1. For this task I worked with Luke again, with him focussing on the magazine front cover whilst I focussed on the contents page. I think we worked well together as we both helped each other come up with styles, colours and fonts etc so that the front cover and contents page would look good together and we both had different ideas that we could use in our magazine.
2. We planned the sequence by drawing a draft of the layout that we wanted our pages to look like and came up with ideas of stories and features that we could include in our magazine. We looked at a few magazine covers that helped us to get an idea of what works and what doesn't on certain covers.
3. To complete this task we used Photoshop Elements, which allowed us to edit and adjust our magazine to how we wanted, using a variety of styles and texts that we could include on our magazine and it helped us edit our magazine easily to how we felt it should look.
4. Whilst doing this project we had to take into account what pictures we could use and whether it would attract our main audience and whether the photos related to the magazine's theme. We also had to take the colours in our pictures into account so that we could fit the background with them and we didn't have a clash.
5. I think our magazine cover was quite successful although we could have done alot better. I think our colours worked well with each other as we felt it suited the genre of the magazine as it was black and white and we had a magazine relating to performing arts. Although in some ways I feel we could have brightened it up abit to help make it more appealing to the buyer. If we had to do this task again I would have changed the layout of some aspects of the magazine as sometimes I felt that both pages seemed abit cluttered with the writing and we could make it look better with re-arranging the writing and the pictures.
6. From completing this task I have learnt how to use Photoshop Elements alot better then I could before and it has helped me to see what it would be like to create a magazine in the future, for example if I choose to do a magazine cover for my foundation coursework instead of the film opening. I think that as it was my first time at attempting to create my own magazine I did quite well although I definately feel I could have improved if I spent more time focussing on how I wanted the magazine to turn out.
