THANK YOU!

This is my last update and I've finally finished my magazine. From the start of this course to the end i have progressed and gained a lot of knowledge on a variety of different software. Thanks to my teacher and my peers i have thoroughly enjoyed AS media studies and cannot wait for A2. I hope you have enjoyed going through my blog and i hope you are pleased with my magazine overall!

Improvements

I printed my magazine out to see how it looks and to determine any errors that still need improving. Before moderation me and my peers made improvements on post it notes to find ways of developing the magazine further and find out others opinions on my magazine that is targeted to their age group.
They said i need to take time to line up all of the columns and text to ensure there was a clean finish, and ensure all of the writing is clear to make my magazine looks organised. They further commented on the magazine needing to not be so close to the page edge. This is because when i first printed it out a whole side of both my double page spread and my contents page were cut off therefore the page numbers were not visible. I made all of the above improvements to my magazine, in particular on in design by adding the grids to ensure it was all accurately placed.

Double Page Spread - Step by Step

Since last time I have slightly changed my double page spread through little details that I noticed and realised. Specifically i noticed that in the article i missed the speech marks on some areas. This is vital for an article and placed no hesitation on correcting it. I then looked at the top strip and realised that it needed to go all the way accross in order to look more appealing rather than half finished. However i again looked back and realised that the plain black strip looked plain, therefore i added some branding of the magazine website which additonally broke up the intese large article aswell as matching the bottom strip well and therefore appearing to be professional.

Below is my newer version of my double page spread.
