PRODUCTION DIARY: WEEK 12

During this week I have focused on the context of my production, looking closely at the stories I will cover. I need to do more research for the interview of my artist and how I should construct the interview. I also keep looking at my mood board for the inspiration for my double page spread.

PRODUCTION DIARY: WEEK 11

During this week I completed my drafts of my front cover and contents page for my magazine. I followed the flatplans made to give me an idea of how to lay out my production to fit with my target demographic. I have continued to make changes with the font and colour scheme to make sure it looks appealing.

MOODBOARD

 

I looked at different magazine, mainly VIBE and Billboard, looking at different genres, comparing the front cover and contents pages. I did this because it gives me an idea of how to lay out my own front cover and contents page, and shows me what appeals to my own target demographic. I looked closely at VIBE magazine and have used that as my main inspiration for my own, this is because of how the layout suits the genre and target audience. I like how the front covers focus mainly on the masthead and main image, this is a convention I will be using on my own front cover.

PRODUCTION DIARY: WEEK 10

This week I have created a colour scheme and a flatplan for my magazine cover. With these first steps I am pleased with the outcome and can see what needs to be improved. We had a specialists come in during the week to teach us how to use Photoshop, this was helpful as I can now use it to create my magazine cover. We also looked over our mock exam which was helpful to see what needs improving and I took a picture and uploaded it. We also looked at mise-en-scene of different music magazines.

PRODUCTION DIARY: WEEK 9

This week I created a flat plan in my mock for my music magazine with a rough idea on how it will be laid out, I evaluated it and wrote a pitch for the final production, I then began to look at the fonts and colour scheme I will use in my magazine. I also sorted out my work and putting all my work in my folder.
