this is two examples of the type of picture that i want to use when it comes to producing my main music magazine, for my main magazine i will take two separate pictures, they will both be dressed in rock gear or matching top or something

original cover evaluation

Download draft, LITTER magazine

in the download draft there are several things in which i thought i performed well on, for example i managed to use photoshop very well, i was able to crop the images and transform them, so that they both fitted where i needed them  to be, i also used shapes, and blending options on the lettering  so that
they where more clear to read, and stand out more, i also imported a background which was meant to look like a broken wall, when i comes to taking my main background image, i will take a picture of a wall

there are several things that i could have performed better on my download draft such as, the lettering, i could have used a better font or made them bigger, or used different blending options, the pictures i used could have been better, i could have used a better back ground as im not partially happy with the background, but it was alright for the download draft, i could have positioned the text and image better

when it comes to making the actually music cover, i may even consider changing the picture to only on person standing on the right looking to the left so that the four music poster are clearly displayed

also might put white boxes around the posters and put the posters on angels to give it a more kerrang feel

prelim overview

.What you did well?
there are several things that i considered myself to done well on such as, tasking out the background, using the magic wand, making new layers, image cropping, image transformations, image manipulation, floating layers, the lettering on the front cover and the contents page have letter blending options to make them stand out more and make them more visual and easy to read, i thought my image taking was pretty good i went out in my own time and arranged with Mrs Morgan to take several year 7 in order to photo them to use on my prelim, which turned out good, i thought i made good use of Mis-en-scene, and the props, the children i photoed where in uniforms and where sharing a book which imply s that they where looking at something awesome
.what you need to improve upon?
i need to improve on my image taking, i took good pictures but there always room for improvement,the planning, using the Photoshop program on the whole
.how did you manage your time?
i thought i managed my time pretty well i get the work done in lessons, i made plans and took several pictures all leading up to the completion of the prelim task, i properly should have came back in my own time to work on my prelim, that is one of the main things that i will take into consideration when it comes to the main task, on the whole i managed my time pretty well
.Editing: What are your skills like on the image manipulations software (Adobe Photoshop) list  you briefly what you did to your main image? 
I, used the magic want to take out the background, i also used image transformation to make the image smaller and to move it into the right place on the front cover of my prelim, to get the most of the image, i also cropped the image to make it fit easier
.shot composition
when it came to taking my shot, there was several key things like i had to take into account such as, the Mis-es-scene, the props,what they where wearing, the location, the lighting what angel i wanted them to look at the camera, what angel i wanted to take the shot from  

the generic conventions of music magazine

when it comes to designing my main task music magazine, im going to have to be extremely planned, i will need to make sure i thought about the locations, the types of props i will be using e.g how they will be dressed will they be on drums, or holding guitar or even just wearing rock styled cloths looking at the camera, i will need to make several plans which will have basic things on such as the masted, and the footer, i will need to take into the house style
