Analysation

I have been searching the net of other collage magazines to compare to mine and see what i can change. Also i have added some final touches to my name of my collage magazine but i will discuss that later.

This is a good example of a school magazine as i focused on the name of it and what was effective in genaral. I think that the name was good becuase it stood out and the use of the 2 coulours which are green and yellow match togeter and they do not  contrdict each other. There is nothing messy as in another coulour, they all match each other. Which would be good for the reader.

L.I.F.E.

Okay after yesterdays analysing of my work, i have hit photoshop and i have come up with a new topping for my magazine...

Tell me what you think this is just the open document in photoshop, im trying to think of what else to add to it

And after like 15min later, this is my final product....

Please tell me what you think

Picture Perfect

Okay so i just got back from taking some pictures around the school as i have decided that my school will be called "Vincent Banks Academy of Photography & Media" and so i went out to take media and photography related pictures.

I haver been asked to upload some pictures so i am going to show a possible picture that may be used in my final project. The reason why i think this would be good is becuase it highlights that yes it is a photography collag etc and from looking at the exampler i think that it is a good idea to put on a front page.

Feedback On My Title

In my media lesson my teacher showed my 1st draft of my title/design of my collage magazine.

"Colours Vibrant"
"The title is good"

Those are what people said



The majority of the class agreed that the name of the magazine was good for A collage magazine because in Collage or 6th Form you do all of the things e.g.  independance etc.

Some people had said that the colours of the logo were good becuase they all matched and it wasn't messy.
Apprently it looks like a music cover :S, but i dissagree becuase it looks more formal as the target audience is 16 year olds to 19 year olds.

New Idea!

So today i had a double photography lesson and we had been given a fashion project (yes i know this is not relavent but trust me it is!!)
I took some amazing pics at my schools dark room and when i was just eating my dinner it HIT me!!
Instead of me doing a music collage magazine i think that a good idea for a collage or a 6th form magazine wud be a media and photography collage!

i think that is the perfect idea and i have some spontanius pics i have taken and more i plan to take and i look to get other people involved in my pictures.

Here is an example of one of the pictures i took ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Now these may not appear in my final project but there cud be a possiblity.

What do you think ?

1st Draft

Alirhgt last night as soon as i cme home from studio, i hit my computer and started desiging for the top of  my school magazine. this is my first draft.. i really do not know what else to add but yeah this is is

Tell me what u think lads.

Beloit!!

Okay check this, i was on google and i just saw an example of a

magazine for a Science College, and  i liked the fact that it was

quite simple but yet sophisticated in its own way. But the thing that i had highlighted the fact that we needed 4 pictures and there was only one on the front. Well who knows, tell me what you think??

*DRUMROLL*

I have literally jst got back from surveying many people on the name of what my magazine should be and one of the poeple that i approached was my head teacher.

The names and results where...

1. L.I.F.E.
Learning, Independant, Foarward and Excell [7 People Said Yes)

2. BOOM [2 People Said Yes]

3. Presidentail [ 0 ]

4. Success Magazine [ 1 Person Said Yes ]

Above is a quick graph i done.

So in decision the new name will be L.I.F.E.  (i already said i would do this before lo) but yeah and the resons why they all said yes was becuase it was quuite educational and t made very much sense becuase in Collage, you: Learn, you are independant, you move forward to getting A Levels & going into Uni and you excell!!

So thank you very much Lads and Ladettes

Well....

NOW i have thought about how the hell im going to get started in making the magazine and luckily i do photography and im getting a digital camera tomorrow so yeah it shuid be nice. im gnnah start organising photoshoots to choose the pics i want for my front cover.

BUT 

i really need a name for it and the ones that i have come up with is that the school is called "PHANSTURCTUON School Of Music & Media" the emblem will be comming soon as i jump on photoshop and that will be very soon ;)

& Finally the  name of the magazine is....

*DRUMROLL*

"L.I.F.E"

"Learning, Independant, Foarward and Excell" 

(but that may necasarilly not be the name but yes its a possibility lads!!)

Yaaaay

Woooohooo!!!

i have just found out that my blog is unblocked in school now :D
LOL
On with the media coursework
Pharda

Hmmm Media Much?

Alryt, as you all know, aswell as a music artist and an actor, i also dop graphic designs...
Whoop Whoop :D

as part as my research i fliked through some of my old stuff such as old coursework from film studies and things i have made myself and me and my teacher discussed what was good about the stuff and how we could link it bk to AS media and the coursework we had been given to do.
Also i had a look at some other media AS coursework done by someone who is doing A2 media. Some very facinating stuff lol. i wount reveal now, but i think i have some sort of an idea that i can literally blow my teacher of his tiny totts lol.

Pharda

The start of armageddon!!

Today the whole process of coursework had begun and we had sat down and discussed what was expected and what we had to do to get the band of high marks.

The teacher then hit fronter and showed us some A* work ( i think i could do better) ;) .
But i have to say they are ALRIGHT, but thats just me, ima cocky person.

Tell me what you think ?

Photoshop For Beginers... But Im Not One

Umm today in 6th Form when we had media we had all been asked to get familiar with photoshop as this is paramount for our AS media coursework coming up. Me myself i design when i want to, so i found it quite easy to be honest. I am so used to photoshop CS3 but we had elements so this is what i came up with!!

Tell me what u think, and i know there are minor spelling mistakes but owel lol
