1. AS Media Evaluation Media Coursework Music Magazine Name - Saif Mohammed Lambe Candidate Number - 5290

5. 1, I decided to place my title in the same place as the NME magazine because it looks nice and effective and stand out. 2, I chose to put my image on the opposite side however because I thought it looked better due to the angle of the photo looking directly at you. 3, I made my writing overlap slightly on the image and behind image 2, to show more effects as the NME version looks very small. 4, I placed my introduction paragraph at the top rather than near the writing so it looks more interactive and not all in one area. 4, I also added a ‘quote’ box to make it look more effective as an interview, and made it stand out in a black box to make it different.

11. Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the final product Looking back at my preliminary task, I feel that I have majorly progressed as you can see from the images below. I learnt many skills on Photoshop than I knew at the beginning e.g. using the lasso tool to get the proper shape of the image outline. I learnt to put a background rather than using boxes. I also learnt to put effects on the fonts which makes it look much better in the music magazine. I also feel that I have learnt more about layout in the final product e.g. font on top of the image, and around. I also learnt to create a logo on Photoshop (the plug). As you can see in the preliminary it looks rather basic and plain, I feel that in the final task I have really tried to make it look interesting and bright rather than a white background and an image, whereas I have put a nice colour, more images and text.

12. I also feel that I have improved a lot while producing my contents page, as I learnt to improve the layout of the images, title and text and different layers and effects that I could add to texts and images and shapes. It was due to Photoshop that I could edit images easily too make them look good. As you can see there is a huge difference between the two pages. I feel that I made the music magazine one look much more interesting and bold and not basic by using a variety of effects.
