Evaluation Question 7

Construction
1. Photography
  1. I learnt how to effective use an SLR camera in a professional studio setup.
  2. I learnt how to adjust the stutter speed to match the flash of the 3 point lighting setup.
  3. This is a skill I developed when I compare my Prelim product to my final product
  4. For my prelim product I used my phone to take the image just in a room rather then studio.
2. Final Product
  1. On my Final product I included various different images on my magazine pages including different image shots, like extreme close ups and long shots
    1. On my prelim product I only used one image that was just a close up. This showed no skill. On the contents the image is slightly flatted also, this is not professional practice.
  2. I learnt how to arrange the layout of my front cover effectively making certain aspects of the front cover, like the mast head, stand out.
    1. Compared to my final product, my prelim product looks very weak, non of the images or text stand out or look professional.
  3. I also learnt how to edit text using drop shadows, adding outer lines and using a variety of fronts from sources other then what was already on the computer.
    1. My Prelim Product only uses very simple text that is found on photoshop already pre installed, the text isn't very bold and the text is only in black.
  4. A skill i developed was the ability to edit the settings on photos to eliminate shadows and brighten up images. This skill was useful to sharpen images up also.
    1. On my prelim I didn't spend anytime editing my images so they were put on the cover and contents as i took them. The image I used was too dark so could have done with being brightened.
  5. I also learnt how to effectively cut out certain parts of images to delete the background so that the images and text could be layered effectively so that the spaces of the images werent not lost
    1. On my prelim product it is obvious that I have not cut out any images meaning that some of the text overlaps over the image.
Research and Planning
1. Genre Research
  1. For my Genre research I researched into the Indie Genre, this allowed me to know what to include in my magazine (like the kind in models and there fashion) and how to design it (using different fonts).
    1. For my prelim product I did no genre research so didnt know what to include in the magazien and what images to use
2. Textual Analysis
  1. For my textual analysis I analyzed a professional product, of a music magazine, to see the different feature of a real magazine so I could recreate a professional looking magazine.
    1. For my prelim product I did not analys a real college magazine to know the features I needed to include to make a proffessional product.
3. Institutional Research
  1. For my institutional research I looked into real producers of magazines to see if i could fit my magazine into a portfolio of a realt magazine producer. This helped me to think about the audience for my magazine and how my magazine would fit into a feal instiution. It also help me think about what I needed to include in my magazine.
    1. For my preliminary product I did not do any instiutional reseach meaning my prelim product would not be as proffessional as my final product
4. Magazine Content Research
  1. I also researched into the contents of a proffessional Indie music magazine. This allowed me to know the features and layout of an Indie Music Magazine i needed to include in my final product to make an proffessional product.
    1. I did not look through a real proffessional college magazine to know what features to include in my prelim product.
