Magazine Draft

Production Log - 17th December 2013

In the past 2 lessons of media I have continued to work on my draft for my magazine. I have been using Indesign to create the layout of my magazine as well as using photoshop to edit the photo for my front cover. I have decided to use a close up shot of Charlotte for my front cover as this looks the most suitable for my genre of magazine. Once I had edited the photo in photoshop I put the image on my magazine in InDesign.

I have started to creatmy plan for my magazine using InDesign. Whilst making it I have included some of the text such as my magazine name, price, and pull quotes. Where I will have my images I have placed different colour boxes showing me that  a picture will be going here. I have used text boxes and put them in the correct places for where I will have my text, and also put the text in columns where I will have these. I will continue working on this in my lessons and will begin to add my artcles and pictures which I will edit using photoshop.

Yesterday I completed my photo-shoot. overall I think this went really well and I was able to get a wide range of different shots of my models for my magazine. I made sure that when I was taking the photos I took them portrait and also ensured the camera focuses properly. When doing my photo-shoot I found that the different outfits and poses worked really well allowing me to now have a wide range of shots to choose for my magazine. I also found that my main prop being the bubbles worked really well and gave me some really effective photos that would make my magazine look interesting to the reader. Whilst doing my photo-shoot I got someone to take a few photos of me taking the pictures of my models and also a couple of videos in which this shows that all the photos have been taken by me.

Production Log - Tuesday 3rd December

I have completed all my sketches for my magazine. When I come to make it on InDesign I will follow these sketches in order to make sure that my magazine looks professional and structured. I have booked in my photo-shoot which I will complete tomorrow.

Sketches

These are the sketches of my magazine. I will follow this lay out for my magazine in order to keep my magazine looking structured and professional. I believe that by doing these sketches for my magazine it will make me a lot more organsied when I come to make the magazine. This is because I would already have an initial idea of what I wanted to do for the magazine and therefore when designing it I would not have to start right from the beginning. Within these sketches I have shown each of the pages that will be included in my magazine and highlighted exactly what will be on the pages such as images, text and the article.
