Hello & welcome...

Hello and welcome to my blog, my name is Saskia Hutton and I have researched, planned and created a print production of my own as part of my As media course. My college centre number is - 25200 My candidate number is - 7299 I have produced a music magazine based around pop and chart music, as well as it being a 'festival edition'. I decided to make it a festival edition so it is different and fun. I have really enjoyed this project and it has enabled me to use lots of different softwares I hadn't used before. I hope you enjoy exploring my blog!

Draft analysis

This was my first edit of the cover page of my magazine. I didn't choose this one over my second edit because it is lacking in detail and presentation. As well as this, it does not include typical magazine conventions such as a barcode which my final cover page does. My final piece also has more of a festival feel to it and is a lot more eye-catching. I created my magazine using the software, photoshop.

In today's lesson I have been planning my articles that will be featured on the double page spread in my magazine. I have themed the articles around festivals and useful tips. I have also set out how the presentation of my production will look. I have done this so I am organised and know exactly what I'm doing.

Online tutorials and responses - 19/1/16

As I was not very confident on knowing how to upload my final pitch video onto my blog, I watched an online tutorial which described step by step how to embed the video from the software I used which was Vimeo. From this tutorial it enabled me to upload my video onto my blog without getting confused and now I also know what to do for next time. Apart from this, I mainly asked for help on how to use certain softwares from students in my media class, as that way I found it easier to understand and see in person how it works.
