On the left are images of my final music magazine cover and my college magazine cover which I created at the start of the year. I feel that my media skills have progressed a lot since then by looking at these two pieces. The first reason for this is that, from looking at my college magazine, I can see that I used a simple font and did no photo editing at all in the making of the magazine; also, there is a large amount of blank space on my college magazine while the sticker and bar code take up too much. I can see that even on my college magazine I used a three colour scheme however there is much missing from that magazine which I have implemented into my music magazine. From the beginning of the year to now, I have learnt about what makes a magazine and all of the stuff which needs to be on there and I have learnt a lot about how to edit images using photoshop which is extremely helpful in the media. When I first came into media at the start of the year, I had no experience of creating a magazine so my original magazine was very basic. After researching many different magazines I found out that much more was needed. The cover lines on my college magazine
colour clash with the photo and are hard to read and they also cover up some of the photo and are poorly positioned. Many features of the college magazine were very simple such as the fonts used; especially for the title. The font for my music magazine is typical of a rock magazine. Although my college magazine font is much more simple, using a font similar to the font used on my rock magazine would not suit it therefore maybe a simple font was more appropriate. The background on my college magazine is a simple black background whereas I have used a gradient on my newer magazine. Also, my model photo on my rock music magazine has been edited so that the background is visible whereas on my college magazine; because the photo has not been edited, there is unnecessary space being taken up by the photo.
