Evaluation Prezi.

In this presentation, I have evaluated pretty much all parts of my production, and things leading up to my production. Reading through it shows many different things, and clears up some aspects of the production and pre-production, that may not have made sense, beforehand.

Two Page Spread

My two page spread worked quite well, and it looked pretty good, too.

The main thing I am impressed with, is the working QR code in the bottom right. Also, it all follows a decent pattern, and overall looks quite professional!

Contents

My contents page was, in my opinion, my worst page. I wasn't too pleased with it, but it does do everything that is needed of it. It's also still quite an interesting page, that isn't boring and it is easily readable. Overall, it still worked quite well!

Front Cover.

This is the Front Cover of my final piece. Everything on it took a lot of thought to finalise, as everything on it, is on for a reason. Nothing was easy to decide in regards to what I put, but eventually I came to a conclusion on what should be put on the front cover, and came out with this!

What do people want to ask artists?

What do people want to ask artists?

Did you always want to have a music career? (5)

Do you love what you do? (6)

Why did you become who you are? (2)

Who do you owe your success to? (4)

Could you see yourself doing anything else? (5)

What is your life goal? (3)

How long do you want to keep touring for? (7)

When is the next album out? (12)

What drives you forward? (6)

Do you have any interests, besides music? (4)

What music do you listen to? (6)

Do you like your ‘look’? (4)

Who inspires you? (8)

Where would you be without music? (5)

How great are your fans? (9)

Do you remember any stories about being on tour? (13)

Where would you most like to play? (6)

Do you feel you are recognised enough? (2)

Above, is a list of questions thought up by the public, to ask an artist that could be featured in the magazine.
The numbers next to the questions represent how many people voted for the question, people only had one vote.
From this, I can see what people want to ask artists, and which questions are the most popular, so in my magazine, I can ask the artist these questions, and get answers.

Magazine Front cover, Contents and Two page spread research.

In this Prezi presentation, I have looked at 3 different magazine front covers, contents pages and two page spreads.
I have researched these things, as it means I will have some kind of template to base my own magazine on. I will be using them as templates, as without knowing the general idea on how they are made to suit an audience, I would make an unsuccessful magazine.
Even though I will be using them as a kind of template, everything will still be my own work, and nothing will be copied.
Everything I make will be original, but following the popular trend.
From the magazine pages I have looked at, I have seen that front covers are eye catching, and all follow a similar idea of one large image, with flashy, informative text.
None of them seem to be too radical, and they cater for a very specific audience, so the same people continue to buy the magazine, and try to attract more people of the same social status or preference.
Contents pages are very distinct, too. Again, they don't really vary much, at all, and they all do exactly the same job.
Different magazines do them slightly different, some do the contents, so it shows the different pages by splitting up sections of the magazine, and then defining, page by page, what is in the sections.
Again, contents pages tend to have images on them, either to help a person know what is on the page the contents could be referring to, or to make a person excited about getting to that page, and want to keep reading to that page.
Two page spreads are done quite varied, as they can be about anything.
In the magazines I have looked at, they have all been about music, but they have all been very differently arranged, because of this, I can't follow a template as such, but look at the layout, and the way the text is arranged, and even how it is written.

Overall, from all of these, I have a pretty good idea of how magazines are usually made to look, and so I have a good idea for planning my magazine.
