Production Log 11

Today I started on the iconography of my magazine I'd like to create and the representational features. I chose to make my magazine an Indie magazine. Indie Pop artists such as Lana Del Rey and Paloma Faith inspired me to do this. I like the idea of making a magazine which is personal to me, so I can relate and enjoy it more. I decided that I'd like to have the magazine have a indie festival feel with cothing included.

In today's lesson I made a start on analysing 3 contents pages of current magazines. 

I managed to finish the whole of the first contents page analysis. This helped me so now I know exactly what needs to go on my contents page when it come to making my magazine. I liked this contents page as I thought it was stylish and current and feel I can use this as inspiration

I then started to do another contents page analysis in which I have yet to finish

In today's lesson we started on our Film poster analysis research to prepare for the making of our magazines. This is really helpful due to getting a feel for analysising magazines and gaining knowlage on what should be in a magazine when we start to make them. The front covers I chose to start analysising was Rolling Stones, Vibe and Q. These are all well known music magazines which contain all of the features needed in a magazine and are good examples I can gain insperation of for mine. I started to analyse Rolling Stones, and have so far done the 'masthead' analysis and have yet to do the rest.

In todays lesson I completely and successfully finished 'Haydon Daily' for my preliminary task. I  also completed evaluation for this task aswell. All I had to do in today's lesson to finish was do the rest of the contents page in which I had to add more pictures and fade the haydon stag to make the piece appear more modern. The evaluation had to be 500 words, mine was 574 words. in my evaluation I included what I did, and the reason for my choices. I also evaluated what I thought went well and what I could have done to improve which will help me when I start to do the real task.

In today's lesson, I partnered up with friend to take pictures for my school magazine which is called 'Haydon Daily'. I found this task incredibly fun while we had to go around the school and take both close up, and wide shots of each other for the cover and contents page. I also took various amounts of pictures of the school buildings and different departments so this gave opportunity to make up differant contents page headings related the pictures.

I then transferred the high quality pictures to the computer and imported them into InDesign which is the software I am using to create the magazine. My magazine is progressing very well with a masthead and subheadings already in place.

3rd of September 2014

In today's lesson we created a draft for a magazine in which is made for the school and is aimed at kids in Haydon School. We first sketched out a plan for the front cover of the magazine, including a masthead, large image and subheadings. I then went on to sketch out a contents page. These will both soon be scanned so it can be viewed on the computer. I then went on the computer to create a blog in which will hold all my work for AS Media. I now have to go out and take pictures for content on my magazine front cover and content page.
