Question 7 powerpoint
- 1. What I have learnt from the progression of the preliminary task to the full product. Researching into other media products similar to the one I was trying to create helped me out a lot making me able to develop and complete the main task successful because I knew how it was meant to look and who I was aiming EXPERIENCES my magazine at, It also allowed me to create my own ideas with inspiration from researching into magazines such as ‘clash’.

PLANNING AND PREPARATION
- 3. TIMING I needed to organise my time more efficiently, as I lost track and need to keep up as I changed my ideas a few times it made me fall behind, so in the future I would set out a more detailed plan which is more realistic as my magazine suffered from the time lost, also because my magazine is so different with its landscape orientation I needed to make more time to figure out how to print and put it up on my blog.

- 4. My photographs turned out reasonably well, using the camera I decided to use made the pictures turn out to a high quality. I used many different shot types varying from medium close up to a long shot, also I changed angles by sitting down and taking the photos and turning the model to face the other way. Photography
- 5. CONVENTIONS I used many conventions for my magazines front cover with the use of a masthead and a puff, coverlines and a front cover star. Also on my contents page I have used the same font as the masthead to keep the theme going throughout the magazine.
- 6. TARGET AUDIENCE DETERMINING THE OUTCOME OF THE MAGAZINE. Before starting to create my music magazine I looked into my target audience in depth as It has to appeal to them for the magazine to sell and gain profits, The target audience determines the outcome of decisions made during the production process. For example, At first my double page spread had a completely different layout which was very blocky and sophisticated but after looking into the target audience I discovered they would find this boring and dull and putting some colour into the page would make my target audience want to read it, also I changed how I wanted my model to portray the image of the audience to a more laid back expression rather than smart. Another thing that was determined by the target audience was the style format of speech how the interview was perceived and how the artist would speak through the interview, as I had currently had a more formal language and changed it to a more laid back conversation.

- 8. Looking back at the targets I set myself after the last preliminary project, I think I have defiantly improved the quality of photos I have taken, using a digital camera rather than a phone camera makes the photos look more professional. Also I believe that my evaluation this time is better than the last as it has more detail to it, and adding illustrations more frequently. Therefore I believe I have progressed since my last preliminary project however I now have new targets which are, NEW TARGETS • Watch my timing and be more efficient • Work out of lesson time to catch up • Don't change plans half way through
- 9. Throughout this project I have learnt many new skills using software such as Indesign and Photoshop, I have learnt to manipulate images and create a magazine which looks like any other music magazine which is out there, also I have learnt to download fonts from a website to use in a POST-PRODUCTION software. When manipulating the images I changed the background colour cut the figure out and changed the scale of the photo, also used a spot healer to clear the models face to make him look more like the models used on other magazines, I have used the rubber to remove smaller details I don't need. Before I started this project I had never used Photoshop or Indesign so it was all new to me however I found it easy to get the hang of and SKILLS now manage to edit my own photos for other subjects.
