- for my first task i had to do an analasyis of a front cover and a double page spread. I used the NME magazine to undertake this work. with the front cover i had to mainly analyse the headings, the presentation and the pictures. with the double page spread i analysed the style of writing, the information and the way it is set out.
- for my next task i had to go around the school and take pictures that tell a story. for mine i chose to tell a story about life at school from the age of year 7 to 12. after i took
these pictures i analysed them once presenting them. i decided which was my best ones and which could have been improved.
- for the next task i done an analysis of 2 music websites. i chose to do Q and Mojo as they are the 2 best selling
magazines. i looked through both of the websites and what i mainly had to do was compare what the magazine is like compared to the websites. from my understanding both are very similar in terms of styles and presentation.
- i then went onto doing my preliminary task. i had to do my planning for my school magazine. i created a front cover where i had to decide on the title and what my magazine will involve. i also created a double page spread of the inside where i had to create and design what will be inside my magazine. as the magazine is about school i had all sorts
inside it, sports, subjects, teachers and also competitions.
- Next i had to create my actual front cover, using Adobe photoshop i created my front cover which included everything that i had in my hand draft copy. although there were a few things that i had to change it all turned out according to plan and eventually it turned out better then i first thought it would.
- After i had completed the school magazine i went onto creating a plan of my front cover and double page spread for my music magazine. i created both of these on paper.
- i then created a synopsis, contents of the music magazine, and the questionnaire. all this will help me in creating a music magazine that everyone will enjoy. when i created my questionnaire i had to distribute them to 20 people and from the results that i got back i would use them in order to make my magazine the best that it can be. to make the answers more clear i created graphs for each question.
- now i created the front cover. this took me a while to do due to the fact i had to try and make every little detail of of it perfect. my final cover looked alot different to my initial one but i think in my opinion my final one looks alot better.
- i then went on to doing my double page spread. this went well but there was alot of adjustments to make when i initially thought i had finished. although it has got aspects of it that looks like my initial idea, the final product has come out a little different. after i had figured out it was going to be my final idea after all the adjustments i was ready to print it of to do final checks to see what it would look like on paper.
