This is my final production post giving an overview of my entire media coursework project. This video reflects upon each aspect of my project, as shown in the labels at the top of my blog and allowed me to look back upon all of the tasks I completed and how they helped me to achieve my final products.

Magazine Evaluation

This is my Music Magazine evaluation. I believe that in looking back at my magazine I can see how I have progressed and developed as a media student in creating this product. I am happy with my final product and believe I have justified and explained my decisions well throughout this evaluation.

Magazine Feedback

I asked my friends Chloe Baker, Samantha Harris, Ellysha Kular and Keshaa Thakrar to give me feedback on my final magazine. In being a media students they also understands the codes and conventions of music magazines and can successfully discuss whether I have adhered to them or not. I found this this feedback really useful as they all proposed very constructive comments and gave a high level of feedback to my final magazine which I took on board.

Magazine creation production log

 This is my magazine production log of me creating my magazine. In creating my magazine, my ideas that I originally envisioned altered as I saw what ideas worked and what ones didn't. It is evident in my production log for my magazine that I altered my ideas and changed them as I went along and progressed in creating the design and layout for my final piece. I am very confident and happy in the professionalism and cool, music magazine flare I gave to my product.

Chosen Images

These are the final images I chose for my magazine. I chose these images as I wanted to use a variety of artists and locations to portray my magazines versatility regarding it's music artist content. The majority of my images are of my feature artist as this is a typical convention of music magazines and the remainder of the images are of artists that are also in my magazine that feature on the contents page. Some of the images I used are from social media sites such as Instagram and Twitter as I wanted to give the social media section a realistic feel as to the types of images there would be and also the same quality of the images. I am happy with the images I have chosen and I believe they will work well within my magazine.

Contact sheet/photoshoot

This is my contact sheet for my photoshoot. These are all of the photos I took within my photoshoot with my friend Lily Bartlett playing the solo R&B artist Sierra Banks. I believe these photos are varied and they successfully portray the character of the artist I was trying to get across as well as the style of my magazine.
