Diary Week 16

     I have officialy completed my music magazine including all my corrections and adjustments such as extending the number of pages on my contents page, the layout of my contents page, I have included an image. I am also using a variety of media in responce to my evaluation questions.

Diary Week 15

     I have completed my editing for my Audience Feedback video which I have uploaded, also I have constructed video responses for my Evaluation which I will soon add to my written versions.

Diary Week 14

I have been working on a audience feedback for my music magazine. I am currently asking people from my target audience their opinions of my magazine, their likes or dislikes, how the pages are presented also how I have used props and a variety of technology.

Diary Entry Week 13

     This week I have been working on my final layout to my music magazine I am making many adjustments to my draft version to relate it more to my target audience, genre of music and they style of magazine I am aspiring to. I have used a similar style of my draft version for my final front cover but have used the colours from my colour scheme to relate it to a Pop theme, by using two main colours yellow and blue to create this effect.
   I have also made a new contents page with a completly different layout compared to the draft version. To make this cover I researched into many different layouts for a front cover and fount this column version more clearer to follow. I have made sure my page layouts are realistic and would flow well together just like other music magazines.
     With my contents page I have used my blue and yellow colour scheme to indicate who is speaking in the interview I believe this is most effective as the colours do not clash making the convosation flow and be clear to understand for my audience. I have also shortend the introduction to the interview and made the doouble page more about the interview than just background information and history as shown in my draft version.
     I believe these changes make the magazine more professional and more realistic in relating to my origional plan.

Diary Entry Week 12

   This week I have continued to redesign my background going to a more colourful design, as this will make my magazine relate more to my origional plan. Whereas before I used a negative colour tone as I wanted to include the idea for my title however I believe it does give a fun image but does not suit the bright colour pallet I had origionaly chosen.

Diary Entry Week 11

    During the week I have been editing my music magazine and making improvements. I am planning to include more pages to my main article such as an extra double page spread with a more detailed interview, an added extra introduction page.

Diary Entry Week 10

This week I have made a video of my design for the title of my magazine I am continuing with the idea of using sparklers to write the initials of my magazine LCA (Lights, Camera, Action). I have also created a contact sheet of my photoshoot, I am pleased to how the contact sheet is presented as it is clear and easy to access.

Diary Entry Week 9

     This week I have made a short video of how I will design my title for my music magazine, I am continuing with the idea of using sparklers as the font as the bright colours strongly represnt Pop. I am also in the process of uploading my contact sheet of my photoshoot and my draft designs for my magazine. I believe I will have all my designs and planning completed before the 15th December 2011.

Diary Entry Week 8

I have organised the photoshoot and with three models (including myself) and the photoshoot went very well the images came out clear and I have a variety of different angles and positions. I have also completed my sell lines and my mood board is fully completed, and my poll survey is completed. In class we have been continuing our blogs working toward our magazine ideas.

Diary Entry Week 7

I have been working on my mood board and my poll results however I find I am thinking of ideas for my photoshoot now but finding it hard to organise. I was hoping to include a modal but trying to organise a suitable date to complete my ideas is proving difficulty, my next step is to do it after school during the week.

Diary Entry Week 6

This week I am planning to do a photoshoot for my magazine, I have a consent form and I am planning to use music props in my photoshoot to create a fun pop image as this would attract my audience more. I have completed my results for my Poll, and I am currently making a mood board for my magazine based on everything classified as pop or related to pop.

Diary Entry Week 5

With my Name Ideas finished I have a more clear idea about how my magazine will be structured. Also my poll results are finaly finished, I managed to get more results by using a social network site this aloud my results to be more accurate.

Diary Entry Week 4

This week is half term, I am still working on ideas for my magazine also using Prezi to explain my ideas about the name of my magazine. I am planning to use other forms of media to make my ideas more interesting and varried.

Diary Entry week 3

     This week I have made a Poll focussing on what people would find interesting and to get their opinions of how to structure my magazine, by creating multiple choice options I will get a clearer understanding to what other people like in a magazine.

Diary Entry Week 2

   I have started using photoshop for my school magazine, I found photoshop quite complicated as some actions needed to be controlled by holding a variety of keys down, however I am happy with my overall result for my magazine. I only used photoshop for adding and placing titles, for my first time using photoshop I did not want to make my magazine look complicated and full of hundreds of titles and images.
   I have also set up a Blogger account and have uploaded my draft and completed school magazine. Blogger has a lot to offer for my own blog however adding different titles and columns are a little hard to find in the menue.

Diary Entry Week 1

    In first week of media, I was given the task of planning a front cover and contents page to a school magazine. I decided my magazine would be better suited for the new year seven students, as they would benefit most from the information given.
   I made a rough draft of my plan which included: the name of the magazine, sub heading about what my magazine contains, price and my main image. These ideas will help guide my magazine to my target audience.
