Evaluation: Question 7- Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the production from that to the final product?

Music Magazine.....................College Magazine





FRONT COVER: 

-The most obvious difference is the quality of the main image.This is also due to the professional quality of the SLR's in comparison to the digital camera's.

-My college magazine image is extremely yellow whereas my music magazine is a lot cleaner and brighter. The relationship between model and camera/audience is a lot more intense.

-There is a lot of space on my college magazine and the gray background seems to wash all the text and image.

-Laura is the main image and takes up the whole front cover. The text structure and colours are all placed to compliment her and draw focus to her.

- In my music magazine, there has been the inclusion of issue number, website and bar code. This makes it appear more authentic than my college magazine. 

-The masthead is more original and not a cliche font that has been adopted a thousand times before for the genre.

-I played around more with tools such a paint bucket, magic wand, drop shadow and shapes for my music magazine. My college magazine is very simple and overall quite plain.








Contents Page:

- The amount of space is more than apparent on my college magazine contents page. In the time in between both projects, I learnt more about structure.

-My music magazine is a lot more eye-catching with the images being more in quantity, a better quality and nicer colours.

-My college magazine is quite garish, the red is definitely overpowering on top of the gray and the font is fairly bland.

-For my music magazine, I learnt a lot more on lighting, composition and saturation and how these work to make a really good photo. They seem to stand out a lot more in compared to the college magazine.

-As I was just becoming acquainted with photoshop for my college magazine, it lacks effects such as outer-glow, drop shadow, the use of the lasoo tool.

-I used the margins for my music magazine to create balance and proportionality. The same cannot be said for my college magazine...evidently.
