Front cover and contents page completed!!!!
Ok so, ive completed both my front cover and contents page and in my opinion neither of them are half bad, anyways now ive got these out of the ways things are starting to look up for me now i have 4 hours to complete my double page spread but i may just do it all at home and spend my media lessons relaxing.
Front cover almost complete!!!
Just writing to give you all an update about how my magazine front cover was coming along, ive basically completed it now all ive got to do is cut out the photo's that ive taken and add them to my front cover, i have also started work on my contents page which hopefully shouldn't take as long as my front cover.

Music Magazine update
Heres a quick update on how things are going with my music magazine so far, obviously i didn't start it very long ago so im still in the opening stages but ive started going onto photoshop and well just looking at the many different things it allows you to do in the hope of getting a better grasp of photoshop. I also created an extremely rough draft for my front cover it was pretty terrible, probably the worse piece of work i have ever produced in my life but im still learning so i'm sure you can all cut me some slack.

The start of something beautiful
In this lesson we were given the task of beginning to think about what our music magazine would be called and what genre it was going to be and stuff like that, I had decided that the genre of my magazine would be rock/metal music i chose this Genre because it is the genre of music that i listen to myself so i thought it would allow me to have a better understanding of what people want to see.
Coming up for a name for my magazine would be one of the toughest parts, i decided that the best way to go about it would be to brainstorm what words came into my head when i thought of the word rock, loads of different words came flying into my head from all angles the majority of the words i thought of involved guitars or drums, nothing really stood out and grabbed me. After a few minutes of complaining about how hard this decision actually was, suddenly the word distortion popped into my head it was just what i was looking for, and just like that the rock magazine Distortion was born and was ready to take its first steps in the world.
Deciding on the name of the magazine was a hollow victory as i soon realised i had to create a pitch to show Mrs Rogers that included information about what my target audience will be, what the magazine contained and so on. I then had to draw up some kind of plan of what my front cover would look like but as you could probably tell from previous posts im not exactly a creative person. I went for a crazy yellow and black design that in my head looks really cool but we will have to wait and see, i then decided that the main story for my double page spread would be an "interview with a teenage rock sensation " this is generic enough that it would be easy for me to adapt the story when i need to if i change my mind in the future.
The final task for me was to show Mrs my work and get her opinion of it, overall she seemed happy with my work aside from a view punctuation issues but everybodies human right, the next set of lessons are just gonna be me doing my own thing and trying to get stuff done so my next few posts may seem a tad erratic, my apologies.
