LO4 - Final Magazine

LO3 - Updated production plan

I made changes to my production schedule because I realised that I would need more time to produce the articles for the magazine. I spent less time taking photographs and creating the documentation for the photo-shoot than I expected, so I used this time to create original content for the magazine as well as ensuring that it included all the conventions of a amazing magazine. In order to check that it did fit the conventions of a gaming magazine, I compared my magazine (Delta Magazine) to the Official Xbox magazine.

LO3 - Magazine comparison and research

I decided to compare my magazine (Delta Magazine) with Xbox Magazine. I did this in order to make sure that I was using the typical conventions of a magazine and ensure that the magazine would have some familiarity with readers based on the layout.

Self reflection: Work to complete

Work to complete

In todays lesson I will be working on Unit 14, ensuring that I have completed the magazine. I have fully completed 7 of my 8 pages. I had finished but changed my mind about the advert page as I decided it didn't meet the standards of the rest of the magazine.

Since I have made this change, this is what I need to do:

1. Create a contents page for the magazine.
2. Screen record editing images in Adobe Photoshop.
3. Screen record using Adobe InDesign to piece the magazine together.

Photoshop: (00:00-00:57)
I used Adobe Photoshop to create the layout of the page and add the images that I had taken on a previous photo-shoot. I also edited images to increase the contrast and add colours and effects to them so they would stand out on the page more.

InDesign: (00:57-02:08)
Then I transferred the .psd (Photoshop document) file into Adobe InDesign so that I could add text and begin to place the articles onto the contents page. Then I changed the colours and fonts to suit the house-style of my magazine and make it fit in with all the other pages I have also produced.
