Question 5 from Hannah Ould

Double Page Spread

Contents Page

Front Cover

Second Draft of Contents Page

Here is my second draft of my contents page for my music magazine. I have added some polaroid pictures to fill the some of the black space and have gotten rid of the photo credit as it did not fit where it was but would not work anywhere else.

Second Draft of Double Page Spread

Here is my second draft of my Double Page Spread. The only thing I have changed is my dominant image as I feel like this one works a lot better,

Second Draft of Front Cover

Here is my second draft of my Front Cover for my music magazine. I have changed the Dominant Image and have used the stroke tool to outline the text so that it is easily readable against the background. As well as this, I have changed some of the fonts and colours.

Possible Pictures for Magazine

Here are some of the pictures I could possibly use for my magazine. From these pictures I will decicde which ones I think would be the best to include in my pop music magazine.

Start of Lesson

In this lesson I will be working on my evaluation.

End of Lesson

In this lesson, I have completed Question Three of the evaluation, using Powtoon. As well as this, I have made a list of all the things I have yet to do, on Evernote, so that I can effectively manage my time and make sure that I have everything completed before the deadline.

Draft of Double Page Spread

Here is my current draft of my Double Page Spread for my Magazine. From last time I have made the two sub images polaroids and have gotten rid of the image credit for both of them. As well as this I have changed the colour of the 'Get Katie's tips for the perfect selfie' from yellow to white as yellow was a bit too hard to read. Also, I have gotten ride of the logo from the top of the page and moved the 'Article' running head along slightly. I have written the masthead of the magazine next to the page number.

Draft of Front Cover

Here is my current draft of my Front Cover of my magazine. From last time, I have changed the images for the Snapchat filters to ones that work better. I have, also, gotten rid of the yellow heart and have made the band images bigger. As well as this, I have added an outline to the '3 Huge Stowaways Posters' so that it stands out more against the images.

Draft of Contents Page

Here is my most recent draft of my contents page. I have changed the contents of the yellow box slightly; I added the band name to the pictures, I added a picture of one of the pages from the magazine, I added another front cover and I have expanded on the social media links. I still think that I could change a few things about this page, for instance I could move the photo credit and change the dominant image.

11th January 2016

Start of Lesson

In this lesson I will be continuing to redraft my magazine and work on my evaluation.

End of Lesson

In this lesson, I have made progress on my next drafts of my front cover, contents page and double page spread. I have, also, identified what I still need to change about each one.

Feedback Interview for Double Page Spread

From this interview I know what would be best to change and keep the same for my double page spread. I know to keep the fonts, layout and colour scheme. Also, the shapes work really well with the theme but the dominant image needs changing or editing better.

9th January 2017

Start of Lesson

In this lesson we will be peer assessing each others Double Page Spread and we will, also, be working on our evaluations.

End of Lesson

In this lesson I have peer assessed peoples work and have had mine peer assessed also. As well as this, I have examined the evaluation questions and have looked at existing evaluations for inspiration and as an example.

Double Page Spread Feedback

From this I know that the colour scheme and the fonts work well with my theme. I, also, know that I should possibly add an outline to the article title and possibly change the yellow writing as it is slightly hard to read. Overall, I got quite positive feedback from the class but I know what I should do to improve.

4th January 2017
