The Pictures you seen to the right

and left is my Double Page

Spread final copy. 

This is my double page spread of my music magazine. i used a range of different tools to construct. This was the hardest part to construct. I used 

indesign. I think it works well because the colours goes well and ended up the way i wanted it.

This is my school prelim magazine. it does look plain but as it is a prelim task, i thought it was ok and i used the tools again like the drop shadow, sizing etc.

The end pictures on the right are a print screen of my contents indesign. The end picture is the toolbox i used and the different tools and what i used, So i used the text tool, the colour tool, the shape tool etc.

The screen above is my questionaire which is where i asked people a range of questions about my magazine, what they think will do well, what wouldnt work. I got the feedback off them and the feedback is above as you can see.

The print screen below ( the grey shot) is a shot of photoshop and what i did and what i used in the photoshop. As you can see i used drop shadows and different types of text to get my magazine the way i wanted it. The screen to the right ( which is highlighted in orange) is my music magazine propsal, and in this i had to write what i wanted to do with my magazine, like right about my title, the colour schemes i wanted to use etc. Thsi helped me a lot. The screen to the right is my double page spread, this is where i analysed

 a music magazine article in a real music magazine. The screen at the top with 4 pictures is a story sequence and i did this to get used to the camera. The picture with ' Front Cover' is a shot of my front cover analysis for a real magazine. I analysed many aspects of the front cover.

MAKING THE MAGAZINE AND MY PLANNING FOLDER
one thing i have done in Media so far is a double page spread analysis . This is where i have looked at a article in a magazine and wrote about what is actually in the article.

Also i have then taking photos using the digital camera to get use to the camera and how to use it. i then went out and took photos for my prelim school music magazine which i am now going to make as a mock up on photoshop. I have also learnt how to use Photoshop to help me with my magazine.

Overall in my media studies folder so far, i have a spider diagram of different types

 of music, two front cover analysis, my picture sequence and analysis and also have my double page spread analysis.

My planning folder is now finished and everything was up to date. The pictures of what i have done are at the start of the blog. In my folder now i have my spider diagram, 2 front cover analysis, A double page spread analysis, my picture sequence,My music magazine proposal, my photoshoot plan, my prelim task plan,my music magazine front cover, contents and double page spread layout,music and school photos,my questionaire feedback and my website analysis.I updated my school prelim magazine and am happy with the result.

My front cover for my music magazine is now finished The colours worked well together. It come out the way i wanted it to. When using photoshop i used so many different tools like the drop shadow, the sizing tool and many more tools.

I have started my double page spread and so far it is going really well and the wa

y it is going, i think it will be really good. I have had some trouble though tyring to put it all together but now it is getting there and looking good. I have changed the colours a few times because i haven't got it the right and some of the tools are not letting me do things so i have had to change the way i finalise the page.

For my contents page, we used Indesign and it was pretty easy to use now that i had the hang of it.

TOOLS I USED WHEN USING INDESIGN AND PHOTOSHOP

While using photoshop and indesign, i used a range of different tools to get my finished magazine the way i wanted it to look. When using photoshop i used a tools and these tools that i used were adding drop shadows to the pictures and writing to make it stand out more and bring the magazine to life. Also i used the image tool which let me crop and change the size of the image to the way i want it to be. I also used the rotating tool which is where i could rotate the picture to the angle i wanted it so it would look best. i used the shape tool as well which is where i can make different shapes to put on my magazine. i used this on my double page spread and contents page. The shapes worked really well. i also used different fonts from www.dafont.com to make the writing different and stand out and it worked really well. When using indesign it was harder to use because you had to make sure you u

sed the right tools before you used any. When using photoshop on my contents page i had to use the eraser to cut some of the background of my picture to go onto my contents and turned out well afterwards.
