Production Diary 22 - Changing evaluation to magazine style format
24th February 2014
Since I had written my evaluations in
draft form before, I made slight changes where necessary and then made them
into a more interesting format rather than just text. I had transformed my
evaluation answers into a magazine style format. I used the template of my magazine
a sort of guideline to create this magazine style evaluation. I put all the
evaluation questions on the front cover as sell lines and used an outdoor image
of my model to make a full bleed image for the cover.
I put the questions at the top of each
page with a teal coloured background box and the question on white. I added in
several images onto each of the pages including images of my magazine, props
and logos such as Facebook, Twitter as well as Photoshop and Prezi. I applied
text wrap to the images so that it looked like a real magazine. I also added in
page numbers to make it more like a magazine.

Production Diary 21 - Improving double page spread with extra information
11th February 2014
This week I made a
lot of changes to my magazine after I had received feedback from my teacher.
I made various changes throughout my magazine. I added in hashtag
tweets at the bottom of the page. I also added in a box which says ‘Interview
with…’ at the top left corner of the double page spreads.
Front cover: I made some changes to the positioning of the sell
lines as I made the plug go under the sell line that was below it before. This
is because I found that it enhances the boldness of both of these sell lines. I
also used the idea from an existing magazine to create this.
Double page spread 3: I extended my article by adding an extra
double page spread so that it is more spaced out. I also added in a bit more
text to fill up some extra space on the second double page spread. I made loads
of changes to this double page spread after I got feedback from my teacher. I
used an existing magazine and borrowed ideas from it to recreate mine.
Firstly I made the image only half way up the page. Then I changed
the pull quote by adding a white background box to it and positioning it on the
left side of the image. Afterwards, I added in the tour dates box on the left
page as well. Overall I made the double page spread have a more interesting
layout that I did before.
Contents page: I also changed the border of the images on the
contents page so that it is rounded. I also made the caption in a box in the
corner of the image. I then changed the artist index so that it is in two
columns.
After feedback:

Production Diary 20 - Making changes to magazine
4th February 2014
This week I made
several changes to my magazine. FirstIy, I took photos outside for the double
page spread and contents page. I chose a couple of images for the double page
spread as a background and for smaller images on the page. I also chose one
image for the contents page. I edited some of the photos, changing the
brightness and contrast on Photoshop before putting it in InDesign. I also
added in captions for the images in my magazine.
