SCHOOL MAGAZINE (problems)

MUSIC MAGAZINE (differences)

•DURING THE CREATION OF MY MAGAZINE, I LEARNT THAT THE

TITLE HAD TO FILL THE FULL WIDTH OF MY MAGAZINE FRONT

COVER, IN ORDER FOR IT TO GRAB PEOPLES ATTENTION

• IN ORDER FOR MY MAGAZINE TO BE NOTICED, I HAD TO

CHOOSE THE APPROPRIATE IMAGE THAT CORRESPONDED

WELL WITH THE GENRE OF MY MUSIC MAGAZINE, MY TARGET

AUDIENCE, BUT ALSO MY COLOUR SCHEME AS WELL

•IN ORDER TO MAKE IT LOOK PROFESSIONAL I HAD TO MAKE

IT LOOK APPEALING TO MY TARGET AUDIENCE OF 35 YEARS

AND UPWARDS (COLOUR SCHEME)

• I ADDED GLOW TO THE BACKGROUND OF MY IMAGE, IN

ORDER TO MAKE IT LOOK APPEALING AND EYE-CATCHING

TOWARDS CUSTOMERS

• I HAVE ALSO CREATED A POSITIONING THAT RELATES TO THE

GENRE OF MY MUSIC MAGAZINE

• I ALSO LEARNT THAT IN ORDER TO GET A DECENT

PHOTOGRAPH, THE MEGA PIXEL HAD TO BE 10 OR MORE

• THAT THE FRONT COVER IMAGE IS THE ONE THING THAT HAS

TO TAKE UP MAJORITY, BUT NOT ALL OF THE FRONT COVER

CONTENTS PAGEMY SCHOOL AND MUSIC MAGAZINE

SCHOOL CONTENTS PAGE (problems)

• CONTENT PAGE ONLY CONSISTS OF 3 IMAGES

• HAS ONLY 6 HEADLINES

• HAS ‘PAGE’ IN FRONT OF ALL OF THE PAGE NUMBERS

• ALL THE TEXT, APART FROM THE ‘PAGE’ AND NUMBERS, ARE

ALL WRITTEN IN THE SAME FONT STYLE

• THE IMAGES THAT I TOOK FOR MY SCHOOL MAGAZINE ARE

ALSO, LIKE THE FRONT COVER, BLARED

• THE BANNER SAYING ‘FREE INSIDE....’ IS TO CLOSE TO THE

TOP TWO PHOTOGRAPHS

• DOESN’T REACH OUT AND GRAB PEOPLES ATTENTION

• NOT PLANNED

MUSIC CONTENTS PAGE (differences)

• MY MUSIC CONTENTS PAGE OF A MAXIMUM OF FIVE IMAGES,

THE SAME AMOUNT OF IMAGES USED IN A PROFESSIONAL

MAGAZINE

• THE FEATURE ARTICLES AND REGULAR CONTENTS OF MY

MAGAZINE ARE CLEARY IDENTIFIABLE

• THAT THE DATE OF THE MAGAZINE HAS TO APPEAR ON THE

CONTENTS PAGE IN ORDER TO LINK IT TO THIS PARTICULAR

MAGAZINE ISSUE

• I HAVE LINKED EACH IMAGE THAT I’VE IMPORTED TO THE

RELEVANT FEATURE ARTICLE BY PLACING NUMBERS IN THE

BOTTOM

• THERE ISN’T ‘PAGE’ IN FRONT OF THE PAGE NUMBERS

• THE PHOTOGRAPHS I SELECTED I CHOSE BECAUSE OF THE

DETAIL (MEGA PIXELS MORE THAN 10)

• I HAD PLANNED OUT WHAT I WAS GOING TO IMPORT AND

WRITE ONTO MY CONTENTS PAGE WHEREAS I HADN’T FOR MY

SCHOOL CONTENT PAGE

• HAS TO LOOK PRESENTABLE IN ORDER TO DRAW IN

PEOPLES ATTENTION
