Introduction

Welcome to my year 12 media portfolio, the task was to create a music magazine that would challenge or follow the conventions of a genuine music magazine. In preparation for this task a preliminary task was set to create a school magazine in order to get used to using various editing formats such as Photoshop. This then lead into further research for creating a more professional looking music magazine. My blog will show you the stages I went through to create my magazine, followed with an audience feedback video and evaluation. My finished product will be shown on the top posts of my blog.

Audience Feedback

Typography on my double page spread

I will ask the peers in my class which typography they prefer. 

Deciding on the background of my double page spread

These are the two different backgrounds i have created for my double page spread. I felt that the colored background lightened the page up, but I also felt it was very different from the house style i created in my magazine as my contents page has a white background. 

The white background, although plainer, suits the house style of my magazine and is also more suited to my target audience as it gives off a more mature look. I also felt that white suited the other colors I used on my double page spread such as blue and peach.
