- 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.

i think that the prelim task front cover is quite good and it is very eye catching. there could be more text on it.
i think that the music magazine front cover is quite eye-catching and does look like a real magazine. However, a few of the fonts are too plain.
I think that your blog gives a clear overviw of most of the work you completed. Your front cover for the music magazine i feel has a good contrast of colour but i think there should be more coverlines. Also i really like the layout for your double page pread but i think it needs some use of brighter colour to liven it up a bit.
Really like both of your magazine covers- prelim and music. I really like the image on your prelim task, I think this works really well, and I think it would work very well as a school magazine. Also, your music magazine looks great. I love the image and the way you have shadowed him in different colours. It makes it really eye catching and works really well. Only thing I would say is that some of your fonts are not as eye catching as the image.
I really feel that this blog simply reflects your outstanding levels of commitment to the course. However, although i deem your work to be a sucesss, some of the fonts could be 'spiced' up as it were to giv a little more spunk to the magazine.
Kindest Regards,

Your cover is very good and has a good use of colours. I also like the effects that you have used on your pictures. The only thing is that a lot of black has been used.
This is a good blog, i like the look of your final front cover of your magazine, it fits well with the style that you seem to have aimed for. Your double page spread could have been as eye catching as your front cover thats all i can give as a negative. Your school magazine is very good, its well fitted to the style it should be concidering it is for school. well done
Your blog gives a good insight as to how much work you have put in. I really like your front cover, and i also like the effect you have used on your picture as it is something very different and makes the whole page eye catching. I think your double page spread could have been as eye catching as your front cover because it doesn't grab as much attention as your front cover did for me.
i like the way you have used different colors and font, the pictures also look really good.
