drafting and planning- my coursework final draft

during a period of two weeks myself and other classmates waited for feedback from our teacher on how to improve our music magazines. The feedback i received was criticisms such as: making sure my contents page is better presented and making sure it looks professional. from this comment i used shapes to enclose the contents with white boxes to make the contents page look  more efficient and professional. i received other feedback from my teacher such as adding more cover lines, before hand i only had 3 cover lines which made the magazine look empty and not full of gossip therefore i included more secondary artists into the cover lines which enabled the front cover of "cosmic" to look full and eye appealing.

from my meeting with my teacher i received feed back to ensure that my media project was up to a high standard but needed improvements to ensure it looks like a real genre of pop. from within my music magazine i also needed t improve on silly errors such as grammar and spelling mistakes, therefore after my meeting i went back to my course work and added in and corrected my grammar and spelling throughout the magazine on both pages of the contents ad double page spread. this has enabled the magazine on a whole to be more professional because a published music magazine wouldn't have spelling errors and bad grammar therefore it was key to ensure that they were both correct.

another improvement of which i also thought needed improving as well as my teacher from his feedback was the front page as i thought from peer and self assessments that the front cover was too bland and didn't look full therefore not only did i add more cover lines i moved around the main cover line and the sky line which enabled the magazine to look not so bland and messy. the positioning of the text now has improved and therefore the structure of the front cover is more professional and realistic to a pop magazine.

drafting and planning

this is how i plan to set out my double page spread. my double page spread will consist of questions which have already been asked in an interview between my cover star James Owen and a interviewer. the questions asked have been recently brought up in news about James Owen and the public/ fans want to know more about what he has been doing ect therefore the questions asked by the interviewer have been selected as the most popular by his fans. This suggests that his fans are very keen on him and want to know everything about his life style.

i have set out this double page spread like this because i want the text of the interview to go around the main image of my star as i would like the information to highlight how significant he is and that all the information is based on him and him only. the information presented will be in depth of how he feels as i would like the information to be accurate so that his fans will be able to fantasise about him. i am planning to write my article to ensure that what i speak about in his interview is correct because one wrong comment could lose him hundreds if not thousands of fans, this could happen if i insulted something or someone. i am planing to ensure all of this is accurate information because i want the genre of pop to stand out therefore i wouldn't want any false non realstic information on the double page spread.

drafting and planning

i have looked into a pop magazine again because on top of all the feedback i received from peers i am looking at how i could improve my front cover. i am especially looking at the structure and the layout of this magazine because when producing my final draft for my magazine i wish it to not look empty and full of information, cover lines main cover line, puff, pug and sky line ect. i would like my magazine to look full and bursting with information therefore i am looking into techniques and ways to grab the readers/ target audiences attention.

i continue to look for similar ways that i could be inspired through pop magazines. i will use this magazine to my advantage because i like the way the cover lines are set out and also the colour scheme, i am influenced by this and hope to replicate something similar to this in my magazine because it is eye catching and colourful which means that this magazine is suitable for the genre of pop because alot of young people in the world have a bright imagination an not a dark one therefore the magazine isn't covered with black and dark colours
