PRODUCTION DIARY: WEEK 4

In our Media class we have begun to look at our main task which is the production of our music magazine. From the research we have taken we’ve had to narrow down our selected target audience and what the readers will be interested in reading. I found out this information from using ‘Survey Monkey’ an online questionnaire service. This software is useful as you can create a variety of questions with a variety of answers, it’s also easy for people to answer questions and easy for me to retrieve data. I’ve also created a Prezi which shows the steps I took in order to create my final production.

PRODUCTION DIARY: WEEK 3

In this week we finished off our preliminary task to create our school publication. Since last time I have finally finished my magazine’s front cover and the contents page. I titled my magazine ‘Harris Cut’ which I am pleasantly pleased with. I will soon begin to plan my two page spread for my school magazine.

FINAL FLAT PLAN

This is my final school publication design. I have used appropriate colour schemes to fit in with my chosen theme and inserted images to make it look presentable. I have chosen to go along with the colours black, white, grey and blue as they look aesthetically appealing to the eyes. Combined with the font and texture I believe this piece looks polished and well put together making it suitable for the appropriate target audience.

FONT SEQUENCES

I created a font chart to show the different type of font styles I could use. Doing so helped me to come up with the decision of my colour scheme and fonts I chose to use ‘Calibri’ size 80, black and bold, it is simple yet eye catching.

PRODUCTION DIARY: WEEK 2

This week I was finishing up creating the school publication for the preliminary task. I used my previous flatplans and continued to improve my publication for the cover and contents page. I stuck with my original colour schemed as I believe that it’s the most aesthetically appealing to readers eyes. I came up with the final name for the magazine ‘HARRIS CUT’ because it’s quick, short and easy to remember. I am pretty sure that I have reached my targets demographics because what will be included is aimed primarily at teenagers in school in years 9-10 but can also be read by younger year groups, parents and teachers. I will soon begin to create my two page spread for the magazine and I believe I am confident to do so as I now have a clear demographic audience and colour scheme/theme.

PRODUCTION DIARY: WEEK 1

I began looking at the preliminary task which is to create a publication magazine for a school. So far for my magazine I have drawn a flatplan to see a rough idea for what I want to do, and then I created a second draft adding my selected colours for my theme. I have chosen to go with black, white, grey and blue as these colours are the main colours that my selected schools theme is and that they look appealing together. I will next have to take picture to add to my magazine cover and contents page. Once that is complete I will be able to write articles. I will then put them together making sure that the text and pictures relate with each other.
