Which Title?

When chosing which design for the title of the music magazine i asked the members of  my family and my friends which one they preffered and the majority chose the first one, they said the glow makes it stand out to readers. Second was the fourth one.

"I like the first one because the glow makes the black writing stand out on the blue background"

"The shadow on the third one make the title standout"

The School Magazine!

To help get me started on Photoshop I designed a school magazine.

What i done was a front cover and a contents page, which is the same as my music magazine!

This is my contents and front cover, which was help for the music magazine. The majority of the work was done on photoshop however the photos were taken before hand and then edited with photoshop features.

Rivals!

For my music magazine i will be doing a rock music magazine. The music magazine will be for readers between the age range of 14-34.

My biggest magazine rivals will be Kerrang! and NME however i will also look at their conventions to get help on my magazine. These magazines list festivals and have stories on the biggest artists and bands.



Front Cover

The front cover Should contain an image that the main story is based around; this image should dominate the whole of the magazine. The title should be able to stand out from other wording. There should be other writing circulating around the whole of the magazine which wil be of other stories that are in the magazine. To make the magazine more realistic i wil include a barcode, price and website.

Contents 

For my contents i will look at the two magazines for help with mine to see how it is laid out. The contents of these both have images on. they contain stories with their page numbers, at the top of Kerrang! it has a bit about the magazine.

 





Photographs!

This is the picture that i am using for the front cover of the  school magazine,

This is what it looked like before i started editing it in photoshop. It is a good picture because the person is in a good pose and is looking towards the camera facing the audience.  I had taken the photos in my group.

For my music magazine i worked in a group again and took at least 100 photos that had a model in certain poses.

I then done this again working in a two however this time it was me in certain poses.

An example of a good photo,
it is a medium shot. 

Again there is no pose in this photo either, just like the one above.

Lessons!

This is my media blog and i will tell you what i have done so far in media. For the task i am currently doing i worked in a group of four, went around the school and took various amount of pictures for the school magazine that i will produce later on. The magazine will have to be aimed towards 11 - 18 year olds so i'll have to be careful what i put in the magazine.

We couldn't use the full shared learning area because of lessons and exams which were taking place. This resulted in a problem because we wanted to take photos of the new facalities which had been added to the school. There was also a time limit which meant we had to be quick when taken the photos. The other pupils in the class were taken their photos so we would run into them and they would walk into our shots.

The second lesson i studied what the main conventions of a magazine were, l iooked at colours, picture format, font size and text and what goes into a music magazine. I also had to analyse a piece of work and had to go to the clc and make a word document on what are the conventions of NME and KERRANG! I had then anaylse another magazine made by someone in the previous year.

Third lesson we practiced writing articles and how they would be formatted, we had to chose our favourite band and do research on them.

The next week we then spent the whole lesson taken photographs for our music magazine. We went outside the school to take photos and also took some inside.

I spent the next two weeks over at the clc where I typed up my article, for the music magazine. this wil be the main story of the person i put on my front cover.

For the lesson that followed i got on with magazine, improving the front cover and beginning to start my contents.

The following week i done some more improvements with my work (front cover and contents). Then i edited my blog to update my progress.


7/4/11 - in that lesson I had to get on with my Music Magazine improve it and also made a questionnaire.
