Evaluation Question 7
My school magazine and music magazine have a huge difference between them except for the fact that they are both holiday themed. My music magazine looks so much more professional than my school magazine which looks simple and basic.
I spent a lot more time planning my time management for my music magazine as I had issue's with this during my preliminary task. I put more time and effort into research and found that it definitely payed off. When creating my school magazine I was new too adobe indesign and therefore took a while to learn how everything worked, having known all this in my music magazine task I was able to get straight onto constructing and editing. I learnt more about magazine conventions and was able to use this is my Music magazine to make it as best as possible. I payed more attention to mise en scene as I realised this was extremely important & I allocated time to think solely about it.
My contents page also looks a lot more professional, I have not left a lot of blank white space in my music magazine and have made my contents look much more interesting and inviting. In my preliminary task I didnt even consider what order things would go in and why where-as for my music magazine I created a flatplan and then created my contents.
From researching, planning, creating and evaluating my magazines I have learnt that there is so much more to making a magazine than you originally might think. I learnt things like Country weekly is produced by American Media, Inc the same company that produces OK! & each magazine has a flatplan made of the order the magazine will be set. Before starting these tasks I would just look at a magazine and not really consider the reason I wanted to buy it, I knew nothing of the 'Z Rule' or the reasons things were placed where they were.
Creating the double page spread taught me that so much goes into just two pages of a magazine and the time it can take to plan and create these two pages. The photoshoot for my DPS was much more serious and professional than my photoshoot for my preliminary task.
I have really enjoyed making both my magazines and have spent a lot of time and effort making decisions, editing and creating. I have learnt lots of new skills and ideas that can be used in other aspects of school and life.
