Photoshopping & Discussions;

As I have photoshop at home I did a lot of photoshopping at home to make my artist look flawless because of the cover of most pop magazine the artist looks flawless and I wanted mine to look the same. I used the blemish tool to touch up any bits that needed doing, and the spot removal brush over a couple of parts. I also used the light tool to make the background and my photo to look a little lighter and this also helped get ride of any dark shadows. I then used different tools to get ride of any fly-away hair on the pictures.  I spent hours cropping out different pictures and placing them in different places on the contents page to see which one looked better, in the end I decided on two different photos for both my front cover and contents page. I spent a lot of time choosing different fonts and colours to see which looks better with which colour and which stood out better, in the end I decided on a final font "Times" which i used a lot throughout the whole magazine.

I originally wanted to keep my front cover roughly the same to my draft magazine as I really liked the photo of the front cover, however Mr Smith thought that my artist needed to look more poppy and her clothes didn't suit the genre of my magazine. I felt that it would be a lot easier to use that photo as my front cover, because its one all of the teachers originally liked and so did I. Also because after doing another photo shoot where I didn't get any ideal photos for the front cover, I thought it was the easier option. Then I did some more pictures which Mr Smith thought she was dressed more like a pop artist, however her hair was different than before which shaped her head differently. I picked out two different dresses, a white flowery one and a dark purple one, and then a crop top and some high waisted shorts.  I then took some more photos, and after asking several different people me and Mr Smith decided on two different photos for my front cover.

Evaluation Task;

For the final 20 marks of the project, you must complete seven tasks on your blog, posting them in this order, with the question heading at the top of each task. Make sure you answer each question as well as producing the visual elements. Try not to write more than 1500 words in total.

1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? (i.e. of music magazines)

2. How does your media product represent particular social groups ?

3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

4. Who would be the audience for your media product?

5. How did you attract/address your audience?

6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

7. Looking back at your preliminary task (the continuity editing task), what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?

Final Magazine!

Week 8

week 8;

FINAL WEEK.

I took some more photos because I wasn't too sure with my last photo shoot I did. I finished my article and made some final tweaks to my magazine. I couldn't decide between 5 different magazine covers, and a couple of photos for my contents page.

Front Cover font and colour ideas

I tried different colours for the writing on the front cover; I found that yellow didn't work as you can see the writing, purple works but it looks quite dull and pink works the best.

Front Cover final Ideas

Front Covers;

These photos are taken from my second and third photo shoot. As i wasn't sure about which photos I preferred, I choose the five best photos and asked on different peoples opinions.

Third Photo Shoot

3rd photo shot

I re-took the photos for a third time, because I felt that the 2nd photo shot I did, none of the photos worked on the front cover or the contents page. As I liked my original front cover photo, I tried to reanact the same pose. I also liked a photo from a contents page from billboard magazine, which I tried to to do as well.

Week 7

                                

Week 7;

I've changed my initial idea for my contents page as before I didn't even have a layout for it, but now I've decided on one from the magazine billboard.
I also took some more photos this week, I choose three different outfits for her to wear;

I thought that these outfits were more "poppy" and suited the genre of my magazine as before she was styled like a pop artist.

I also made more tweaks to my final magazine.
