December; Time Management Reflection

This is my December Time Management Reflection post. I have, again done well with updating my posts on time and being able to add extra posts throughout the month to help with my evaluation work. I feel as though I could of added a lot more work in this month but I did keep to my schedule and managed to update some extra work. 

Time Management - January

Here is my Time Management for January. It is not as packed as the others but more work and effort is needed to make sure all work is updated on schedule so I do not fall behind.

Double Page Spread; Comparison

This is my Comparison Post for my DPS. I really liked the idea of having my text on one side and a close up image on the other. I also liked the idea of having one colour to represent the artist. 

Rather than a normal masthead, I decided to use a pull quote from my article, this is different to Billboard's DPS as they just have a title that represents their artist. I decided to have a pull quote as the masthead as it intrigues to reader and grabs their attention and makes them want to read the article.

Double Page Spread; Changes

Double Page Spread; Update

I have succeeded in making my photo look professional and making sure that all white lines aren't visible and my editing isn't visible in a bad way.

Double Page Spread; Todays Agenda

Today, I am wanting to edit my dominant image and make sure the photoshop looks real and professional as I don't want it too look amateur. I am trying to get rid of the white edges and perfect the stray hairs around my models head.

Front Cover; Self Assessment

This is my self assessment for my Front Cover. I gave myself the grade B/C as I feel like I produced an appropriate material for the task and target audience. Furthermore, I used conventions that were understanding to the task and showed awareness for fonts, register and language.

Double Page Spread; Update

This is my double page spread so far, I really like it. I think the picture is suitable and I like the R (for Robyn) on the right hand page.

Double Page Spread; Todays Agenda

Today, I am wanting to start my Double Page Spread and make sure to get a little ahead as I am a lesson behind and I am wanting to finish my DPS on the deadline we have been given.

Contents Page; Comparison

This is my comparison post for my Contents Page. I really liked the idea of having a dominant image that stands out against a background then three sub images.
Although, the contents page from Billboard doesn't have an editors note, I decided to add one on mine to make it more unique and give it more individuality.

Furthermore, I added a colour coordinated key down one side to make it easier for the audience to find articles. I also added in a sell line under my main dominant image to intrigue the reader and encourage them to go to that article.

Double Page Spread; Flat Plans

Masthead; will be a pull quote from the Q&A article, I have decided to do this because it will catch the readers attention and make them want to read the article straight away. I am wanting to use two different colours for my masthead to make certain words stand out.

Dominant image; it will be a close up of my model so that the reader feels up close and personal to my artist. I think the image of my model really draws the attention to the kindness and happiness of the model. I will be erasing the background so that it has a plain white background, furthermore, my angle is eye level so that my model will have a direct mode of address and a large toothy smile to draw in the readers attention.

Mise-en-scene; My model has a piercing and a necklace with a shark tooth on, I have made sure to keep this in the shot to add to my models happy go lucky personality. 

Colour scheme; I have decided to use pale pink and creams on my magazine as I think it links well with my models hair colour and clothing. Also, it matches my models sweet personality and her acoustic music. 

My article is a Q&A article, I thought it would be best to do one of these as there isn't as much writing needed so it won't bore the reader, plus because my artist is 'new', it will allow the audience to get to know my artist.

Layout; the composition/layout of my page will look quite professional and tidy, this is due to having the image on one side and the article on the other. I decided to do this as I thought it linked well with my magazine genre. 

Page numbers will be situated on the bottom corners of the pages like on my front cover and contents page, they will be in plain black so they are easy to find,
