Production Log - Entry 1
Today was our first lesson of practical work towards the production of my music magazine, in the previous lessons we had been planning the contents and designing the possible names and layout of my music magazine.
Music Magazine Task - Brief
For my coursework I have been asked to produce a music magazine containing a front cover which should be attractive and relative to my target audience and adhere to the conventions of my selected genre, I will find out by doing a questionnaire to a sample of people, some of different age groups to get a range of ideas which will help me select my final genre and features of the magazine, also the front cover should consist of a masthead which should be once again relevant to the genre of my choice as well as attractive, colourful and eye catching. My magazine will also contain a contents page which should have an interesting layout to the text and images that I will place on it as well as new and different features used. The double-page spread should contain relevant and have a decent proportion of text in relation to self taken images.

Preliminary Exercise: Front Cover And Contents Page - Initial Drawings
This was my initial design for the front cover of my magazine however i made many changes to it as time progressed and I done my own reasearch.
Originally this was the layout and contents desired for my contents pages however i havent changed much about it except for the articles and used a picture of myself after it was cut and editied by using Photo shop.
School Magazine Front Page Proposal Form
The target audience for my school magazine at the end of the project remained the same of 11-16 year old, however the title changed from 'PRESTON MANOR HIGH SCHOOL' to 'PRESTON Gazette' i changed this as it is unique and isn't a traditional name for a school newsletter. I had originally planned to place a picture of the previous year 11 however as that school picture wasn't published therefore I replaced that idea with a self taken image of the front of the school building as my main image as well as three additional images of me and two other peers instead of the Ofstead logo and munch manor. I decided to use the school colours for my the title of my school magazine which are purple and turquoise and is clear to read, the technical considerations stayed the same, throughout the magazine i used Photo shop and a Canon Camera capture, edit and cut out the images that I have used on my magazine.

The Preliminary Task: A Brief
For my media studies coursework i was asked to design a front cover and contents page for a school magazine which I was to name and create myself, this has helped me to become familiar with the software's needed. The shortcuts and techniques used to create this newsletter will favour me hugely as i have become more aware of the different techniques available to futher create my music magazine in which i hope to use better more advance techniques. My newsletter was aimed for school children therefore i had to do research to acknowledge what is appreciated and liked by the school children, aged from 11-16. Hopefully my next project will be even better visually as I would have had more practice of the tools used to create a eyecatching and interesting magazine.

What I Have Learnt - Evaluation
The process of creating a school magazine has helped me immensely,
as now I have learnt how to use the software Photoshop to create realistic
magazine covers and contents, which will benefit me hugely to produce a music
magazine which will hopefully show any additional techniques that I may used to
enhance the appearance and quality of my work. By having a brief on all the tools available before the project started it gave me more of an incentive to test and practice the tools.
