Ongoing Production Log - entry 4


Today I have created the masthead for my music magazine; I had to experiment for a few minutes to remind my self of how Photoshop works. This was a very easy task as i have already had a rough idea of what my masthead is going to look like.

Ongoing Production Log - entry 3

Today I have completed my textual analysis for my contents page and my double page spread, I found this task very straight forward as I have done a similar task before when I had to textually analyse 3 different music magazine cover pages and also I had clear structure of what exactly I needed to include so this task was not very difficult.

Ongoing Production Log - entry 2

Today I have finally complete my textual analysis of 3 different music magazines, this was a difficult task as I was not sure of what elements of the magazine I should include within the magazine but with help from previous task i have completed in task I was able to complete this task. I have also managed to upload scan of my rough draft of what I would like my magazine to look like.

These were my first drafts of the 2 page spread for my music magazine, I did not like the layout as it look very plain and not very exciting, after looking at many other music magazine 2 page spreads, I had decide against this designs

Ongoing Production Log - entry 1


Recently I have been working on my textual analysis, I have been textual analysing 3 different music magazine front covers of a similar genre and then analyse the effect of having each feature. I will be using what I have learnt from this to further develop my music magazine front cover. I have been having trouble figuring out what I should include within my textual analysis as I am not really sure on what aspects of the music magazine front cover I should be focusing. I had revised previous lesson on what I should include during my textual analysis.

Music Magazine brief

We have been asked to create a front cover, contents page and a 2 page spread for a new music magazine. I intend to research my audience to create an accurate representation of the selected genre I have picked. After learning from preliminary task of what difficulties I would expect when coming to create my music magazine. I am now familiar with the software I will be using so I will be able to transfer the skill I have learnt creating the school magazine to when I create my music magazine. My plan is to create a rock genre magazine as it was the most popular choice of genre from my questionnaire.
