Evaluation question 7

The things I have learnt going from the preliminary task to doing my final music magazine are the colour scheme is very important because this brings the full magazine together. The colours you choose is also important because the colour have to represent the type of magazine you are portraying and what type of audience will buy your magazine. The colours are also the thing what is meant to attract the audience because that is the first thing they look at. Another important thing I have learnt is the main front picture of your magazine is key to attracting people to read your magazine. I learned about what types of shots are the best for the front of a magazine like the close up is good and also the medium shot is good and to make sure that there is not a lot of blank space above the person you are taking the picture of. Another thing I have learnt is how to use Photoshop more effectively and how to use most of the tools right. Also using a lot of stories is good because it keeps the front cover interesting and that there is a lot more too look at. Another thing I have learnt is that the feature stories needs to stand out more than all of the other stories this is because it is most likely to be your double page spread what is one of the biggest stories in a magazine. I have found the preliminary task very useful to see how much I have developed and what I have learned doing this course.
