thinking of a main image.. 25/11/2011

For the main image for my front cover i was thinking of trying to base my band around the boy group one direction because personally i love there music and i think that they look good together.

I choose the image below because i like the way they are oragnised and stood.

WHAT MAKES A FRONT COVER IMAGE EFFECTIVE 22/11/2011

Today in class in a pair or in a group we had to discuss what we thought made a front conver image effective this is what we came up with

• Gendre
• Age
• Music Style
• Lighting
• Body posture
• Hair and Make up style
• Props
• Location and Time
• Size of main image
• Settings
• Colour scheme
• Composition
• Pose
• Interior - inside
• MASTHEAD

We also learnt that costume is  more important and effective than the props we used.

Evaluation Of My School Magazine

When I first started to use adobe design I found it quite hard to grasp as I wasn’t sure how to use every tool that was required to make my school magazine successful. But after a couple of hours using it and with some help from other students also doing the same task as me I began to find it a lot more easier to use and I started to enjoy the whole experience. Looking at the front cover of my magazine now I feel that it has turned out well and I am pleased with my effort. I found it interesting how I edited my main image to make it look smart and presentable and I would probably use the same form and camera shot for any future tasks that we may do. I liked my colour choices and I feel that they suit the magazine and they are appropriate. The colours I used represent the school itself. I found choosing and creating a layout for my magazine quite difficult and I changed quite a lot towards to end for example moving my title and making my slogan a lot smaller so it looked better. If I could I would change my slogan and maybe try to create some of my own instead of using ones that have been used in the past. I’m happy with all the photo’s I took and I feel like all of them where relevant. Overall I am very happy with my magazine and I feel I have done the best I could at the moment.

My Questionnaire Evaluation

I created a questionnaire to help me gather information for my first task in my media studies project.

My first question was based on what year each student was in who took the time to complete my questionnaire the populist was y12 with 4 and then 3 with y7.

My second question was based on what gender each person was this was an easy question with only two answers 4 boys completed my questionnaire and 3 girls completed my questionnaires.

My third question was to circle which masthead they preferred the most populist was “KHS” and “KINGS HEAD” with two votes each I also included eight which had 1 vote and schools out with had 2 votes.

My fourth question was to circle the following slogan they most preferred the most popular choice was “SAVED BY THE BELL” with four votes I also included happenings in Henry, for the students by the students, we enter to learn and leave to achieve and a tradition in excellence.

My fifth question was based on price I offered 50p, 75p and £1.00 two choose 50p four choose 75p and one person circled £1.00.

My fifth question was to circle 5 stories in which the students would like to read about in the magazine the most popular where

·        Sporting success

·        Canteen and healthy eating

·        School trips

·        Drama production

·        Exam results

My seventh question was based on what picture should be the main image on the front cover of the school magazines I offered the options of different year groups such as 7.8.9.10.11.12 and 13, the majority of the people who took part in my questionnaire choose y12 with four votes and then y7 with 3 votes.

My eighth question was based on what colours the students thought associated best with king Henry 5 choose the colour yellow and 2 selected the colours white and navy.

My ninth question was so the students had the choice to say who the magazine should be aimed at the options where lower school middle school sixth form or the teachers, there was an equal balance as 3 choose lower school 3 choose sixth form and one student choose middle school.

My last question was asking if the student filling in the questionnaire would buy a school magazine the results show that 6 people said yes and 1 person said no.
