Reflection & Main Task

For the last couple lessons I have been evaluating the different criteria which determines my overall mark for the task.
I feel that when I do illustrate work on blogger I need to go into more depth and detail when explaining what has been done.
Also I have realized that I have  had problems with time management. Most of the work that I have handed in was either incomplete or overdue. I can improve my time management by completing each task on the day that it was set. Another problem why this has happened is because I did not put any effort into each task that was set or using blogger.
I need to be updating my blogger more frequently so that I can use it as a guideline for when I will be creating my music magazine.

Development of Magazine


This is the first stage of using InDesign, the first stage of using InDesign is setting up the grid lines in the correct order to layout the text and image correctly.
As you can see from the images that I have provided I added the background and the title of the magazine that I am creating.
I have used a reddish colour for the heading that has been used, I have edited the background image using a image manipulation application called Photoshop.
By editing the image I was able to get a professional looking background from using the techniques that I learnt during the photography lesson.
I made the image have a lens flare and blurred the background which was effective. 
The model that was used is looking directly at the camera which connects with the reader persuading the audience to purchase this magazine.


This is now getting closer to the finished piece. 
I have added the main headings, the background images and other features.
I have used a  variety of fonts however the house colours that I have chosen to use are red, white, black and purple.
I am pleased with the progress that I made creating magazine covers, however to improve this front cover I need to plan the layout in more detail choose simple fonts which will make my magazine look more professional.
