5. Reflections & Feedback What would you do differently next time? I would do many things differently next time. Next time I would make sure that I structure my time well so that I would not miss any deadlines. I would also attend the Media Studies after college sessions at least twice a week to help with my knowledge of Adobe Photoshop and InDesign. I would make sure that if I did not understand or know something I would ask for help so I could understand. What kind of feedback did you get that might influence you? From my evaluation and feedback given by my target audience there are quite a few things that I would change. Firstly, I got some feedback that my front cover somehow looked like a poster – this is because the cover lines are in line, same font, same colour and sizes. Next time, I would change the fonts of the different cover lines and let my main story be bold and bigger so it would stand out from the rest. Secondly, I evaluated that my contents page did not have a professional look. It did not look like and was not similar to content pages of my research, therefore, next time to get a professional look I will section the contents of the magazine to different categories – this will also be user friendly. Feedback showed that the image that I used on my contents page was too big and it needed more pictures. Next time I would use a few more pictures, which will appeal to my target audience. What aspects of your understanding of Adobe Photoshop and InDesign do you need to improve? I started this course with no understanding of Adobe Photoshop and InDesign. To date, I have a basic knowledge on how to use this programs. I am now able to edit a photo in Adobe Photoshop and edit text in Adobe InDesign however, I will need to improve on this knowledge.
6. The music genre of my music magazine is: Genre? The genre of my music magazine is Gospel which is associated with Christianity. Chosen title? The title of my music magazine is Genesis. I felt this would be an appropriate name for my music magazine as Gospel is associated with Christianity, I wanted the title to reflect this link so the target audience will associate the title with this as well. Therefore as Genesis has religious connotations (first book of Christians holy book – the bible), the title is then linked with this idea which is linked to Gospel.
7. Research: As part of research for this project, I studied two Gospel magazines which are shown below: Gospel Truth Gospel USA
