Making Magazine

I have finished my final draft of my magazine despite the fact I had a few problems along the way. I had a big problem when the practice front cover I had made got deleted some how so I had to redo it and it wasnt as good as the one I had made originally but I didnt have enough time to make it any better. I have also done the front cover however I struggled to choose a colour scheme and worked hard trying to get it right. There are still a few issues which I will need to work on before the final deadline such as the main image because I had a few problems and a lack of time with the pictures, so I might need to work on them.
I didnt have so many problems with the rest of the magazine and as with the front cover the main issue is the images I used because I dont think they really fit the genre of magazine I'm making which is obviously a big problem but I will wait and see what my teacher says. Another thing was that when I printed out on of my double page spreads the writing was quite hard to read and I probably need to change that as well but thats easy enough to do.
The next thing I must do is all the evaluation work for the magazine, explaining why I did all the things I did and the impact that what I did will have on my audience. Then once I get my work back from the teacher I must make the changes that she suggests and change anything that I would like to change.

Making Magazine

These last few weeks I have been making my practise front cover and contents page and my actual magazine. I struggled at first to make my practise front cover because I didn't understand photoshop, however I am beginning to understand it now and I have finished my practise front cover and contents page (which I did on Publisher).
I have also done a lot towards the real magazine I am making, I have done one of the double page spreads which is a review of different songs including one from my made up band and I've started the second double page spread which is an interview with my made up band. I have done the contents page as well, however I have not yet started my front cover and I need to get the image of my made up band sorted, so there is still a lot to do and the finished magazine needs to be in, in just over a week. Below are my Practice Front Cover and Contents Page;
