Production of school magazine and contents page and Evaluation.

This is my finished product.

This is my finished product.

My preliminary magazine front cover and contents page follow the conventions of a real media product by me using the correct conventions such as, a title and a main image, images to attatch to the cover lines, regular and exclusive titles for different cover lines in my magazine. I also makesure that my magazine follows the right codes and conventions for my target audience and genre of  a school magazine. The technologies i used to construct my magazine front cover was photoshop. This is a good programme for things like magazines as it has alot of variety of tools too make your magazine look good. For the conentnts page i used a programme called Quarkxpress which isnt as good as photoshop as it limits the tools you can use on your product. The reason we used this programme was because it was industry standard and was a taster for our main product. In photoshop my strengths were exsperience as i remembered alot from previous use of it and understood it. My weaknesses is that sometimes it can get very complicated and can jumble up my texts and images. Quarkxpress was alright, my strengths were that i am good with programmes like these but however this programme was limited and got complicated when trying to import from other programmes to make my magazine better. My front cover strengths again are that i am experienced in Magazine product as i acheived an A from previous work. My weaknesses was that my colour i chose wasnt really thought about and i should of tried to connect the colours to the Magazine genre. My contents isnt as good as i could do as it is quite plain and boring, it could be made better with more pictures and more colour.
