Week Fifteen - Diary

This week I finished Question 2 for my evaluation; in this question I discussed how my magazine reprsents different social groups. Therefore, I explained how incorportaed articles about gigs and festivals therefore directing a particular social group I also discussed how the way my model was syled reflected the indie/rock social group e.g. the clothes she was wearing, her naturalistic make up etc. Also in this week I made some improvements to my frontcover from the comments I got from other people in my class.

Comments/Feedback for magazine

After I finished the first draft of my music magazine I got feedback from other students in my class which included the positives of each page in my magazine and the possible improvements that I can make. Below I create a PowerPoint including these comments and discuss whether I will change the improvements or not.

Week Thirteen - Diary

This week I began completing question one of the evaluation of my music magazine. In question one I disuss how my magazine fits into the typical conventions of a music magazine and my reasons for doing so. As a result, I went through each page of my magazine and discussed this e.g. I have seperated my contents page into sections which makes it easier for my reader to navigate to their desired page - this is also a typical convention of music magazine therefore, this makes my magazine more professional. I also discussed the different shots I have used throughout my magazine and how this could potentially diffentiate my magazine from other magazines in the market.

Week Twelve - Diary

Over the past few weeks I have been working on my magazine final draft in Photoshop; this consists of a magazine front cover, contents page, and two double page spreads. To make sure I incorporated my genre of indie/rock well, I made sure to look back at previous tasks that I have completed e.g. my proposal, this was very useful as it was a basic idea of what I wanted to include in my magazine e.g. colour, price etc.


Throughout my magazine I tried to keep the continuous colour scheme of red, black, white and grey; however, I tweaked some of the colours so they were darker shades so they fitted in to the magazine better and worked well with the models clothing. I also made sure I used a variety of different images in my magazine, therefore I made sure that my model was in different poses to make the magazine on the 'Exclusive' story seem more intriguing for the reader. My model is also wearing a different outfit in the article page to vary my magazine further.


Overall, I am happy with the final outcome but I will go on further to improve my magazine in the coming weeks. 

Magazine - Final Draft

Week Eleven - Diary Entry

This week I created my article draft for my music magazine which will be placed in my double page spread. When writing my music magazine I had to think of creative and suitable questions to ask my music artist so my article was interesting and entriguing for my reader. Additionally, in my article I included the actions of the artist e.g. when they laugh this to make the reader feel like they are there with music artist being interviewed.
