During the creation of my evaluation I had to answer 7 questions related to the research and planning stages. For the evaluation I had to use Powtoon, Photoshop, Powerpoint and Prezzi. I was familiar with Powerpoint and Photoshop so had little difficulties with them, however I had never used Powtoon or Prezzi. I think that it was more difficult to use Powtoon as it had many features to include such as animation and timing also had to be correct. Prezzi was more simple to use as it just required you to type your text in boxes. I also had to create 4 different moodboards that are related to my audience. I did this using photoshop, It was pretty easy as I already got used to it. But in the end I was pleased how everything turned out. I had to get a group of people to help give me feedback on my magazine pages to construct my post production feedback.

Creating my double page spread was easier than creating the front cover and contents page. The first draft made was the one I decided to use because I felt that it was the article was already written out so I just made equal columns on photoshop and pasted it. The hardest part of this part was choosing my typography. It was hard to choose one as there were so many good fonts to choose from. I was able to edit it by using tools such as the gradient tool. I used the technique of hue to make my picture blend with the double page which I think makes the whole page complete.
Over the past weeks I have been working on my contents page. The contents page was in my opinion the most difficult page to construct. My initial template for my contents wasn't as good as I wish it to be so I decided to completely rearrange it and start from scratch. I placed all the features and regulars etc down one side and the images on the other side. This made my contents page look much more presentable. I used photos from my on site photo-shoot and some from my off site photo-shoot. I used a font different from my masthead so that it has a different variety of fonts. The colour scheme of the contents page was very similar to my front cover, (Black, Red and White) this made sure that there were similarities with both pages.
The front page was alright to create. First I had the template from before so I knew what my front cover should look like. The 1st process was getting all the content onto the front page, this stage was pretty easy as all the do was just type up all the cover lines and masthead and place it on the cover. The next stage of the making my front page was choosing the right picture. I believe that I made the right choice of image. At first I didn't really like the layout I made so I made some minor changes to it. I think these changes benefited my cover page and made it look better.
This task was taken place inside a different classroom inside the college because it had all the special equipment such as the camera as lighting kit. I had to choose one of my other classmates to take a picture of so I picked Omar. I took the pictures myself and made him do poses that were relevant to the genre of music that I selected.
Over the holiday period got set a task to take pictures that were then later going to use for our magazine covers. I took my photos with my friends at a local park and around the area. I took decent pictures as the weather was sunny, this helped my photos look better with the perfect lighting. I took around 30 photos for my magazine. I liked most of the pictures that I took but some I didn't. The photos that I didn't like were either because of the shadows in the background or the poor choice of background.
For this task I had to create a double page that was full of columns of articles that I would use for my final piece. The article consisted of an Q&A which I had to make up random questions that my fictional character would have to answer. The different question were about various topics. I tried to make the article as realistic as possible. I done this by asking question that people would usually ask music artist.
This section of the coursework was fairly easy. All I had to do was think of 8 different poses and costumes that are highly related to grime artists. Such as hats, tattoos etc. Then I would have to find images of grime artist wearing the selected pieces of costume and place them onto my website.
