Preliminary task review

I thought my preliminary magazine went very well. There is still a few things I would change such as the title and I think I would also change the colour of the title. I would also change the lighting on the image. I would do this because at the moment I think it looks very rushed and it doesn't look very professional. I used Ban and Jay for my models for my prelimanary because I wanted it to look smart. However I wanted it to look causal aswell and I decided that using these two would be a great choice. I worked with Kate Bexley on these photos. We took them together however we used seperate images to make our magazines look different.

When I do my real magazine I am going to change the image on the cover because I want to make it look better. I will make the image be a single person and I will edit the image to make it look good.I have also decided to change the type of magazine from pop to country. I have done this because I have changed my model. I have used a girl for my final magazine. I did this because I wanted a different image from my prelimanary and I also wanted to make it look better. I have changed my magazine from pop to country because she looks like a 'pop' star she looks more like a country star. I also believe that lots of people are making a pop magazine so i want to make mine different so it swill stand out and also look better.

This is a picture of my prelimanary magazine which I created.

This is my double page spread deconstruction.

#3 Deconstruction of contents page

Masthead

The Masthead is surprisingly at the bottom of the page below the image. This is unusual because most mastheads are at the top of the page(the first thing you see). The colour of he masthead is black. 

Other information

There isn't much other information on the page only the title of the magazine at the top of the page before the list of the contents. 

Text and Font

There is a lot of text on the page. Down the right side of the page there is a lots of text. This is the contents bit. At the bottom of the page after the masthead there is a paragraph of text. Just about all of the text on the page is black and simple. Most of the writing is italic and some of the writing is italic. The font on the page is all the same apart from the style (italic/bold). 

Images

There is two images on the page. One large black and white image in the middle/right side of the page. This is a large image of two men. The other image is in the top left corner. It is in colour and is a woman singing. These images represent the articles in the magazine. 

Composition 

The layout of the page is that the title is in the left top corner. The actual contents of the page is down the left side of the page just below the small image of the woman singing. There is a large image on the right side of the page and below is an extract from a interview which will be fully on a double page spread somewhere in the magazine. 

There is no linguistic features or enigma codes on this contents page.

Colour

There is very little colour on this page. The background is white and just about all of the text is black. There is some small amounts of purple and blue text on the page. 

#3 Deconstruction of front cover

Font 

The font on this page is very bold and clear to read. The font is very girly.

Text

The text on the front cover is all white with a few yellow lines. 'Miley Cyrus' is placed in the very middle of the page behind a large picture of her. The sub-heading then says 'The queen of tween grows up. But will her fans follow her?'. This suggests that the magazine will be about her and it also makes you want to find out due to the use of rhetorical question used in the writing. There is also text down the side with small points from the stories that will be inside the magazine. 

Colour 

The colour scheme of this magazine is very girly with purples, yellows and whites. There is a purple back ground and then they have used white and yellow text on top of it so you can clearly see what it says.

Body Language

The layout of the page is that the title is at the top of the page and the large image is placed just underneath the title and it fans out and takes up the whole page. The small writing is placed on either side of the large image. 

Lighting 

The lighting of the image is used to make her face look a lot lighter than anything else on the page. This bring our attention to her. 

Composition 

Overall the text is placed in and around the large image that is placed in the very middle of the page.
