My college magazine was less planned than my
music magazine and was therefore put together
with very little planning.
The shooting of the cover image was also
unplanned and very quick to do.
The other images were taken spur of the moment
and so the majority of my time on this part of my
folio was spent on the practical side of things and
putting the magazine together.
A bulk of the time spent on my music magazine was on
both research and scrap-booking The shooting of my
pictures was quite quick and simple although photo-
shopping them was a longer process.
The entirety of my music magazine (front cover, contents
page and double page spread) was planned and sketched
out in my scrapbook before I began work on the computer.
During my coursework lessons I photo-shopped my images
and when at home I put together my magazine in a solid 8
hour chunk of work time using Quark on my mum·s
laptop.
I analysed both my choices and my reasons for these
choices in my scrapbook and my research and style models
were accompanied by in-depth analysis· on the style and
the items in my research that I had taken inspiration from.

!ollege Magazine:- My college
magazine key image was shot
in the college gallery using my
friends as models. The other
images were taken at home
and were of inanimate objects
± a lot easier to work with than
my friends.
Music Magazine:- These images were
taken a lot more seriously and all
included my friends who reluctantly
made up my band: RO!
RDOLS.
These were also shot at college but at
various different locations that were
relevant to the shots. My initial
pictures were not particularly great
and I re-shot the majority of them
although I did include some of the
original shots in my work.

 Overall
My blog could ave been given a lot more attention
and a lot more effort altoug if it ad been given
tis time, my scrapbook would likely ave suffered
a lack of attention.

 am proud of my music magazine as a lot of effort

and attention went into tis piece of my
coursework.
