Website Homepage Progress

I am pleased with the elements of this page.  I think that I have used appropriate fonts and that the images are of good quality.
 

Feature Page: Second Draft Feedback

My lecturer has advised that I reword certain parts and that I better align some of the text.


Tyneside Cinema Image

As suggested by my lecturer, I have added another image of the Tyneside Cinema to my contents page.  This gives it more of a collage feel.  It has the date on it but I can cut this out.
 
 
 
 



Feature Page: Second Draft

I have made changes to this page and am awaiting feedback to see if there are any other changes I need to make.  The changes include moving the text up further to the image.  This meant I had to add more to the article.


Billboard Progress

This billboard fits with the house style of my products.  I still need to add the image of the IPad and IPhone.


Targets for Lesson

Beginning of Lesson: Begin work on website.

End of Lesson: I have begun to work on the homepage of my website.

Based on feedback, I am going to add more text to give the page more purpose.  I am also going to improve the cutting out of the image.

I am going to reduce the size of the listings text and add a new image to create a collage effect.


Targets for Lesson

Beginning of Lesson: Work on contents page and editor's page feedback.

Editor's Page: Second Draft

I have added a social media section and included the editor's name alongside the signature.  When I delivered the pitch, one of the recommendations was that I incorporate a social media element.  The editor's page is a relevant page to include this.


Feature Page: First Draft Feedback

I need to add to the text and make it more regional.  I also need to embed the text with the drop cap.


Feature Page: First Draft

I am pleased with this draft however I think that it would benefit from some changes.


Contents Page: Third Draft

I have reflected on feedback from the second draft and am waiting for feedback on this draft.  I have changed the colours of some of the text in areas like the subscribe section and the listings.  I have also added a line before and after 'NorthEast FILM' which is a design used by 'Empire' magazine.


Editor's Page: First Draft Feedback

I need to improve the cutting out of the image and reduce the size of the text so that I can add something minor to the page.

Contents Page: Second Draft Feedback

Based on feedback, I am going to make amendments to the images and the colour scheme.

Front Cover: Third Draft Feedback

I am going to make changes to the layout, sizing of items and font.


Feature Page Progress

I still need to add the rest of the article including the pull quote.  I think this page is looking positive.  I have used the crop tool on the image to put more focus on myself in the centre.

 

Editor's Page: First Draft

This is the first draft of my magazine editor page.  I am pleased with the use of font and the inclusion of the signature.


Targets for Lesson

Beginning of Lesson: Act on feedback of my front cover and contents page.  Complete a first draft of the editor page.  I will also begin working on the feature page.

End of Lesson: I have acted on feedback and have finished a first draft of the editor page.  There is also progress of my feature page on a blog post.

Contents Page: Second Draft

I have added a new image and changed the background.  I think that the contents page looks far more interesting than the first draft.


Front Cover: Third Draft

I am pleased with the front cover after acting on the feedback.  I have used the angle tool to change the angle of some text such as the website name.  I have moved the issue number above the masthead and the website is now next to the barcode.


Front Cover: Second Draft Feedback

I need to make some minor changes to the front cover.  I feel that these improvements will make the page look more professional.


Editor Page Progress

I still need to add the image and signature onto this page.

Contents Page: First Draft Feedback

Based on the feedback, I am going to work on the colours, layout and images.  I am also going to make the background black to see if it makes the page look better.  This will mean having to change the colour of some items.


Targets for Lesson

Beginning of Lesson: Reflect on the feedback on my contents page.

End of Lesson: I have reflected on the feedback and I am making good progress with the editor's page.

New Contents Page Image

I have taken a picture of a cardboard cutout which is in my media class.  This will be added to the contents page to go with the sell line regarding the 'Sci-Fi Carnival'.  This image will be of Boba Fett from 'Star Wars' and it will be a close up.  This will need to be cut around so that the image is only of the helmet.


Contents Page: First Draft

I am pleased with the listings and the images however I am unsure whether I will keep the 'Sci-Fi Carnival' animation.  I have used the quick selection tool to remove the background of the camera image.

        

Front Cover: Second Draft

This is the second draft of my front cover.  I have changed some of the fonts and the layout as requested in the feedback.




Front Cover: First Draft Feedback

My lecturer has informed me on what I should consider changing on the cover.  This includes changing the font of the headline and the position of the barcode.

Front Cover: First Draft

This is the first draft of my front cover.  I am awaiting feedback.  I like the style, the image and the colour scheme as they are unique and appropriate.


Contents Page Progress

I have almost finished my contents page and the first draft of my front cover is complete.

Front Cover Progress

This is further progress of my front cover.  It is almost finished as a first draft.


Contents Page Progress

Like with the cover, I am pleased with the fonts and the colour scheme of this page.  I am yet to add the image of the Super 8 camera and the listings.  I have used the shapes tool to create part of the listings section.
