My 12 slide evaluation


This is my conlusion slide :)
I wrote how i felt about my magazine overall
and if i had any difficulites with making the magazine and what i thought i done well in.
I am glad that i finally finished it and i do think i worked hard to get it completed :)

My 12 slide evaluation


This slide i wrote about why i picked the magazine. Also why i chose Indie/rock genre for my magazine. I wrote a quite a bit in that slide.

My 12 slide evaluation


In this slide, i wrote about what software i used i also printscreened Photoshop. And added the logo from blogspot.
I explained that i had soem difficulites with using photoshop and how i couldnt download it onto my computer.

My 12 slide evaluation


This slide i wrote about the research into the other magazine which i looked at which is Kerrang. I wrote a bit about the history of the magazine. I also kept the colours the same as i did in the begining which was red and blue.

My 12 slide evaluation


In this slide i wrote about the different pictures i took i think i took about 10-15 pictures just so i had enough to choose from, i did do much editing to my pictures as i knew how i wanted them to look like. In this slide i hadn't wrote to much. Maybe i should have put in the other picutre i used for my contents page. As i put the pictures in from my front cover and double page spread.

My 12 slide evaluation


In this slide i put pictures of other magazine front covers i particularly looked at NME magazine as this is the style of genre i was going for.

My 12 slide evaluation


In this slide i wrote about the audiences for the mgazine i made, and the audiences for the other magazines i looked into.
And why the magazines are so popular and why the readers choose to read the magazines.

Double page spread


This is about my double page spread i again compared it to NME's double page spread with there band they are interviewing.
Overall i think my double page spread looks ok i had difficulites in creating it in photoshop.
I tried not to write to much on my slides , i think the amount i wrote is enough.

My 12 slide evaluation


This is my slide on my contents page, i also compared it to NME's contents page. I wrote how similar they are with the image of a band on the contents page and then you have the page numbers of other things in the magazine.
Also i have copied the box where you can subscribe to the magazine.

My 12 slide evaluation



This is my second slide. I am comparing my front cover of the magazine to NME the magazine i looked into for my research. I havent added much colour to the slides a bit like my magazine.

My pictures


As i was busy doing my magazine i hadnt made time to continue with my blog and didnt post the pictures i would be using and what i was going to be changing to them or how they will be used on my magazine.
This is my picture i am using on my front cover, i thought it was the best picture for the front cover from all the 15 pictures i took, i had to think about the look i was going for and where i wanted to take the pictures and who would be best to photograph. I am happy with the way they all turned out.
I think its important that i did take alot of pictures as it's easier to choose which one i would use for my final piece and i had alot to choose from which was easier.
Now having completed my magazine this is still the photo i used for the front cover, i didnt need to edit it much because i knew exactly how i wanted it to look like and made sure that when i took the picture it was correctly thought about.


This is the type genre magazine i am going for and Indie magazine

I also read this magazine so i know what they do to actact their readers

Im going to post more about the magazine company itself.

The Magazine

After having many difficulities i have manage to complete my magazine i found the process a bit difficulites at times but overall im happy that it has all been completed. I do believe that i have learnt alot from using Photoshop and with the help of others now feel slightly more comfortable to use it again. I still have to finish my 12 slide evaluation i should'nt have any difficulties as its pretty straight forward in what i need to do. Im also going to post some other blogs about previous things i have forgot to post. Such as all my research on magazines.

My Magazine

Over the holidays I have been trying to get the 30 day trial, but that has been a little difficult but I have had a help from a friend so it should work if not i will try again, However in school I managed to complete the front cover and get what i wanted on it and i need to complete the others quickly hopefully photoshop will start to work on my computer or i will have to do it all in school, i feel as though my photshop skills have improved as i had some time before we broke up from school in school to use the computer's and try new things to learn more on how to use photoshop.
