- 2. •My Front Cover-Preliminary •My Front Cover-Main Task Task (College magazine) (Music magazine) •I feel I have learnt a lot during the process of constructing these magazines overall and within each task set. This can be clearly justified through my main pages. •The main features being the main image positioned in front of the masthead but more clear. •The distinct use of Photoshop in manipulating my images from their original to a more airbrushed canvas. •Creating flashers and a header. •All of the points to the right mentioned suggest, I have used •Drop shadowing the the software Adobe Photoshop and In Design, the editing text/copy. program ‘picmonkey’ to help enhance and signify the codes •Cover lines being more and conventions of magazine through the use of the appropriate. masthead, header etc to help appeal to my chosen target audience.
- 3. •My Contents Page-Preliminary •My Contents Page-Main • In contrast to my preliminary Task (College magazine) Task (Music magazine) task and my new music magazine I have progressed throughout in understanding the making of a real life product. I have shown through in the following below; •The layout and composition of the page using the rule of thirds effectively to make it more realistic and not using many images to give structure. •Using different typography helps gives the magazine more personality and a ‘indie-pop’ feel than using basic ones. •My contents page looks much more professional and •The most important would be realistic compared to the preliminary task as I have using white space effectively to developed my ideas in constructing a contents page that frame my images. existing magazines have; by following the key principles of a magazine.

- 4. •My double page spread-Main Task (Music magazine) •For my preliminary task I wasn’t able to create a double page spread as this was not included in the brief, however I constructed a billboard in year 10 which I feel has helped me bring out the codes and conventions that I have needed in order to create this one. I have learnt many things in producing this such as my main article as I have chosen to do this as an question and answer format, which my audience have enjoyed as this was one of my strengths that appealed to my target audience. Creating this double page spread was a new challenge for me that I had overcome and feel is one of my strongest pages.
Editor's Notes
- #3: What challenges have I made different? i.e. barcode being bigger than usual. Medium shot rather than a mid-shot using a two shot not only one artist!! Why I have rejected them make sure you justify why??How have I followed the conventions of the music magazine? i.e. masthead being across the top third.
