When first given the task to create a college magazine, the author feared they would be unable to complete it due to having no experience with the required software or taking high-quality pictures. Upon reviewing their first magazine attempt, it is apparent it followed very few conventions and contained nothing worth keeping in a magazine. The magazine lacked elements like a barcode, issue number, date, and had an unprofessional look due to these and other missing elements. This was because of both a lack of skills and techniques as well as not following typical magazine codes and conventions.

- 1. When the task first began, I feared that I would not be able to complete a magazine at all. This was because I had no experience in using any of the software we were using and also I wasn’t sure how to take pictures of a high quality.
- 2. When I began. ï‚— When we first got given the task of creating a college magazine, looking back my magazine was awful! It followed very little conventions, and had nothing in anyway I feel I would keep in my magazine now. Looking at my magazine now, the difference is huge! Yo notice a major change in both.
- 3. College magazine As you can see, the magazine is of a very poor standard. It has very little positive about it. The magazine does not include a barcode, an issue number or date. Also the coversine's begin to come over his face. These are all negatives going on along with many others giving it an unprofessional look about it, and something I would not give in to try and achieve a GCSE or A- level. There is no banner and I don’t think enough cover lines and the ones I have produced I feel could be shortened down. The reason th magazine is not very good is because of my lack of skill and technique but along side me not following the codes and coventions of a magazine.
- 4. Music magazine My music magazine, is at a much higher standard in comparison to my college magazine. This is because I have had allot more time to experience the use of Photoshop and Quark express, this made it allot easier to produce higher quality things because I learnt what to do. Also I followed codes and conventions of other magazines, through looking at them and comparing them to others in the classroom giving me more analysis and understanding as to why and how things were done.
