Music Magazine Planning

Music Questionnaire

I conducted a survey almong my fellow students to find out what people's thoughts on what price I my media product should be, What genre would they prefer to buy, whether being male or female would make a diferrence in buying the magazine or not and any other general ideas they had to contribute.

Preliminary Task

This is the final draft of my preliminary task. The improvements I made from my draft were that I changed the colour coordination to make the magazine have one uniform colour and to look more professional. I also added white squares and bubbles behind the text to make sure it was clear and stood out so could be read easily as opposed to my draft were it was quite difficult to make out what the text said. I tried to make sure I got the balance of pictures and text right so I did not have too much of either.

Preliminary Task Contents Page

I chose this picture to be on the front of my magazine as I thought it showed the perfect balance between school work represented by the books on the desk and the computer screen but also it had the social aspect included aswell as the student has his earphones in listening to music.

Draft Front Cover School Magazine

This is my draft copy of my school magaazine for the preliminary task. I used photoshop in order to learn the basics of how to use it in preparation for my final copy. From this experience I realised I would benefit from planning ahead and if possible to sketch a brief copy of what I wish to produce so I can avoid leaving a lot of blank and bare space and also not too be too cramped.
Also through market research I learnt that people always look on the left hand side of the page first so I have put my text bubbles in order or importantance from left to right across the page.
