Preliminary

QuestionsTask

What was difficult and what was easy?

I found most of it quite easily to be honest. I was able to get my pictures easily, I found it easy to make and didn't cause me much trouble. The only thing that was difficult was getting it down on paper. I had a clear idea on how I wanted it to look, and took me some time to get it right,

but over all I am happy with the finished project.

Would it have been easier with research?

I did do research for this task and I did find that it helped. I feel like that if I hadn't of done any research I would

have struggled with the design and look of the magazine, and how to make it fit the genre. I am also doing research for the Music Magazine so I am clearer with what to do.

What did you do to attract the audience?

I mainly went for anything to do with the school. I used school based subject for the headlines and pictures, and made sure that it

has students involved in the pictures. I also used the school colours and made sure it was in link with the school as much as possible. I felt like this is all was needed for the audience- clear

connection to school, informative headings etc.

What have I learned about the software that I

have used?Before I started this task I had never used the Photoshop software. At the start I found it very difficult to get my head

round it but , over the time I have used it, I have learned new trick and techniques that I can use in my music magazine.

What have I learned to help me excel in the main task?

In lessons I have learned a wide range of things. I have learned how magazines use different techniques to gain and attract

their audiences, I have learned how to structure the magazine and how to make it fit its purpose. This has helped me to have

a greater understanding in what to do in the main task, and how to make it the best I possibly can.
