The End of the Road

I'd be lying if I said the last few months have been a breeze. Looking back, it's occurred to me how much I've learnt- not just about making magazines and using Photoshop, but the importance and relevance the media has on it. 

To celebrate no more magazine-making-related-stress, here are some songs which have helped me through this experience and to signify the end of this chapter in my media life.

Evaluation Question 7:

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

I think it's a really clear difference in the amount that I have learnt in the space of time between my preliminary task, and my final product. In my preliminary task, I couldn't get my head around Photoshop and using the Mac's and I didn't think I'd get anywhere. However, with pure determination and motivation, I went from something that looked like this:

To something that looks like this:

 

 

Comparing both magazines, I feel more confident that my Uprising front cover, contents page, and double page spread look more official, whereas my "King's Sport" magazine pages looked quite rushed, and there wasn't much colour or variation in the font and the size. Also, the contents page doesn't connote sport, which was what I was trying to put across, whereas my Uprising contents page does so. I am really proud with the outcome of my final pieces, especially the double page spread, as it was the one I struggled with the most.

The Final Product...

MisterNothing "Fly to Mars"

This is a band called MisterNothing, and the lead singer, Mitchel Emms, appeared on The Voice UK last year. Since The Voice, he has put a band together and released an album "All my favorite bands are dead". This is a song which appears on the album, and I really like it so I thought it would be nice to share it. 
This band are Alternative, but you can hear that there is a 90's influence with a modern twist.

Making my Double Page Spread

DPS Update

Here is my new and improved Double Page Spread!

I definitely like this layout, but I would like to write a bit more, and I want to edit the font I have used for the article. 

I've also realised that I haven't put in a fold line in the middle, so some of the words wouldn't be read easily, especially the title of the article.

Audience Feedback

This is some feedback I got from a couple of girls in my target audience. It helped me to see what they liked about my magazine, and what they thought should be changed.
