Q7 - Media Evaluation
Looking back at your preliminary task (the school/college magazine task/short continuity film sequence), what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from that to your full product?
Preliminary (Left), Full Product (Right).
As you can see from the images above my finished product is notably better than my preliminary that I did in class. At the time I did my prelim, my knowledge of Photoshop and other creative software was thin and this is reflected through my less than average editing (Shown in the top left). Importing new images to and from Photoshop allowed me to discover new utilities within other software such as PowerPoint. The purpose of my prelim tasks (Jarvis Cocker, The Simpsons) served me mostly as experimental and educational work to help me create my final product.The positioning and appearance of sell lines and the masthead (as you can see) has greatly improved as the font has been made bold and placed onto a white background to make it more noticeable. My main image has also been greatly improved with an eye-line match shot to connect itself to the audience and the use of a guitar as a prop to anchor it to the magazines genre. It was only when creating my final product that I discovered how to effectively use layering, this can be seen as my model is in the foreground of my masthead whereas my main sell line overlays his stomach. I gave my masthead a shadow through Photoshop's layer 'Blending Options' to make it stand out more visually.
I discovered when creating my product that the internet is a vital part of communicating and advertising to the audience. Without sites such as Facebook, YouTube etc. it would be difficult and probably costly to share and 'distribute' my magazine.

Contents Page Deconstructions
Contents Page Deconstructions
This contents page follows the rule of thirds with the main index placed on the left and the main image (taking up three quarters of the page on the right) being split beneath it. The faint lines splitting the contents are barely visible. The colour scheme of this contents page is red, white and black which is typical of a rock/altern rock magazine. The two images are anchored on the page by their captions telling the reader which page to find them on.
The sell line 'It's a riot!' captures the readers attention with its bold white text over the red box while also advertising Paramore's album of the name 'Riot!'. Images on the page are anchored by their page numbers and a short caption. The colour palette of images is quite dull containing plenty of black and grey, this allows the brighter colours such as red and white to show more and stand out. Eye-line match photos are used (like in front cover images)
