Below is an infographic I created which explores the three different forms of technology used throughout my first term of sixth form and how it has helped with the production of my magazine. Please click on the image to read my creative critical reflection 4.
This is my response to the Creative Critical Reflection 3. I wrote a draft script, then I created a slideshow to go along with my script. After that I put the two together to create a presentation for future A level media studies students to teach them about the course and attract them to it.
This is my response to CCR2. I used flipsnack and screen castify to create it.
Below is a slideshow I created in response to critical creative reflection 1. I made the slideshow on the website emaze.com.
These are the drafts threes of my three magazine pages. I used photoshop and InDesign to make my drafts look as professional as possible.

This screencastify outlines all of my targets for my final draft:
For the inside cover of my magazine I have to include an advert. It is not going to improve my mark but I think it is important to include it so that my magazine can look as professional and aesthetically pleasing as possible.
Advert 1
This is the first ad I chose. I decided to pick an advertisement for a music festival because festivals are a big part of electronic dance music. This festival in particular is famous for its EDM music therefore it would definitely be something that my target market would be interested in. Boomtown is also about spreading positive energy and welcoming everyone to the party which is something that Electra’s brand definitely supports. The ad also uses lots of bright colours and is very bold which is similar to how I have set out and designed my magazine so it wouldn’t stick out at all or look out of place. This would be a very good choice for my advertisement.
Advert 2
I think that Savage x Fenty would be a perfect brand to go inside of my cover because they are one of the most inclusive brands in the world at the moment. The brand welcomes all body types, all skin colours, all cultures, all genders, all ages and a lot more. The lingerie fashion brand also promotes “fearlessness, confidence and inclusivity.” The reason why this would be a very good advertisement is because the things I listed above are all things that my magazine supports as well. My magazine is all about inclusivity, confidence in women and feeling as sexy as possible which is exactly exactly what Savage x Fenty incorporates into their company. I honestly don’t think that there is a more ideal brand out there.
This is the second draft of my double page spread. I created it on indesign. When editing it I considered my peers reviews and things I could have improved on when I made my first draft.

To make my article as good as possible, I decided to make an article Idea development sheet which helped my to consider what I needed to include in my article and how I was going to structure it. This was very helpful.
This my first draft article :
After writing up my first draft I chose to record myself reading my draft 1 article out loud so that I could pick up on any imperfections and find places in which I could improve my article:
After reading my article out loud and listening back to it I have come up with 5 points where I can improve on my article. These are:
My final article:
In this month’s issue of Electra we will find out from Kora Star and Usher Aika on their newly confirmed relationship. After months of rumours swirling around the press and paparazzi photos snapped of the two of them hanging out together, Kora finally confirmed their whirlwind romance with a post of the two of them locking lips on her instagram page.
Kora star who recently won a grammy for her EDM accomplishments met Usher Aika, David Guetta’s son, also an up and coming EDM Dj at high school in Calabasas where they immediately hit it off and dated briefly. According to Kora, “we always had a spark but the timing was never right”. With Kora’s career picking up and Usher Aika wanting to focus on his studies their relationship quickly burned out. Usher continued to work hard and began attending Berkeley College in which he graduated with a degree in music. Afterwards he also decided to go down the route of EDM. However, a chance meeting at a nightclub in Los Angeles is what brought them back together and had them reminiscing on their past.
Now they are renting out a place together in the heart of Hollywood Hills and loving life. For any normal couple quarantine is very difficult but they seem to be flourishing. Usher stated, “it was a struggle to adjust to quarantine together at first, but it has definitely brought us closer”. According to Kora their favourite parts have been their daily hikes, binging on Pretty Little Liars and chilling in the hot tub. Usher also gifted her with her dream pooch, a Pomeranian who Kora called Sparkles. Kora stated, “he just knows me so well; we connect on so many things, like my views on feminism, the Black Lives Matter movement and our liberal perspectives, he inspires me to be the best version of myself everyday”. Many people voiced their disapproval when they first got together because of Kora’s renowned drug and party lifestyle, but it definitely seems as though Usher has calmed her down. In fact they seem almost perfect together.
In Electra’s opinion we believe that Kora and Usher will go very far. As a matter of fact we can even see marriage in the future! Although they’ve only been together for six months they have such a tight knit bond which is very rare to see.
In conclusion we can’t wait to see where their relationship takes them and we are so excited for Kora Star and Usher Aika to continue making waves in the EDM industry. Also watch out because Kora’s new tour “Freedom” is hitting Las Vegas in May and we can’t wait to see what she brings to the table.
