Production Log - 06/03/14

After looking at the final draft of my magazine I got one more set of feedback and decided to change some aspects of the magazine. On the front cover I wanted the image to go over the top of the masthead but below the banner at the top of the page. I also wasn't sure about the image I had on the front of the magazine and therefore have decided to change this and edit it more using Photoshop. I wanted the picture to look more professional looking and therefore when I cut the image out in Photoshop I will focus more on her hair. I will also add eyelashes like I did in the previous image. I also will make the banner at the top of the page smaller as well as the bottom of the page, and where her name is at the bottom of the page I will change this to centre aligned. on the first double page spread I will also make the image black and white and will re-edit this in Photoshop to make it more professional looking.  In addition to this I will change the layout of the second page and move her name up to the top of the page with the quote next to the image.

Magazine Draft


Production Log - 4th March 2014

In todays lesson I decided that I should make some last minute changes to my magazine. I decided that I should change the font on some of my magazine. When interviewing Charlotte I changed her name to pink keeping to the house style of the magazine.

I also made everything she said italics making it seem like she is talking. I also changed 'interviewer' to Simply Pop making the magazine more personal.

In addition to this I have gone over my blog and made sure everything is on my blog which is required. For my evaluation I went through each question adding more detail and relating back to the theorys I have learn't about.

Audience Feedback

To gain audience feedback I was able to present my magazine to the class. I had my magazine on the board and talked about it in detail explain why I had done things and what my opinions on things were. As the purpose of this was to gain feedback for my magazine and therefore I was able to get the rest of the class to contribute in my discussion. I was able to get the classes opinions on different things I had done and the things that I was unsure able I was able to find out what the rest of the class thought and then able to change this. I also made a audience feedback questionnaire which I gave out at the end of my presentation which had a range of different questions which would allow me to see what I had done well and what needed improving. Here is an example of one of the audience feedback sheets filled out.

When I had completed my magazine I created an online question in which this would allow me to gain more feedback for my magazine. I got 5 people to complete my questionnaire which would be enough to gain information on what I need to improve. This is my results:

For the first question I am able to see that  people found the image the most attractive and the sellines the leas attractive.



For the second question this is the comments I received:





For the third question I am able to see that the 3rd double page spread was the favourite.

From the 5th question I can see that everyone would by my magazine.
