Reflect:

I am happy with everything on my blog and I feel that my project has been successful.

Final Products

 These are the final products I have made.

A minor change was made regarding the bar-code on the front cover as it had the wrong price on it.

A change was also made to the contents page where subscription was listed as £6 a month even though my magazine is a monthly magazine. Now, it's £25 a year - which fits a monthly magazine. 

A spelling error has been corrected on the DPS

Jan Calendar

I am finished with my product. This is my calendar for January. I have been very productive and managed my time well this month.

Final focus group

To determine whether or not I was ready to finish up my product, I showed my work to my class and asked them to give feedback. The feedback was resoundingly positive and this told me that I was ready to finish my products and move onto my evaluation.

Aims:
- Final focus group
- Do first four evaluation questions
Reflect:
As my project comes to completion, I am happy with what I've achieved and I am happy with the feedback I have received. I also began my evaluation and made significant progress with it. I feel like I have summed up my intentions with the project as best as I could.

Contents Page #6 - Feedback

My cousin is a member of my target audience as he is a twenty year old man with a well-paying job who enjoys indie music. I asked him to look at the draft I've done and give me one-on-one feedback to help me improve:

Yeah, this looks better now that you’ve filled the extra space. And the black really makes them stand out. I like it. I think it looks really bold and good. I don’t have any complaints.

Aims:

- Produce contents page draft
- Receive feedback

Reflect:
I am very happy with this and I feel as if I'm close to completion with this product. I cannot imagine putting much more work in.

Contents Page #6

This fills up the page completely and makes it very visually exciting and beautiful to look at. I really can't imagine putting any more work into this as I've included everything I can think of. I am happy leaving this as the final draft I do.

23rd Jan

Aims:
- Produce final flatplan

Reflect:
I responded well to feedback given and adapted my flatplan to suit my target audiences complaints. It now fills the page and makes use of space more effectively.

Contents Page Flatplan FINAL REVISION

 I have decided to make one last change based on the feedback I received and fill the page completely by altering some things. This is the last change I will make to my flatplan.

The page number in the top left corner corresponds with the placement of the page number on my DPS. Thus helps the pages work together as a whole instead of as three individual pieces of coursework. 

The bars behind the title create visual excitement and appeals to the teen audience through this excitement.

The main image is still the focus on this page and will be edited to fit the red colour scheme still. The features section will be placed to the side of the image.

This is the place where it will be easiest to read, which means that the page functions as it should.

The editors note and competition title (which may not end up being about the competition if I decide that having the subscription information looks better) will be used to make the page look more full and add a personal touch to the page. 

Front Cover #6 - Feedback

My cousin is a member of my target audience as he is a twenty year old man with a well-paying job who enjoys indie music. I asked him to look at the draft I've done and give me one-on-one feedback to help me improve:

The new thing at the bottom and the new barcode make it look a lot more professional and I think the fonts look a lot better. The black behind the text makes everything really stand out and it’s eyegrabbing. And I like the way you’ve changed the contrast on the image and added red into the shadows. It’s edited really nicely so that it’s eye grabbing. I don’t have any complaints on this one. 

Contents Page #5

My cousin is a member of my target audience as he is a twenty year old man with a well-paying job who enjoys indie music. I asked him to look at the draft I've done and give me one-on-one feedback to help me improve:

  This one matches your other pages a lot more now because you’ve taken some of the colour out of the models. You’ve made the T.A seem younger but I think you wanted that. It’s more colourful and more exciting and you’ve got a lot more red – which is really powerful. You’ve got a little bit of empty space, could you fill that?
