evaluation, question 7.

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

                                                    Here is my college magazine front cover.

                                                          Here is my music front cover.

From my college magazine front cover to my music magazine front cover, you can see a significant difference between the editing that has gone one. In my music cover their is a lot more subtle writing that fits the picture well, as in my college cover i have only 2 sections of writing that are large, stand out more than the picture and are just generally unattractive. Also i tried to edit the teeth in my college front cover, which looks unfinished and just awful, as in my music front cover instead of pin pointing areas like that i have brightened the whole picture to make it stand out and look very clean and glossy. With the photo, the music cover picture is a lot stronger as i choose to use a subjective look which attracts the audience better. Overall i think the music cover looks very more professional, as i choose respectful varied texts, and a mature and noticeable mast head, the magazine also has interesting information that is specific to the genre of the magazine, and just fits a lot better.

When doing my college magazine, i didn't do a double page spread, but i can still show you some of the editing that went into my music double page spread any way.

Here is my double page spread of my magazine. It has various editing techniques that are not a typical convention which makes it interesting and better than what you would expect. the pink diagonal box is made to look like a curtain, which applies space for text and also has a gradient with a colour that mates the models lipstick and the circle with "Golden Brown" wrote inside. The whole picture looks bright, and she is very much the focus of attention, which is exactly what you want. it has a lot of texts, which is what i was aiming for, and if you read the interview you could see that its very relaxed and chilled which emphasises the audience I'm aiming for.



Here are the two contents pages, one of which is my college one and the other being my music one.

                                                             College contents page.

Music contents page.

These two contents pages are totally different, my college contents is so basic, with 2 colours on a stripped back ground, it also has only 3 points advertising on 5 pages. Its very basic with no pictures, an not really much editing involved at all, while on the other hand my college content page is very detailed, and covers 67 pages on varied interesting facts, it also gets the name of my magazine in. i applies strokes and shadows to pictures and texts boxes, which shows the imrovment in my photoshop skills, i have used many pictures to back up text, and applied patterns and shapes to seperate different sections on my contents. i have various boxes that attract you to read more, and they are shown in large boxes, with shadows, strokes and alternating colours.

                   Overall you can see the change in my college production to my college production.
