Comparing my music magazine with VBE magazine
Both my magazine Beats and VIBE magazine are within the RnB genre, because of this the artists, celebrities and music the magazines promote and feature are very similar. The slide- show below compares my magazine with VIBE magazine.
Looking back at your preliminary task of designing the front page of a school magazine, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the final product?
Below is the front covers of my school magazine and my music magazine;
There are several things i have learnt throughout this processes of creating the front covers of my prelim task and then music magazine. Firstly i have learnt how to use the softwares photoshop and pages, i liked using these softwares as they were professional and new to me.
Another thing i learnt and improved on as a skill throughout this process was taking and then manipulating photographs. When comparing the images in my prelim task magazine with the ones in my magazine, i can clearly see that i have developed my skills in this area and that the overall standards of the images in my music magazine are of a higher standard then in the school magazine.
Another thing i learnt throughout this process was how to plan properly, the main part of the planning which i feel improved on was when i was designing my flat plans. My music magazine flat-plans contain a lot more of codes and conventions found in magazines then my prelim task flat-plans did.

Evaluation Video
In the video below i have asked 5 people evaluation questions about my finished music magazine Beatz.
The first question i asked was 'How can you tell the music genre of my magazine?'
I was happy with the awnsers i got from this question as all but one of the interviewees who awnsered straight away identified the fact that my magazine was under the music genre of RnB/ Hip-Hop. It is important for my magazine to look correctly represent its music genre as otherwise i will not be able to successfully attract my target audience, overall i was happy with the awnsers i got and am confident my magazine looks correctky appeals to people interested in its music genre. I was also happy with the way the interviewees identified how some of my design features were diliberetly used relfect the music genre, an example of these features would be; the images i took.
The second question i asked was 'How can you tell the purpose and intention of my magazine?'
I was happy with the awnsers i recieved for this question aswell. The two interviewees were correctly able to see that the first purpose of my magazine was to inform the reader, they identified this mainly through my use of attractive headings which informed the reader of new nwes / gossip. The interviewees were also able to see that another purpose of my magazine was to entertain, they could see this because of things like my mode of address, images and headings.
