Target for this lesson...

My target for this lesson is to start on my contacts page and also edit my blog after the feedback I received last lesson.

Billboard

Double Page Spread

Contents Page

Front cover

Update on Billboard

Update on my Billboard. I have created my billboard and I wanted to keep it simple so I have placed the photo on it and made it black and white because I think it looks better than having the picture in colour.  i have then put the name of the magazine across the middle and I think it looks good because it is simple and easy to read and there is also not a lot of text to read so it is effective for passers-by/

Update on a page of the Website

Update on a page of my website.  I have added a new photo and added text underneath them.  I think this looks better because you want to know who they are and also what they are doing for the events.

Update on Contents Page

Update on my Contents Page.  I have added the photo and it seemed bare at the bottom of the photo so I added some text and I makes the reader look towards that, promoting the double page spread.  I may have to change the photo later on but I like this photo because it is simple and adds more to the page.

Update on DPS

This is an update on my DPS. I have moved around the photos and I've added an extra one because I thought it could do with something else on the page.  I have had to move some of the writing around too for the photos to be able to fit on the page.  An out line has been put on the title because it makes it stand out to the reader and I think it makes it look more appealing.  

Update on Front Cover

This is an update on my Front Cover.  I have now added the photo and because of this, I have had to change the colour of some of the text because it was blending in with the photo and you couldn't read the writing.  I have changed some of the writing to white to make it stand out more on the dark background and on others I have changed the colour to a dark red because the black wasn't standing out and the white kept blending in with the photo. I may still have a few little things to tweak.

Update on Double Page Spread

Update on Website

This is my website so far.  The colour is linked the the colours of my magazine, keeping with the theme of my magazine.  I have started to put photos on it and I have also put text on it to make the website look and sound better.  I am going to edit it and also put more photos on and maybe change the photos that are already on there.

Target for this lesson...

My target for this lesson is to edit my front cover after the feedback that I received on it.

Billboard Idea

For my Billboard, I would like to make it really simple, similar to the Apple billboard but I will make it my own but keep the simplicity of it and I feel that it will be more effective as a billboard than putting more than a little bit of text on it because people won't see what it says driving past it if it had a lot of text on it.

Update on Double Page Spread

 

I have edited the DPS again because it wasn't looking like an actual magazine because of how I was setting out the text and where I would have been putting the images.  I have now put my text into columns to make it look realistic.

Double Page Spread Update

I have updated my Double Page Spread and I decided to change the back ground colour because I thought it looked better than just plain white and I have also changed the font on the title because the previous font that I used didn't look right and once I started adding other things to it, I started to dislike the font I used.  I have also added the page numbers and the name on the magazine to the bottom of the page with a banner running across the bottom because I thought it would look more like a magazine and also I thought it would look effective.

Flat Plan for Home Page of Website

I want my website to link back to my magazine so I will put the masthead at the top and also the tag line that is on the magazine. I want the navigation bar under that so the audience can easily move around the website. Also websites always have extra info at the bottom, such as, careers so I want that at the bottom too.

Target for this lesson...

My target for this lesson is to start on my front cover and try and get that finished this week.

Photos from Photo-shoots

These are the photos from the photo-shoots that I did. I didn't use some of the photos because they were either too blurry and you couldn't see their faces, it was too windy so their hair was blown into their face or the sun was too bright so the shot didn't look right when it was taken. Some of the photos were too dark so I couldn't use them even though they would have been good to use for my magazine. However, I did get some really good and effective shots of my models/bands which I will be using for my magazine, billboard and website.
