At the end of this lesson I will have done my peer assessment, printed out my contents page and second draft of my front cover. I will have done my compare and contrast and a interview about my contents page.

by the end of this lesson I did everything except for the interview because the person was in another class and it is all uploaded to my blog.

Compare and Contrast for contents page

This is my compare and contrast for my contents page. This has helped me see what i have done similar and different to the actual magazine and what I can do to improve it next time. For example I used a guest editor for my editors note and next time I could maybe add more images to my contents page.

Feedback for Contents page

This is the peer feedback fro my contents page. I have lots of things to improve on and I know how to do them. This has helped me know what people like about my contents page and what I need to improve, such as have less boxes and fix the editors note so it doesn't go over the box.

Contents cover draft

This is my first draft for my contents page. I have tried to include everything I can that is on a contents page and I have learned where things need to go on a contents page by doing this.

This lesson I will carry on working on my magazine contents page and upload the progress to the blog.

At the end of the lesson I added things to my contents page and uploaded them to the blog.

Magazine Contents Page Draft

This is what I did in todays Media Lesson. I started working on my contents page again as my other attempt from the previous lesson has been deleted and I forgot to upload it to the blog before that. I put boxes where each of my things will go so I know exactly where they need to be and I have started filling in some of the boxes. This really helped me because I had a plan for what I was going to do. Next lesson I will put a photo on and add more things to the title.

Inspiration for Contents Page

I got lots of images of the contents page of Kerrang! because I am going to base my magazine off this. Doing this has helped me decide which bits of each contents page I am going to copy and use on my contents page. I like this layout because I like how each important bit has a section.

By the end of this lesson I will have finished my magazine, peer assessed other peoples work (mine will also be peer assessed). I will also have an interview with someone about my magazine and I will have compared and contrasted my front cover with another. If I have time I will self assess and start making my contents page. All of thee things will be posted to the blog.


At the end of this lesson I finished my magazine, I also peer assessed other peoples while men was being peer assessed. I then uploaded these to the blog. I didn't do my interview because the person I am interviewing is in another class so I will do that in my spare time and upload it. I did my compare and contrast task and uploaded that to the blog and I have started planning my contents page. Next lesson I will do the self assessment and start on my contents page.

Compare and Contrast

 This is my compare and contrast task that I did after I had finished my magazine. I compared my magazine to a magazine that mine was based off (NME) and I said what was the same, what was different and what I would do to improve. My magazine had aspects of two NME magazines on it for example it had a dominant image of one person with everything placed around it. This task has helped me no what I can do to improve when I make my final cover, for example adding a background color and basing it more off magazines as mine is loosely based off NME. The next time I make my magazine it will be more closely based of NME's magazine style.

Peer Assessment of Front Cover Draft

This is my final draft of my front cover. I have had lots of feedback from people telling me things I could improve and what they like about it. This task has helped me identify what I could do to help me improve when I make my final front cover. To improve i am going to add a background color and have a better quality image. 

This is another draft of my front cover. I changed the colour of the background so it fits the theme and genre of it. I also added a tagline at the top and images of music events that I took. I also started to make the sell line for it and add more plugs/puffs. Next time I will finish make the sell line and the other plug, as well as editing the images more and make some of the text a bit bolder so they stand out.

Magazine

This is what I have done in the lesson. I made the dominant image bigger so it fills most of the space and I replaced the pictures of the bands with pictures of Jade. I also moved somethings around so it all fits better.

By the end of this lesson I will have improved more of my magazine and uploaded it to my blog.

At the end of the lesson I improved further on my magazine and uploaded it to the blog.

In this lesson I will talk about generic conventions and I will improve my magazine blog further and upload it on my blog.

By the end of the lesson I improved my magazine further and added it to my blog.

Front cover draft

This is what I did in the lesson. I have added more things such as images and made the images bigger. Next lesson I will improve further.

2/11/16

In this lesson I will analyze a front cover of a magazine to help me with my own. The I will keep making my front cover for my magazine.

At the end of the lesson I added more things to my front cover magazine and I uploaded the progress to my blog.

Front cover draft

This is the progress I am making with my draft front cover. I changed the title to a better font, added essential information, images and a better competition. This has helped me see how I am progressing and what I need to do next lesson.
