Preliminary magazine task Evaluation

I worked with Hannah to complete the preliminary task and we worked vey well together. In order to finish the work on time we shared the work evenly between us. In order to create the magazine we planned the sequence by producing a draft magazine. This was helpful as if we had to change anything it could be erased easily. We found inspirationfrom other magazines such as q magazine and vogue. This helped us because we could look at what had to be included on the front cover and on the contents, before we started. It also showed us what looked good and what didnt look good. People wouldnt buy the magazine if it didnt stand out to them. We used Photoshop elements to create our magazine. Using photoshop helped us to make our magazine look proffesional. We were able to use a wide range of fonts and we were also able to upload our own pictures and add them to our magazine, so that we could add our own personal style to it. Me and Hannah were confident enough at using photoshop becasue of previously using it for our re-created magazine cover. We had to take into account the 3-colour pallette rule as most magazines have to follow this rule. We also had to take into account what sort of colours, fonts and pictures would attract the reader. I think that our magazine went really well and we hardly had any problems compared to the problems we had creating our film preliminary task. If i had to create the magazine again i would probably change the font and the colour of the font. I would make it alot more bold and vibrant, so that the reader could read it abit better and so it would attract a wider range of people. This task has made me feel alot more confident about using photoshop as i was able to practice most areas of it. Now if i were to do this for my foundation coursework over creating a film, i would be able to get on with it without not knowing what to do and so it would save alot of time.
