Front cover progress

I have now added an image to the front cover and a puff in the top corner. In order to have the image on a white background I had to use the magic eraser to remove the pervious background. I have used to include a puff to advertise freebies in hope it will attract the readers attention. I made the puff using the shape tool.

Contents page progress

To start with I decided to layout how I wanted my contents page to look. Eventually I will replace the pink squares with images. The red squares are where the titles are going to be and the line down the middle separates the two pages, This line wont always be there it is only there for the time being so that I can locate the middle. The black line at the bottom is going to separate the contents from the pages numbers etc.

I then proceeded to replace the shapes and blank spaces with relevant information for my magazine. I included a title, the issue number, page numbers, articles that can be found on certain pages and I have started to include the images I have took.

Target A

To achieve my target my research, planning and evaluation must be detailed, effectively communicated and presented digitally, using a wide variety of formats. I need detailed
research into similar products and target audience and to show the process of planning by including excellent work on shotlists, drafts, storyboards, scripts, locations and props. I need to show full evidence of the research and planning informing the construction process.
My evaluation must reflect my excellent understanding of forms and conventions, an understanding of the use of new media throughout the stages of production, the way my ancillary and primary tasks combine effectively. There will be an excellent understanding of the significance of audience feedback.
My production work, across the formats, will demonstrates excellent creativity and imagination as I seek to make them as convincing as possible and it will also reflect my mastery
in technical skills such as controlled use of the camera, attention to framing, variety of shot sizes, close attention to mise-en-scène, appropriate transitions and use of sound.
