P5 & M4
I am happy with the front cover that I have made. I think that it was good for the reason that I made it for and looks suitable for a football magazine. I based my magazine on others that I had seen. This is important because this meant that it was effect my research and allowed to to create a template of what I needed to include and what wasn't needed. This means that when people see it they know that it professional like fourfourtwo, match of the day.
One thing that I like on my magazine is the big image on the front of my magazine. I was able to use the eraser tool. this is good because I was able to get rid of the background so that on the magazine I was able to put what I wanted around him.
The next thing that is good about my magazine is the text that I have used. The font that I have used makes the magazine professional and I used fonts that other magazines that are used. the text is also good because it helps to lead onto the rest of the stories in the magazine and makes people want to read inside of it.
I am also happy with my double page spread. I believe that I have made it good and is very professional. I have created 2 A4 sides. on one side of this double page spread is the image. To take this image I used my phone and a tripod to make sure that I was able to get a still shot and make it look professional. On the other side I have written an article about the positives and negatives of grass roots football.
One strength of my magazine is my photo. This is good because it is commonly used by magazines so that the whole of the article isn't just words it has a good picture to keep people from not getting bored or geting disinterested
another strength is the of this is the article. I have wrote an article which is interesting and went with what the magazine was about
does my product meet the client brief?
I believe my magazine does meet the brief that was set for me as the local football theme covers the topics of community and inclusion. which I discuss the local teams in area which means that people who read it will get to know about the sports in the local community. have also done this by making a front cover and double page spread which was asked for me to do. I also talk about all different teams in the area. I have done this by talking about the local area and making sure that I didn't involve anything that is out of the close area. I also did this because I know that the people in the area would be interested in them .
conventions
one convention that I have used is using the big picture in the middle of the page this is used in a large range of magazines as it is a huge draw to the magazine. the next convention that I used was a masthead at the top of my front cover so I am able to show my brand of magazine. I have put the bar code in the bottom corner of the magazine because it was similar to ones that I had seen before. I have also put strap line for all the articles in the magazine so people want to read the rest of the stories
software
For my magazine I will use Photoshop. I will use this because it has features that is needed to try and make the best magazine possible. one feature that I could is the easer tool I used this because then I was able to remove the white background from my image then I was able to put it onto the front of my magazine. Another feature that I used was to change the colour of the different aspects of the magazine. this is important because then I was able to make my magazine look a lot more interesting and will draw in a lot more people. another feature that helped me was being able to add n photos. This is important because then it means that my magazine isn't just words and will have images onto it.
File format
I have I exported this as a PDF this is good because this means that I was able to keep the quality of the images high. This is good because this means that the magazine will look very professional and will look the best possible. This is good when needing distribute the magazine as I am able to upload the magazine to a range of different places in the best way I can. I have saved it as a PDF because it means that people are unable to edit the magazine or change it this allows it to be kept professional.
