College Magazine - Contents Page Analysis

After looking and analysing different contents pages of music magazines, I have now completed my college magazine contents page. To analyse my contents page I have decided to use the software of Voki to analyse my contents page. Within my Voki I have stated why I have used certain features in order to make my page interesting and attractive for the reader to look at.

Contents Page Construction

During todays media lesson, I decided to begin and construct my own contents page mock up for my college magazine using the Photoshop element. To help me do this I have used and looked at a range of other contents page that are related to Music Magazines. By looking at a range of content pages, I will have a better insight and better understanding of how a contents page should appear to the reader, and I will know how to make my magazine more appealing to my chosen target demographic when it comes to constructing my music magazine.

Below are 2 contents pages (related to music magazines) that I have looked at to help me to begin my construction of my college magazine contents page. From what I can see in terms of graphological features, they are presented differently to the reader. For example the NME contents page is presented with more text with different styles and fonts on the page while the mojo magazine is presented with less text and a variety of different images are used on the page. I know from looking at these 2 pages I will able to be more creative and innovative within constructing my music magazine contents page.

College Magazine - Front Page Analysis

As part of one of my blog post I was told that I must create a front cover mock up of a college magazine. For this task I choose to base my front cover on my sixth form college, helping to promote my college for students who are willing to apply in the future. Beneath I have created a prezi showing my final front cover college magazine after using the element of Photoshop to help me create this. I have explained why and how I have used certain features that help to promote my front cover college magazine to the reader. Take a few minutes to watch my presentation.

College Magazine - Images/Camera Angles

In my media lesson I was told that I must create a front cover college magazine and an additional contents page using the element of Photoshop to help me in my construction. Today I decided to take a few images of my sixth form college and some of the students that I may use on my college magazine front cover and contents page. Below I have included a few images and I have also used certain camera angles as well in my images.

 

I am planning to use this image for my front cover page. This is a medium shot which shows students working in my sixth form college. This will also be my main image on my front page.

Here is another image that shows a student working at a computer desk. This image is also another medium shot.

This image that I had taken shows a view of what facilities the college has to offer to students in the study area. It shows a specific area and therefore this is an establishing shot.

UKs Top 20 Best Selling Singles of 2013 (20 - 16)

As an independent blog post, each week I have decided that I am going to show the UKs top 20 and most favourite singles of 2013. I am going to create a Prezi every week showing a countdown of this years most top selling singles throughout the UK. I have decided to do this because I believe that looking at most popular singles in the charts will help me to include particular and most popular artists(if necessary)within my music magazine. If they are well known then it is likely that I will attract a wider audience to my music magazine. This will therefore help me towards my journey into creating a  successful music magazine.  I may also include blog posts similar to this in the future in order to keep me updated with the latest/new/upcoming singles. Enjoy this weeks top selling singles :D ....
