Hey there! :)

Dear Moderator,

Welcome to my AS media blog! I've created a rock music magazine cover, contents page and double page spread and this is my blog to show you the finished magazine as well as all the research and planning I put into making my magazine and the evaluation I did after I completed my magazine. I hope you find it all interesting! :)

Below are links to my research and planning, completed magazine and evaluation questions.

Research and Planning - Bohemian Rock Magazine So Far


Above is the double page spread for my rock music magazine 'Bohemian'. I feel I have now completed my double page spread after spending numerous hours creating it!


Above is the contents page for my rock magazine 'Bohemian'. I need to add more page names and numbers to the list on the contents page to make it more condensed and look more professional.

The cover is still under construction and needs a lot more work doing to it.

Research and Planning - Tutor Feedback Response

Referring to the feedback my tutor gave me on my rock music magazine so far, I would like to justify my use of the cover artists on my contents page. I wrote a reply under the initial comment, however I couldn't put pictures in my reply to prove what I was saying was true.

Picture proof: March 2005 Rock Sound Magazine with Green Day as the cover artists and on the contents page (also, the artists do not change their clothes on any of the images on/in the magazine)

Research and Planning - Bohemian Rock Magazine So Far

Contents Page


The final picture I took to complete my contents page was unfortunately blurred and so I need to retake the photograph and put it onto my contents page to complete it.

Double Page Spread





 I need to add my article onto my double page spread, add page numbers, other photographs and a little cartoon I made, then my double page spread will be complete.

Cover


I need to do a lot more work on my cover to complete it, including: adding articles, a bar code and a main feature.

Comments and feedback are much appreciated :)

Research and Planning - Magazine So Far


I intended on completing my contents page today, however the final 2 pictures I took for my contents page have been deleted off the camera I took them on by another student and so they will have to be re-taken.


My magazine cover so far.

Research and Planning - Serif Fonts

Ive been looking at suitable fonts for my double page spread article and found that serif fonts are the most appropriate as they are easier to read.
