Week 6

Week 6
This week we handed in our rough cut magazine, with the front page, contents and double page spread. i handed it on the Tuesday at 4:30pm. in our next lesson we got feedback from students and teachers. it took a whole lesson, but i got a lot of helpful advice on how to improve my magazine. i'm going to re-take my front cover photo and change the colour scheme of my double page spread. i also want to re arrange the layout of my front cover and add two more photos to my contents page.

Week 5

Week 5
this week i've continued with my magazine and started my contents page and double page spread. i took more photos on the Friday for my contents page. i also wrote an article for my double page spread, which took a lesson time. after applying into Indesign i realized their is some space so i'll need to add to it. i also checked the spelling and grammar as mistakes like that would make it look unprofessional.

Week 4

Week 4
 This week we had lessons on how to perfect the magazine with the right language and format. Wednesday we started the rough cut magazine. i used Indesign for this. i stared with my title and experiment with different blocky fonts which matched my genre. i continued with the information on the front cover and added my chosen photo for the front cover after editing it slightly with Photoshop which i found effective in airbrushing my image.
