Evaluation Question 7

Nisha Sharma's Slidely by Slidely Slideshow

This Slidely shows the comparison between my school magazine and my music magazine. You can see how much I've learn when creating magazines. I've learnt about layout and where everything should be placed to look its best, This also includes the code and conventions. I've also learn about how emphasis of fonts and colour can effect the look on the magazine, and how by making something bigger and closer together will create a professional and styled look.
One thing that i developed an understanding for was aiming at the correct audience, and representing the artists correctly through the image(What she is wearing, her pose, colours.) This was the biggest challenge, i feel like i have accomplished this. I have also improved on making things more professional and how to keep things the same throughout the magazine.  Comparing my music magazine to my school magazine shows that my skills have improved throughout. This is shown by the quality of my products. When producing my school magazine I had very little knowledge of how much thought and planning goes into the creation which is why the quality is so poor. For my music magazine I researched in to real existing music products which you could buy from shops, this helped a lot.Creating mock-ups before my final product helped improve my skills so my product could compete against the real ones. The most important thing when producing a magazine is knowing your target audience. So I created a questionnaire which could help me do this so my magazine was suitable towards them. My school magazine was very basic and was not thought through well enough. The photos were of a less quality and included unwanted backgrounds which I could not remove at the time because of my skills. The text is very large and everything is emphasised making it messy and the structure very hard to follow. On the contents the text is far too large and only contains 4 different topics which is very bad quality and is not fit for on the shelves.  From my research i knew which coverlines to include so it was suitable for my target audience. The important text is more emphasised and there is an organised structure to help my readers.
