Double Page Spread- Interview with Lauren

I have started my double page spread. So far I have added the title and the main image.

magazine research

Here I have researched front covers and annotated them. I did this by asking why questions. Below is threee magazine covers that I have researched.

contents page

This my contents page almost finished I just need to add a few more pictures on.

Music Magazine

This is what my final magazine did look like, but now I have changed it in number of ways to make it look more professional.

Checklist

Have I completed my research on magazine covers and updated it to my blog?

Yes I have completed my research on the magazine covers but I just need to take a picture of them and add them into my blog and write a little bit about them.

Have I completed my school magazine cover and blogged about how I created it and what I learnt form it?

Yes I have completed my school magazine cover and blogged about it. I haven’t shown how I created it though. While doing the school magazine I think it helped me to understand what magazines look like. Also I think that my final school magazine worked well in the end. My personal opinion is that I prefer my schools magazine a lot more than my music magazine as it is a lot more appealing.

Have I completed my music magazine cover and blogged about all of the processes/choices I went through to create it?

I have completed most of my music magazine, but all I need to do now is just to take some pictures for the section at the bottom of the magazine so that my magazine is complete and also so that then I can add a picture of my final front cover onto my contents page.

Have I completed my research pages and uploaded it to my blog?

Yes I have completed my research pages and I have uploaded them to my blog.

Have I completed my school contents page and blogged about how I created it and what I have learnt from it?

Yes I have finished my schools contents page and I have added it into my blog. I think by doing the schools contents page it made me prepared for when I had to start my music magazine.

Have I completed my music magazine contents page and blogged about all of the processes/choices I went through to create it?

I have done most of my music magazine contents page there is just a few pictures that I need to add and also I need to change the font colours as I don’t think they will appeal to my target audience.

Contents Page

So far this is what I have done on my contents page.
I need to take a few pictures for the coverstory to go at the side and change some of the colours around then I am nearly done.

Music Magazine contents page

So far this is what I have done on my contents page I need to change the font of the title as I don't think it really matches the style of the magazine and the age group. Also I need to finish off the titles of each page and put the rest of them onto the contents page.

Flatplan

I started to do my music flatplan. My magazine has a 100 pages in total including the front, contents page and back. The reason that I have done a flatplan is in order to see what goes where and if I need to change anything, or if anything is in the wrong place and also to see how many pages are filled up with true stories and adverts etc. The main reason that you need to have a flatplan is so that you are able to see if you have missed anything out or got anything muddled up.
