Question 7

When I first created my school magazine I did not have very much experience with using photoshop as you can see here the front cover for my school magazine is very simplistic as there is no bright colours or fonts to attract the reader as well the picture could have been of people rather than a building as would make the magazine appeal more to people, from creating both magazines I have realised that the magazine front cover is very important in a magazine being successful as this is the first thing the reader sees and could potentially affect whether they buy it or not, as you can see in comparison my music magazine has had much more detail put into because at the start of the year I had no knowledge about how to use photoshop since then I have improved much more because I now know how to edit in photoshop

Overall i am very pleased with my music magazine as i think it has turned out well after learning how to edit in photoshop and i can see the progress i have made since my school magazine which didn't turn out very well because of my lack of skill in photoshop and the fact it did follow the conventional style of a magazine but i think my music magazine has been a success after do much research into music magazines which i took my inspiration from such as NME and Q magazine which helped me get a better understanding of what a music magazine should be like.
