Production Log: Friday 21st December

In today's lesson I completed my magazine draft. On my second page of my article I split it in half horizontally as I wanted to have pictures going across the page. I had seen a double page spread like this in a real magazine.

On my last page I have used a photo of one of my models and created a fact file with one of her quotes that she says in the article. I have chosen this image as I liked the background and I thought that by editing the photo to black and white will make it a lot more professional and stand out more.

In today's lesson I finished one of my pages for my double page spread. I have split the page into two and on one side I have a long shot of both of models together outside peeking round the corner. I choose this image as it is out in the open and I hadn't already used a picture which was taken outside. Also with this picture you can see all the leaves on the floor which looks really nice and brings a nice feeling to the image.

In today's lesson I realized that I had approximately one week left till I had to hand in my draft magazine. This meant that I needed to get on with my work quite quickly as I still have my double page spreads to do and finish my contents page. After flicking through Q magazine in last lesson I noticed that in every contents page there is a band and artist index. Therefore I have included this in my magazine. I began to list a few pop artists and bands. Luckily for me I am interested in the pop genre so I knew a lot of pop artists that I could include. 

My Band and Artist Index

In today's lesson I continued to look at websites and began to look at existing magazine contents pages. I felt that I didn't have much inspiration which is why I was struggling to complete my contents page. I found it hard to complete as I also didn't have any pictures to use. But then when I got home I remembered that I had taken picture from previous concerts and gigs and I had an upcoming concert in February for One Direction. This meant that I could have these pictures as some of the features in my magazine.

In today's lesson I continued with my contents page.  I began to look at different music websites such as Billboard, 4Music and hit40uk. This was to see what kind of artist gossip they talk about and how they grab the readers eye. This gave me inspiration on how I should word my contents and to make the important bits stand out. This could be done by writing in capital letter or even  by highlighting one of the words in a different font.
