Weekly Updates - Week 5

This week I started my research and planning for my music magazine. Now I had my information to design my magazine, I went about researching into different magazines and looking at the appearance and design, then I went about implementing these things into my research and planning.

Preliminary Task - Front Cover & Contents Page + Evaluation.

Overall I think my preliminary task is fairly basic, I could improve in the next task, by improving my Adobe Photoshop CS3 skills to make progress. These skills could prevent me from designing work that is pixellated in the future, so that all text and pictures are visible and are not blurry. During my next task I hope to further my skills of Photoshop from basic to advanced so that I can produce a better standard of work. I learnt the basics of Photoshop a few years ago, teaching myself to design website layouts etc and I hope to further these skills in my next task to create innovative and creative work.

Music Magazine Brainstorm

Weekly Updates - Week 4

This week I designed a brainstorm for my music magazine. I brainstormed my title ideas, font colour and size ideas for my magazine, and also my colour scheme and also the positioning of text and imagery.

Weekly Updates - Week 3

This week I went about designing my preliminary task, which was to design a school magazine, front cover and contents page. I did this on Adobe Photoshop CS3. I used my basic Photoshop skills to design it, and hopefully these skills can be a stepping stone which can help me design my main music magazine more efficiently.
