Editing photos for my magazine...

FRONT COVER: The image on the left, is the edited image put on the front cover of my magazine. I made it have a bit more colour and life, as i felt it needed it, to brighten up the front cover a bit more.

CONTENTS PAGE: I made this picture slightly lighter and brighter so it had more life and colour. I made it so that it kept the smoke on full few and that it just looked less dull.

Double Page Feature, Over all evaluation...

This is my double page spread. I was quite worried that this didn't fit into the same theme and the front cover and contents page, but after talking to peers, and teachers, I felt quite enthusiastic about my double page feature. It was written in order to play up to the character im trying to portray, and it goes along with the type of audience my magazine is aiming to attract. I'm quite confident that the writing is up to a good standard and reflected the readers of TWISTED magazine. There could be a bit more detail on the 2nd page of this double page spread, but I wanted to keep it too a minimal and not over do the amount of work on the two pages.

Contents Page, Over all evaluation...

This is my contents page. I think that this page followed and looked just like the front cover, so kept to the theme of the magazine and i based it on the magazine NME. I included news, reviews, features and a personal letter from the Editor (me) as you see in some magazines. It reflects the audience i have aimed it too, and i kept it too the colour theme i used on the front cover.

Front Cover, over all evaluation...

This is my magazine front cover. I was really happy with my front cover, after many attempts and many weeks working on it, I felt it ended on a really good, professional looking magazine.

I felt it adressed my target audience, kept to a good simple colour scheme, and has ended up looking professional. There are a few critical points, thats im not happy about, but over all i am extremely satisfied with the outcome of my work. I was hoping for more puffs, and for its to be a bit more packed out, and busy. But I decided after all that this wasn't neccessary and that maybe if it looked any busier, it wouldn't look quite as good.

This was my planning work for the feature article.
This was my personal planning to prepare me for what was going to write in my 2 page spread. I think this was a really good idea and it deffinitly helped me to write my magazine.

This is my pre-liminary task. This was to research the types of magazines out there and who there target audience was who they feature on it, genre of music it is based around and where it is distributed to. I chose Q, Kerrang! and NME. They were the types of magazines based my magazine around, and they inspired my magazne.

Moodboard

This is the moodboard we had to make to show what bands, artists, and albums looked like in my genre of music. My chosen genre is rock, and these are the types of things that sum up my genre. A few of my favourte bands are on there, and the mojrity of the artists are n bands, and are not solo artists.
