Teachers comments on draft.

The title ALT looks like it says ALTL because of the bar code should be placed on the other side of the page. The picture needs to be re-sized and the shadow showing doesn't work and the bar code is too big and fat need to make sure the bar code is the same width as the letters and numbers, add a date and price. The font works well, nice choice.

There is too much shadow in the image and 'The Saints' either needs moving or removing off the page and all the black space doesn't work at the moment. Spelling mistakes need changing and there is too much text below the cover, but try re-sizing all the text. Add more pages and don't just list the names, name the pages, give contents page a page number.

 All the article text is on the same level us drop capitals and make text smaller and include more. Create name of article author and the page number it too big. Put the pull quote in the article mention who photographed the image.

My comments on other students blogs.

Draft Magazine Student Comments (Coursework)

Edited test shots for magazine

These were the best images from my test shots, i edited them all into black and white but then played around with the brightness and contrasts levels of each image. I liked the black and white look as it looks more professional and sophisticated but thought it suited my simplistic magazine style. The photos them self are all really simple with the white back ground looking at the camera or in a different direction but looking pretty serious as i want my magazine to be taken seriously. This edited images will be used for my draft design of my magazine.

Test shots for magazine.

phillips_chloe's photostream on Flickr.

These are my test shots for my draft of my magazine. Most of these images i don't think are very good because i had only one lighting, not all the models i wanted to take photos of came to the shoot and the cameras shutter was slow so some of them look blurred but they are a starting point. I will be taking more images that will be better and properly used for my real final design magazine.

Weekly target.

This week i need to plan ideas for my photo shoot for my draft, play around with ideas and insertional photographers photos and modelling then do my photo shoot which i will need to place all images taken on flickr and begin editing and playing around with black and white, brightness levels and colour to improve my photos quality. Then place images onto my draft to complete my draft design to hand in for the end of this week.

Magazine Article Draft

Weekly target.

My target for this week is to create my band profile from my research i have found, then start drafting ideas for magazine designs and layouts complete all mock up designs on paper and designing a pretend photo shop version with pretend images and text found online, just to start playing around and showing potential ideas. Possible design and survey to help with research for my magazines tarts direct from the audience of my magazine and respond to any comments on my blog from teachers or other students also comment back on their blogs to help them with improvements. I need to start writing and finishing my article draft with inspiration from magazines like clash and ID, their article language and style. I even need to start preparing and researching for my first photo shoot for my magazine draft.
