i have developed a little bit. I have added a circle to the bottom left hand corner just to break the writing up a little bit. I will be adding a photo in the circle to also give a bit more atmosphere and to give the readers a little bit more knowledge of what the article is about.
However, as the article is about bullying and not letting the haters get to you, the circles will resemble bullet holes and how they have been dodged and how she has come through it. In my research, there weren't any magazines that did this because the articles were all about artists releasing new albums and things like that. I, however, am going against that to be different and i like that.
Hello, today i am going to show you the improvements i have made to my front cover. First of all, i have changed the font of the text because i wanted it to look a little fancy but also look professional.
On the other hand, i decided to move the text around as well as the image. Moving the image to the middle of the page matches my research that i did of the front covers. Moving the text to around the image also helps to centre the image and to make the attention go to the image.
Overall, i think i am going to keep this layout because it matches the research that i have done. However, i may play around with the writing and make it look presentable.
