My aim for this lesson is to start my DPS and collect my peer feedback.

My result of this lesson is that I have begun my DPS and uploaded my first draft to my blog and I have got my peer feedback and uploaded it to my blog with my comments.

First draft DPS

This is my first draft of my double page spread. 

I added images. 

I added text. 

I added pull quotes.

I added a running head. 

I added a page number. 

I added captions to the images.

I added a byline. 

Peer feedback - contents page

This is my peer feedback for my contents page.
One comment I agree with is that their is a spelling error with 'fuck what you thing' which is supposed to be 'think' so I will change that as it makes it more proffesional.
One comment I disagree with is that they think I should change the green and orange font but I disagree as it helps the important sections stand out.
Another comment I disagree with is that the image is too dark as the article that this image represents is quite a dark and sad topic.
Another comment I agree with is that I should put a box around the sub image that I have at the bottom as this will make it look better and sectioned.

My aim for this lesson is to complete my contents page and to do the compare and contrast of my contents page and a product already out there.

My results for this lesson is that I finished my magazine contents page and and I have finished my compare and contrast and finished writing my DPS article.

Third draft of my contents page

I added an image of my guest editor.

I added my sub images.

I added captions to my images.

I added a signature to my guest editor to make it more realistic. 

Compare and Contrast- Contents page

My magazine contents page is similar and different in many ways to the product already out there.

One way these contents pages are similar is that they both include a large image on one side of the page which help show what are the most important articles. 

A difference in these contents pages is that I have included a sub image of another artist where this contents page has an image of some of the other magazines for a subscription advert I decided to include another artist instead as it makes the reader more interested in the article about the artist and makes the page look more visually pleasing.

Another similarity to my contents page and and this one is that they both have an editors note from an artist which help show the reader that the artist is interested in the magazine and they have had some input in the magazine and they want the readers to have a good time while reading. 

Another difference in these magazine contents page is that the other product has more sections for different sections of the magazine where I have only included 3 different sections which will help readers find the most important articles in the magazine but adding more sections to my magazine contents page could be something that I add in the future.

Another similarity with these contents page is that they both include page numbers for the articles and pages as it helps the reader find the page that the article they want to read is on.

Another similarity of these contents pages is that they both include a cover date and a issue number on the page which helps the reader know when it was published and which issue it is as it helps they be able to find it in the future.

My aim for this lesson is to complete my magazine, do peer assement and collect my own and upload it to my blog with a comment and then start my compare and contrast of my magazine and a similar product.

My result of this lesson is that I have completed my magazine, finished my peer assessment, collected my own and uploaded to my blog with my opinion on the feedback, I finished the compare and contrast and I started my contents page.

Feedback front cover

This is my peer feedback from people in my class. There is some bits I agree with and some I don't agree with.
Someone said that I should have a solid background instead of the spray paint background but I disagree as I believe that helps the magazine stand out and makes it colourful and bright. A couple of people said that my sub images should a little brighter which I agree with as they are quite dark and hard to see. Another piece of feedback I agree with is changing the blue font to a brighter colour to help it stand out more and make it more readable also changing the box above the barcode to help it blend in. I disagree that there is too many colours used on my magazine was it helps it stand out and makes it look more interesting. I agree that I need to change the gramma errors in my magazine front cover as it will look more professional. I disagree that I should re-think the picture frames as I think the image frames help the magazine look more tidy and they help the images stand out on the magazine page as they wouldn't look right against the graffiti without a border.

Compare and contrast - front cover

This is my front cover.

This is a magazine similar to mine

There are some similarities and differences with my magazine and a similar product.
One similarity to my magazine and this similar product is that both our titles are on slants also I included a quote on top of the title and something about the article underneath the title. A difference between these two magazines is that I haven't included a give away of posters but I have included a give away of headphones instead but posters could be something I look to include in my magazine. Another similarity of these magazines is the plus bar at the bottom of the page except the similar product has a lot more artists than mine does but I wanted the artist to stand out on the page. Another difference is that the masthead goes across the top of the page and mine sits at the side as for my magazine it looks better and fits better also in the similar product the artist goes over the masthead and mine doesn't as the image isn't big enough which could be something I could change in the future. Another similarity of these two magazines is that I have included a couple of sub images it make it more interesting and added tag lines for the sub images. Another difference is that I don't have a bar at the top of my magazine as I think my magazine looks better without it also the barcode on the similar product is all one box and mine has a different colour box as it helps it stand out and help people find it easier but changing it to the same colour could be an improvement for the future.

The give away of beat headphones shows that I am catering towards my target audience as from my research I found out that people who would read this sort of magazine enjoy listening to music through headphones.

The artists that I have included such as Paramore show that I am representing the alternative genre and the swear word again show that I'm making a alternative magazine as the artists are alternative and swearing in a magazine is very out their and different just like the alternative genre.

There is couple of things I could change for my next draft such as making the image a little better so it fills more of the space and change the colour of one of the tag lines so that it stands out more also if I can include free posters and maybe make my title slightly smaller so I can fit more things in.

Second shoot

I have included the weather and tide times for my second shoot for my magazine to show that the weather is going to be okay to take photos as it will be sunny while I am taking them and I have also included the tide times for the sea so then I know when the tide will be out so if I want to shoot on the beach it will be safe for us.

Third Draft - Front Cover

In this I changed the other artists to pictures of my model and I changed the tag line for one of the photos as it didn't fit the picture any more.
