Mood board

From doing this task and creating my mood board it gave me a good idea on what ideas I can implement into my magazine and what style I am looking to achieve

Dragon's Den Pitch

Doing this task helped me understand the market I will be aiming my magazine towards as well as giving me ideas on what pictures I will be using and what I will be featuring in my magazine.
I later went on to change my style of magazine from rock to drum and bass. I used the concepts from this task to help further my understanding of different styles I could use but had to change several as there was no overlap of genres.

Thinking of a concept

Doing this task helped me create a concept for my magazine, it gave me an area to compile all of my thoughts and ideas for the magazine. It was helpful because once I had come up with one idea then I could just use that one to come up with more ideas and eventually I had a good idea of what I want to do for the magazine.
I later went on to change my ideas from rock to that of drum and bass but used the concepts and ideas I had compiled to my advantage and used those ideas to stem more ideas but instead of into rock I thought more about how to turn these initial ideas into a drum and bass magazine.

Picture Analysis

This task taught me about which shots are characteristic of my magazine genre and how to implement them effectively. It taught me about when it is the correct time to use one shot over the other and as such I have improved my knowledge of shot angles, when to use them and how to use them.

Alignment Task

This task helped me develop ideas about what a template of a front cover, contents page, double page spread looks like and how to create one myself.

Content and double page spread analysis

This task taught me a lot about what is common in each magazine, what the constants are within magazines which will allow me to better construct my own magazine later on. I learned a lot about the necessities for certain pages and what made certain contents pages or double page spreads stand out from the others, this will be key in making my own design original and interesting.
