project evaluation

I updated the magazine many times and I really feel that I have completed it to the best standard that I can. The front cover photo was my favourite part as I tried various edits, but in the end the original photo looked the most natural fit for the front as it portrayed the character in my audio-visual much better without all of the effects. The audio-visual, on the other hand, took me much longer as some scenes had to be shot repeatedly. Plus, with the weather constantly changing it was difficult to get similar conditions for interchangeable scenes. Conclusively, the edit came out exactly what I visioned it to be. I am very pleased with the acting, and especially the music that I found which tied the whole piece together. Overall, I am very pleased with my project, and I don't think that I could have improved it anymore. As I previously mentioned, I did find it quite difficult to get all of the filming done as I kept wanting to change certain scenes, but by planning everythin...

FINAL DESIGN-front cover

Image
This is the overall design for my front cover. I am very happy with how it turned out. I have used a range of different fonts and sizing, and have also got s colour scheme. I'm glad that I chose to use the natural photo as I think that it shows the true colour and sense of the image. The title changed many times but this design is very modern and fit for the target audience intended.

magazine cover edit

I have decided that after editing, I am going to use natural pictures for my magazine as I feel that they give a more realistic magazine feel than the edited ones. I used Adobe Photoshop to trial edit various designs, but overall I prefer the natural image.

FINAL DESIGN-double page spread

Image
This is my overall design. I felt that the images needed to be enlarged to really show off the film and character. I have taken away the arrow as it felt quite childish and not something you would usually see in a lifestyle magazine for millennials.

update on double page spread

Image
I have taken screenshots from my filming to add to the "exclusive" interview. One I have used in the film (the top image )and one was just a clip from behind the scenes during filming (the bottom image). I also put in an arrow showing what the pictures are, and also a slight border around the two images to define them.

update on magazine

Image
I have added a few more cover lines and also a tab at the bottom, that is very common with lifestyle magazines. I have added a bit more colour to these pages, and also made the text easier to read against the background.

magazine so far

Image
I have edited the title font to be more modern and bold for the target audience. I have also used a mixture of fonts to add variety and character to the cover. The price has increased to £4.25 as it is only a seasonal magazine so doesn't need to be as cheap as £3.00. I intend to add some more cover lines and text as well.  For the double page spread,   I need to take a shot of the footage from the film to add to this page. I will also add another paragraph to my article.
