Evaluation Question 7

The difference between my two sets of work is quite large. My prelim task looks a lot more 
compared to my final product. There is a lot of white empty space on it whereas my music
magazine cover makes the most of all the space.

When I made the preliminary task it’s clear I had little direction and limited knowledge with 
the software I was using where as in my later creations its clear I’ve become quite proficient in it.  

My music magazine is far more detailed and has a better overall design, with colours that work
together.

Evaluation Question 6

I have learned a lot during the process of creating my music magazine such as how to use Photoshop effectively to produce a professional magazine. I have learned how to use the majority of tools to develop a magazine front cover, contents page and double page spread. These tools allowed me to do a variety of different things to produce my magazine whether it was adding text, creating a background, editing an image or merging two images 4together and much more

 I also have learned how to use canon cameras efficiently and effectively including how to use rule of thirds to produce an image suitable for a magazine front cover, magazine contents and magazine DPS. This has allowed me to produce some high quality professional images that suit the intended purpose. Rule of thirds has helped me to produce images that are positioned accurately and effectively. 

 Another technology that I have used that has helped the process of creating my music magazine was the apple mac computers as they have aloud me to upload the photos I have produced and also use Photoshop to edit images also to use the tools to build my magazine they have also aloud me to update my blog to show the process of creating my magazine and also to research music magazines to see what content they should consist of and which conventions they should follow.

Overall I think I have learned a lot since creating my prelim magazine that has aloud me to produce a magazine front cover, contents page and DPS spread to a good standard I have used a variety of different technologies during this process to aid my work but without the different technologies I wouldn't of achieved a successful magazine.

Evaluation Question 5

I asked some friends what they thought about my magazine pages and the work I’d done. The feedback they gave me helped me shape my magazines design and contents.

Some people told me they liked the colours I used as it was eye catching and they all complemented each other.

Additionally the photography also received some feedback. My audience said the overall quality of the photos was lacking slightly.

When asked if the magazine looked like a real magazine my audience responded positively. They said the design matched those of other music magazines in the same genre.
