Evaluation: Question Seven
Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
The college magazine helps to show my prgression over the course as I have gained more skills in photoshop and more skills with the SLR camera's and also more knowledge of hpw to use the Macs.
For my music magazine I had a more established colour scheme which fitted with the genre and will appeal to the mainly female audience. The college magazine is quite boring in comparision as there is no defined colour scheme, the magazine uses neutral colours and then blue and pink to appeal to the male and female audience, looking back however I don't think this was effective.
I used more photographs on my music magazine and they are of better quality than the only one on the college magazine, this shows how my camera skills have developed. The images ion my music magazine have also been edit more professionaly and shows how my skills in photoshop have been improved.
The layout of the two magazine shows a strong contrast the music magazine layout looks neat, professional and well organised and the college magazine looks unorganised and has no columns or structure to it.
Making the music magazine has helped my develop skills that will be useful to me across my media course.

Evaluation: Question Two
How does your magazine represent particular social groups?
The picture I have chosen to compare is taken from the contents page of 'Top of the Pops' magazine. The reason I chose the two picture is because they are both of bands, although mine is a girl band, they both feature three members.
The pose in the pictures look quite similar as the members are standing close and all look upbeat and happy. Both photo's don't look too staged and have a natural feeling which would appeal to the audiences of both magazines want to see a 'behind the scenes' view.
The costume in the 'Top of the Pops' photos look more styled as the members seem to match more, however none of the costumes in my photo match, I chose to do this as the different clothing reflects the members personalities. The styled appear of the other images shows that it is more professional.
Both photo's are mid shots and this works well as it gives the audience a chance to see the members clothing, which is important as I think that my target audience would be interested in clothing and style, but it also allows the audience to see the facial expressions of the band.

This is the process I have made on my double page spread and cover. I think the cover is now finished but it could do with being edited in some parts.
