This week I worked on
my preliminary task which was to create a school magazine (the front cover and
the contents page). First of all, we took pictures appropriate for our
magazine. In lesson, we took photos of certain school buildings and fellow
students to appear on our pages. I took a range of different photos including
ones of the new school canteen (which I thought would be useful for one of my
main storylines). I also placed a quick sketch of what I wanted my preliminary task
to look like on my blog. I also gave reasons for my designs and how they would
attract the audience.
When it came to
creating the magazine, we used Indesign which gave me an idea of how I would
have to create my music magazine for my coursework in the future. I got to use
specific tools that I hadn’t of used before including the way we could select
colours and save them for future use. I learnt how to place images on the page
and also how to work with the text tool and create an outline.
If I were to improve
what I did, I would add colours to my design to make it look more appealing and
it would have also given me a better idea of how to create my magazine.
Throughout this product, I intend to look at a range of different magazine to
give me an idea for mine. I started to this during this week as I looked at
front covers and also read through an issue of ‘Kerrang’.
