This week I had to learn how to use photoshop so it will be easier for me when I have to make my actual front cover. Photoshop is very hard to use and as I have never used it before I struggled to get used to using it and finding all the tools, it is quite complicated and you need a lot of patience for it which I really do not have!
The next task was to design a practice front cover and contents page, the front cover had to be done on photoshop and the contents page could be done on either photoshop or publisher. I have done my contents page on publisher, but I have not done much of my front cover yet because I was unable to take a picture with a still camera, so that is my task this weekend. I have also got to do some research in to articles to help me decide what mine 
will be like and I have got to design my magazine by drawing it to help me consider how I want the layout of my magazine to look.
This is my contents page analysis and images of the contents pages I analysed:
This magazine front cover is the one which was top when I asked people to select which magazine front cover they preferred, therefore I should try to make my magazine front cover similar to this one.
I haven't posted in a while because of half term but there I have done a lot of work. During half term, I analysed four magazine articles from different types of magazines so I could see a wide variety of articles aimed at different age groups, therefore I can see what I need to do for my magazine. I also got my front cover analysis back so I now know what I need to do to improve it, this is something I've got to do.
I've also got to do my analysis for two contents pages and two adverts from music magazines, this is something I must do soon so I do not fall behind with my work because there is enough work due in already, without me making it harder for myself by keep forgetting to do this and ending up with a lot of work to do at the end. I want my work to be the best it can be so I must try not to fall behind with deadlines.
This week I have been doing a questionnaire and I have been asking different people from different age groups for their opinion. The majority of people who I asked were within my target audience so I can find out what they like to see in a music magazine, but I also asked a few people who are older and a few people who are younger so I could compare them and see how I should do different things when I do my magazine. I have also analysed my findings and put them in to graphs so that I know the different things I should make sure I do when I make my magazine, so that it will appeal to my target audience.
That is what my finished questionnaire looked like.
