- 2. Front Covers Within our experiments we did some front covers as practice. I did mine personally about music and used the same artist and same general idea for both of my front covers that I created. I used different colour schemes to create a different feel to both of them. For example for my first one I made it aim around the main colour as orange which matched the background well and made it look very aesthetic but didn’t have much more of a colour scheme going on. My second one however was mainly red and black with the background being red and the text being black, The red definitely made the front cover stand out and pop but I still prefered that aesthetic of the first front cover I created. I think this experiment helped me with a lot of skills within photoshop although I did know a few of the techniques I used already it helped me improve my skills within these techniques.
- 3. Reflection As I've said I think this experiment will help me a lot within my techniques within making a front cover when it comes to making the one for my actual front cover. This experiment has definitely helped me know what layouts look good within front covers and what can make them look messy and not as well put together. I think I have learnt a lot while working on this experiment and I do think I have a few ideas about what kind of thing I would like to create within the main project. This has helped me realise what kind of magazine I would like to make and what to use to draw audiences in. I have also learnt about colour schemes which I will be using in my main project as colour schemes bring the whole cover together.

- 5. Double Page Spread In this experiment we practices making double page spreads within our magazines. We took an existing article on something we are interested in and we made our own double page spread for them. I personally took an article about a rap group called Migos as they are releasing a new album and there is a lot of controversy and unmistaken gossip about the album and about the group themselves. We created this in both photoshop and in design as we used photo shop for images we wanted to insert into the document and In design for the text in the project. I think my actual practice on this could be a lot better and I will definitely need to improve on my double page spread for my main project.
- 6. Reflection I definitely think my double page spread could do with some improvements and isn't the most well put together thing I have ever done. I will definitely be tweaking it this week. However within this experiment I have learnt a lot within In design as it was a new program to me personally and I had never used it before so I definitely learnt a lot of techniques within that field that I will most definitely be using within my work in the future as it is way better within inserting text and it makes text a lot easier to work with in comparison to photoshop. Also I think I will need to improve my skills with practice when making my actual double page spread however this experiment was a good learning curve and I have definitely learnt from my mistakes wityhin this expoeriment and I wont be repeating them within my actual magazine.
