Post-Production techniques and processes (P5, U3)

Learning Outcome 4 (U3):Be able to carry out post-production techniques and processes for an original media product to a client brief. 

Strengths and Weaknesses of my Front Cover
I have exported these as JPEG images so that the client is able to open the files.

                                                                   
Some of the strengths of my front cover of my magazine is the initial notice to my main cover line, the use of a unique font to symbolise jack Tyler by saying that this font is for specifically him attracts the reader as well as the unique colour scheme of a bright vibrant colour in a typically darker background really attracts peoples attention. The use of a serious rough font for my masthead also represents the genre of rock which I have been doing well. the use of a bold and simple font for my cover lines also allows them to stand out well whiles being able to keep the attention focused on the main cover line. I have followed the briefs requirements also to use a JPEG for both my front cover and Double page and by doing this have also given my magazine a high quality finish on my online copies which will of course follow on to my hard copies.
Some of the weaknesses of my front cover is the lack of use of tools such as a puff on my magazine front cover. If I had included this I could have potentially made my magazine more enticing for my target audience of 18-40 to look at as there is  less dead space on the front cover. To apply to my target audience people who enjoy rock and are at a varied range of ages will also feel that this magazine doesn't have an amazing amount of content to offer due to a less cluttered front cover, essentially a lack of content on the front cover could be a downfall here. Another weakness could potentially be that the background is too dark, because of this the actual body of my main image is blending with the background too much so its hard to see what he is wearing.



Strengths and Weaknesses of my Double Page spread


Some of the strengths of my double page spread is the extremely neat and simple format for my written article. I have also used the same font style for the title of the body text as well as added a third font to create a really appealing title to make you want to read the article more. I have also added my QR code to promote my online edition and target my younger audience whiles interesting all ages.I have followed the briefs requirements also to use a JPEG for both my front cover and Double page and by doing this have also given my magazine a high quality finish on my online copies which will of course follow on to my hard copies.Some of the disadvantages of my double page spread is the simple main image, I could have used different clothing for my double page as I could have connoted the genre of rock in a different way in this double page spread.

Meet the client brief (P5, U3, M4, U3, D1, U3)

Learning Outcome 4 (U3): Be able to carry out post-production techniques and processes for an original media product to a client brief.  For my front cover sketches progression: 1)  For this first initial design of my front cover I planned on having a very neat and formal foreground as well as wanted to present my original colour scheme of red, white and black. Within this I used very basic tools such as colour change to again represent my colour scheme. I also included a picture of a bar code to help realise my magazine first sketch. To justify the use of my colour scheme gave me a good starting ground to be able to create and slowly work my way up improving my magazine as well as using a simple black background followed this and also connoted a serious tone to the magazine which is Rock based. The way I used the rectangle tool within my magazine was to create a separating gap of white which fits my colour scheme from the masthead and some ...

Plan and develop pre-production materials (P3, U3, M2, U3,)

Learning Outcome - (U3) Be able to plan and develop pre-production materials for an original media product to a client brief  P3 - Develop pre production materials for an original media product Moodboard used in my intended final magazine Here I've printed a moodboard to present my genre of my final design such as Rock On! The reason I chose to use this moodboard is because it gave me a good strong representation of rock. Fonts & Colour Schemes used For my colour scheme of my final design I chose to use 4 main colours of red, white, black and grey. The reason I chose to use these 4 main colours for my scheme is because typically rock can be represented through very dark colours and typically magazines will include too many colours therefore to keep it simple and conventional to the genre I have chosen these 4 colours. Legal Forms To Allow usage of Artists and area Here I have done 3 different fo...

Create production materials (P4, M3: U3)

Image
P4 U3: Create preproduction materials to be used in the original media product. M3 U3: Create production materials that follows the codes and conventions of the chosen genre for the media product. Thumbnail of Pictures Why I chose these photographs and why I didn't choose some of the others Overall final photos I have chosen was photo 76 and 99, I have chosen these photos  The reason I have chosen these photos is because I think that the natural lighting in the background as it gets progressively darker applies well to the theme of my magazine Front cover and DP spread. The confident positioning and posing of my artist in these images also connotes Rock and a powerful message as he is looking down at you slightly. This also conventionalises with the clothes Jack is wearing in this photo as It is a darker colour to fit a darker rock theme. The reason I decided to not use other photographs such as image 77 for my front cover and image 68 for my doubl...
