Research for music magazine

This is part of my research for ideas of the fonts and colours and pictures I can possibly use for my own music magazine. I found many different music magazine ideas and the idea I am most fond of is the celebrity that it's concentrating about, covering up most of the front page. This helps sell to the audience, especially if the celebrity is well-known. This research is also helping with ideas for the name of my music magazine.

This HTML is the contents page of the 'We Love Pop' magazine. This was analysed by me and my group again using Prezi. We are now all used to using Prezi for analysis for anything.

This was the front cover analysed by me and my group using Prezi. This was my first experience using Prezi hoever, now I've analysed both the front page and the double page spread, I think I'm getting quite used to it.

This is the double page spread on the 'We Love Pop' magazine that was analysed by me and my group.

We Love Pop Magazine Analysis (Double-Page Spread)

This is another prezi me and my group made to analyse the double page spread on this magazine. This got me used to using prezi and gave me additional knowledge on what other things to add when making another prezi in the future.

We Love Pop Magazine Analysis (Front Cover)

This HTML shows the prezi done front cover of the 'We Love Pop' magazine that me and my group analysed. Using prezi makes it a whole lot easier to analyse and this is how it looked like when finished.

These are the pictures I took for my school magazine. These show the wonderful, happy atmosphere around in the school.

School Magazine front cover

After knowing how to use Photoshop properly, I made a School Magazine Front Cover. I learnt how to appeal to the audience even more by putting some of the text on the left side where it is shown if it's being sold at a shop. Adding the masthead and bar-code made in more professional.

Today, I learnt how to use photoshop properly. I learnt different techniques on how to change the text type and use different effects and transitions such as cut, contrast, brightness, and how to add and change the size of the image I put in the magazine.
I also learnt what to add in magazines to make it look more professional.
