Evaluation Prezi

My Journey

Since the start of the year I was given the task of completing 60 blog posts. These blog posts would show my progress throughout the year and also "the journey" to completing my music magazine. I believe over the past few months i have really progressed with my knowledge of music magazines, and also my knowledge and skills on photoshop, which have been tested in  my final production. I have explored music magazines and the music industry in my individual posts and also completed tasks relating to feminism. I have also been able to analyse magazine covers and contents pages, music related or non-music related.

Double page spread story

The story on my double page spread was a fictional story about a fictional band. This band was put together consisting of a few of my class mates. The story was based on a lot of stories that i have read whilst researching magazines. These stories always consist of bands that are splitting up, and that all the blame goes down onto one band member. I did this so that the magazine would be more believable and realistic.

Clothing Contents Page

On the contents page there was a solo artist. This is a classmate of mine who I had selected specifically to be on my contents page. The clothing he work was typical indie and really fit into the genre.


(Awaiting picture of Denim Jacket)






He wore a denim jacket over a white t-shirt

he was also wearing a grey beanie hat as I felt it went with the style well.

Clothing Double Page

On the double page spread Connor is wearing a white shirt. The shirt did have a logo, however the logo was covered by Connors arm. He is also wearing a tie as the shirt on its own looked very plain.

This is all you are able to see on the picture

Clothing Front cover

The clothing used in the pictures that I have used played a huge part in the shots. Below I have a list of the clothing props used along with pictures.







Cover page-
On the cover, all 3 boys are wearing plain white t-shirts (2 covered partly by shirts) This is something that I have seen in a few magazines, aswell as music videos in this genre.

Blue shirt. The red shirt on the cover is the same style of checks. But red. Both shirts are open showing the white t-shirt. This gives the artists a more casual look.

The only bottom half of a body that you can see is Nathan (far right) on my front cover. This is because he is tall, and also because he is standing further back to give the impression that Connor (central) is the lead singer. He is wearing black skinny jeans.
