So far I am happy with the progressive I have made with my magazine.  I have drafted my magazine pages and each page is linking together well. The pages are linking between the double-page spread and contents page. Furthermore using a colour scheme and using a bright colour palette (pink, green, orange) and choice of fonts have also helped me portray the genre of pop. I have also portrayed the genre through the choice of images, layout and headlines. However, I still have improvements to make throughout my pages. For example, getting rid of Rihanna and either changing it to my own image or adding captions in that space.

Whilst composing my media I have learnt some transferrable skills such as:

  • Communication – I have spoken to my peers and got advice and improvements I need to make. By sharing our ideas and skills we have learnt this has built a greater image of how I can adapt my magazine.
  • Design Skills – The skills I have learnt on InDesign and Photoshop have helped make my magazine more interesting with a greater range of graphic design and ideas.  I will also be able to use these skills on other posts in the future.
  • Organisation – Being able to keep on top of the workload and making sure I spend my time wisely and not just on one part of the magazine. This helps me complete my work at the right time.
