7. PROGESSION

MY PRELIMINARY TASK VS. MY MUSIC MAGAZINE

Before creating my pop magazine for my preliminary task I

created a school magazine. Since creating that magazine I have

adapted and progressed skills and technique for when I create

my music magazine. Looking back on my school magazine I've

picked out features I feel were poor and annotated what I’ve what

was wrong with them. I’ve then shown my music magazine and

annotated key features I think have shown my progress and new

skills.

MY SCHOOL MAGAZINE FRONT COVER..

Basic use of fonts, not much

variety

Layout style is not

conventional and messy,

he masthead covers

image

Poor colours used, not a specific

scheme. They do no represent/

connote anything to do with school.Background on

image looks busy

and unprofessional

The colour and font

type clashes against

image making it hard to

understand and read

There are no many

cover lines to make it

look like conventional

and professional

magazine.

MY SCHOOL MAGAZINE CONTENTS PAGE (DRAFT)

Unconventional layout for

a contents page, doesn’t

look neat or ordered

Garish colours

Poor use of graphics

Non relatable colour

scheme

Not enough images

No indication that it is

for a school

magazine, poor theme

MY POP MAGAZINE..

Structured and ordered route of the

eye layout

Bright, enticing and

conventional colour

scheme

Clear and labelled main

cover storyNeat and ordered

page information.

Colour suited to story

and images

Conventional layout

Colour scheme that looks

feminine

Eye catching and

consistent masthead

Coventional long shot used

to portray the male models

SKILLS I’VE LEARNED..

New Terminology and further understanding of

their purposes (kicker, byline, cover lines)

The conventions and stereotypical features

within the genre of my magazine

How to represent my audience within the

features of my magazine (e.g images, colours)

New technology – such as Popplet and Prezi

Managing coursework deadlines

Expanding on statements to show my full

understandings
