Magazine Evaluation

My task was to create a music magazine, Firstly i researched music magazines , artists and bands then finally making my decision to Choose a music genre or style. I chose to make a Hip Hop magazine because of a market available for a British Hip Hop Magazine and that i liked Hip Hop magazines.

But before i did this task i did a preliminary task , which was to make a cover page and contents page for a grace academy school magazine. Before starting this task i had a very little experience with photoshop and Fireworks but during the task in which i edited photos , edited backgrounds, used different effects and by doing these things it helped me gain some experience using the programs and it helped me when doing this music magazine task. The difference between the first and task is quite evident as the first task shows very basic skills while the second task shows use of different techniques to make my magazine. Something else i gained experience on was the way o magazine is set out. My first magazine used different placement techniques to different magazines that we researched while my second magazine was much more serious and had a better overall idea of what a magazine should look like.
