Magazine

I have done my interview with the band for my magazine and i still have not got round to doing the front cover due to the lack of my photoshop skills its been difficult, but i just need help with it and then i think it will be on its way to be finished im worried that i wont have a lot to fill space on my double spread but when i know how to use photoshop it may all work out better :(

the magazine..

I have already taken my pictures for media i new who i was going to use where it would be and what look i was going for so that it would attract the target audience, the magazines genre is indie/rock music. All i need to do now is choose the best picture for the front cover and for the double spread, i also need to write up the interview for it. With all the pictures i took i dont need to do alot of work to them just as i had new exactly what i wanted it to look like.
I know how i want the magazine to look like and what colours and font im going for although im having difficulties using Photoshop at the moment and i still can't think of the name for the magazine.

Catch up again

For Friday 30th Januarys lesson. We had to take pictures of nature for a magazine about nature i worked with Chloe and we went outside of school to take some pictures and we found some good places to find pictures we had some good pictures but when we wanted to take more the cameras memory was full so we had to make a decsion on what we wanted to keep and use or what we needed to delete. Then we went back to school to upload them on the computer to see which one was the best.

Catch up

Thursday 29th January catch up as i didnt write about it. As i forgot my password
In this lesson we where shown by Mark how to use photoshop and all the benefits of using it and how to edit pictures and how to change backgrounds etc. Also you need to save your work or the picture you are using and when your changing it you need to make sure you have your first copy saved.
Due to missing lessons because of my dentist appointments i need to catch up on work.
We are now looking at magazines and genres and how they attract their audiences, i looked at the magazine NME and have researched and compaired the online version to the printed version and found out the similarites and diferences between them.

I'm going to be doing a music magazine genre Indie rock music, i have to take picutres of friends for my magazine which we will be doing this week at school. I also need to come up with a name for my magazine and work out what audience it is focused for.
