Today I have been finishing off and touching up on everthing that needs to be finished. I have now finished it and now in my planning folder I have got: a double page spread analysis, a mind map of genres of music, two magazine front cover analysis, a picture board of photos taken on the school camera and evaluation of the picture board and a design of my school front cover magazine and design of the contents page. Also before, the picture borad was not coming up when I opened it, so I replaced it with a copy from my memory stick and now it opens.

Today I have been finishing off my School Prelim Magazine front cover. I have added new texts and edited the layout using photoshop. I also put stronger drop shadows on the texts to make them stand out more.
I also Finished mt Contents Pages for my School Prelim Magazine. It is just a loutout design of what a contents page for this magazine could look like if I was actually going to design it.

Today I have finished all my music magazine task including my front cover, contents page and double page spread. I used photoshop workshop to create my front cover and contents page designs. I planned a photo shoot which I held in the lighting room at school. Most of these pictures are the pictures featured in all of my music magazine. My double page spread was designed on the 'indesign' program. It took a little while to get used to after using photoshop for a while but It was fine after a while. I am really happy with what my double page spread looks like at the moment. I was really happy and proud of my front cover because I worked really hard on it. It turned out to look very nice and I think the Images and fonts (and colours) go together really well. My contents page I was happy with too, but if elt i could do a little bit more to it, so i added a few paint splatters to fill the page out a bit more, and also make it look a bit more interesting. My double page spread turned out good too. At first it looked very empty and boring, but, with Help from my teacher, i turned into an interesting page. I liked the fonts and i think the images worked really well together.
This is what my magazine looks like:

SHOPUSING INDESIGN
Indesign workshop is similar to the Photoshop software. Most of the tools are the same. They can make shapes, create text boxes, draw, rub out, add colour, rotate images and more. The only draw back of indesign workshop is that to make to images bigger, you have to press 'cmd shift' for the images to resize otherwise some of the image just gets chopped off. I also used the magnify tool to get in closer to the page and ee what needs to be corrrected. Overall, using indesign to create my double page spread was good and I would use it again for future peices of work.
i think the double page spread is good because there are hardly any gaps and the spaces are filled well.
ReplyDeleteThe school front cover is good, however i personally would of chosen a different font for the 'charity fun day', but other then that i think it is well laid out and clear.
The double page spread is really good because loads of different colours have been used and it works really well. There is a lot on the double page spread which is really good and looks like a real music magazine article.The front cover is really good for the music magazine and the writing and colours work really well. on Natasha's school magazine, i think she did a good job byt the only thing i have to say that the charity fun day becasue it looks a bit odd the way it is placed but overall a really good music and school magazine was created.
ReplyDeleteNatasha, I think that your double page spread is really nice it is full and does not have any gaps, the colours you have used go well together and there isn't anything that sticks out in a bad way.
ReplyDeleteI think that the images used are strong one, the glows given to them work well with the background colour, it makes them look as if they are not flat but are actually 3d.
I really like the theme you have carried out throughout your whole project. I really like the layout on your double page spread, contents and front cover. It is really well layed out and i really like the font style and colour scheme. I really like how different your double page spread has been layed out, it makes it look really interesting even just to look at. I especially like the font style you used for the band name on the doulbe ppage spread, it is really different to anything you see normally in magazines.
ReplyDeleteTash I love the front cover. I think your front cover as been very well put together and looks like a professional magazine that you would buy out of a newsagents. The models support the magazine's theme effectively and you have coverlines and sell lines to support the front page. One thing I would change is maybe space out the sell lines a bit more as they look a tiny bit squashed in and leave space on the outside. I still think you've done a fantastic job, well done :D
ReplyDeleteI like your magazine as the colour scheme is very eye catching, one thing you could change in the future could be to add more to the front cover e.g. sell lines and cover lines apar from that the front cover is a success.
ReplyDeleteYour double page spread is filled up to max, great job there and i like all the images you have used one thing i could suggest is that you could of maybe had some more writing on the double page spread, but i know it is hard to find things to write about. Apart from that well done :)
I like your contents page, to me it stands out because of the bright colours you have used. I really like the bold borders you have used around all of your images. I think it gives off a professional look. Your magazine as a whole works well, the colours consist throughout, you magazine looks good!
ReplyDeleteI really like your double page spread, it really does the job well. Everything is layed out well and you have got a good balance of text and images. There are no gaps and the colour scheme is nice. I like the way that the gaps have been filled by little music notes and stars. All of the images look great so your magazine is looking really good :)
ReplyDeleteYour magazine's really good, everything is consistent and flows nicely, and the images you took are really good too where you have used direct mode of address etc. You've done a really good job overall.
ReplyDeleteYour magazine is really good. I like your double page spread. You've used a good colour scheme and the layout has a professional look.
ReplyDeleteYour front cover looks really good as well. The layout is nicely done and the picture you have used looks great. Everything works well and has been done nicely. :)
