Prezi On My Pitch (magazine proposal)

Working progress (flat plan)

In lesson today we have been making a flat plan this is to help us so that we can have an idea of what we might include in our contents page although we will not be making the whole magazine. This is my working progress and is yet to be finished. 

introduction on illustrator

Today in the lesson we learnt how to use illustrator, as we will be using illustrator to design our masthead. We played with different design elements as a member of the media departments came in to teach us how to use these design elements specifically. We did such thing like move the lettering  and also extort the lettering into different sizes, we can also add shapes.

This is colour adobe Tom also taught us how to use this on friday. color adobe has colours that we can't find as easy as you would on illustrator, at the bottom of the page underneath the colours there's a hex code which you can copy on to illustrator and it will give you the exact same colour that is shown on Color Adobe this is very covienant. 

Evaluation

Here I have both my front page and contents page as you can see. I have used simplistic colours and the colours also match the cover girl's hair (Rochelle) a student from the college.This is one of the reasons I used her to model for my magazine cover. Purple in different tones as well as black and white I think it Goes very well together and also it is a quick alternative to pick colours, you can just match your text to the colours already displayed, instead of using colours that will contrast the original colours. 

The demographic trend of the magazine is for the young population. The age group applies to those who are in college so this would be from 16-20. The gender type of the magazine is both male and female, this is because the purpose of the magazine is to inform students of the college so therefore anyone from that particular college can read the magazine.

Self Evaluation: I think that my Magazine looks some what proffessional, because it has elements of what a normal magazine would include from the masthead to the coverline etc. I have also recieve feedback from fellow students about my work.

Morgan:"i Really like the simplicity with the colour scheme, and the use of arrows indicating that the pictures relate to the words." 

Anieska:"I really like your colour scheme looks very professional.Your puff is very creative i have never seen a see through puff" 

 Fatss E:"I really like how your puff/flash is slightly see through and it suits the colour scheme. I also like how you have added small images of facebook insta etc because it makes your mag looks more professional. You could have added more cover lines."

Theses are comments taken from my blog, they are all positive feedback, all of the comments mention how they like the colour scheme and how my magazine looks proffesional. however  i did recieve some constructive feedback on how to would improve my front page. Fatss E: 'you could have added more cover lines' and I  would also agree in order to improve my college magazine. Apart from that there is nothing that I would change specifically unless otherwise. 

 Three key points for development when producing my main task which will be my music magazine:

Sketch of magazine from cover

I tried to sketch an idea of what my magazine may possible look like . As you can see I have sketched an image of a girl, girls are normally tend to get used on a front cover of a magazine therefore I have decided to traditionally use a girl. I have also included some cover line which are always included on the front page of a magazine 

completed content page

work-in-progress: college mag contents page

preliminary task: Lsc magazine (front page)

Here is a jpeg copy of my front page magazine which i designed on photoshop, as you can see i have included a masthead, various cover lines around the page and a barcode. I have included all the design element listed in the assignment brief. I will show my front page magazine to students in the college so I can receive feedback for my evaluation

researched college magazines

Here are are some college magazine that came up when I was researching college magazine, just so i could have an idea of what kind of template i would used to design my college magazine which i will later upload on blogger. As you can you see there are many of them which have women as there front page cover and they are also very colourful.
