Preliminary Activity
Music Magazine
You can see from my music magazine front cover, contents
page and double page spread, compared to my preliminary activity school
magazine front cover and contents page, that my skills have improved vastly
from it. This is because I have had more time on using fireworks so I have
developed new skills which made my music magazine look a lot more professional.
I also learnt, from the preliminary activity what looks good on a magazine
front cover and contents page. For example in my preliminary activity I have used
the same font on the front cover, so there isn't any font variation. As I didnt
have font size variation in my preliminary activity, I used it on my music
magazine, as it created emphasis on certain words. I also learnt to take
pictures for my magazine in a much more professional way, instead of just going
around school and taking pictures of random people. I learnt about camera shots
and angles which helped me take pictures for my music magazine. When I took
pictures for it, it was planned out like an actual photoshoot. I used a white
background so it looks like it was done at a studio, whereas in my preliminary
activity the images had things in the background. As I learnt to take pictures
against plain backgrounds, this meant I could create visual syntax more
carefully on my page. I also found out that using one model instead of two is
more effective on a front cover. When making my music magazine I was able to
compare and bring ideas from existing products, which meant my work was more
planned and thought out. I also identified who my target audience was and brand
identity and values, which meant I was able to cater my products towards them.
Overall I feel I have learnt a lot from my preliminary activity as I learnt
what looked good and what didn't.
