Preliminary Task.

For my preliminary task I went out and took my own photographs to use on the cover and designed a contents page.

I then cut these photos out using Photo Shop, and this is where I could make an improvement for my music magazine. My images were not cut out very well andthat is definitely something to work on; on the main photo on the cover you can see that the image has not been cut out accurately and therefore I intend to improve on this in my music magazine.

I used In Design to create and design my front cover and I feel for a first proper attempt at using it and the fact that I had not used it before, that the overall product was not too bad.  

Through using both Photo Shop and I Design in this task I feel a bit more confident using them and that my music magazine will benefit from it.

The magazine cover on the whole is rather plain as there is no background colour to it and therefore in my music magazine I intend to have a more colourful cover.

I think that I could also improve by using a wider variety of fonts to make my cover look less boring and more exciting. I will go onto www.dafont.com to get some other fonts which will be suitable to use on my music magazine.

My contents page could be improved by having a few more images on there and a better structure to it. My preliminary task contents page is quite plain and boring; therefore I intend to use this experience to improve on this and make my contents page for my music magazine a lot better.

I will also do some research on covers and contents page of music magazines to also help me improve.
