Brief- initial thoughts

 I am initially drawn to the magazine brief as I enjoyed creating a magazine for my NEA in GCSE’s and I have some ideas on which magazines I would like it to be similar to. I am more confident on Photoshop than IMovie and have used Photoshop a lot more.

Test Music Video- 4/3/24

 I have learned how to shoot and edit part of a music video in this task and next time, I would take more time in getting more interesting shots and try out more effects when editing such as opacity.

Big Issue Front Cover- 23/1/24

 In this task, I have learned how to follow a style from a magazine and how to create a relevant cover. I am pleased with my headline as it is a believable headline that the magazine would use and the placement of everything on the cover went well. However, next time I would cut out an image of the celebrity so that I could try placing the name of the magazine behind them.

The Big Issue Infographic- 20/12/23

 I have learned more about The Big Issue as a magazine and company during this task and how to create an infographic. I would change the distribution of the text next time as in the circles, it looks slightly crowded compared to the boxes.

Brand Marketing Pitch- 21/11/23

 

In this task, I learnt how to choose a suitable candidate to represent a brand by researching different celebrities and companies to find a relevant match of Beabadoobee and Depop. I am very pleased with the outcome as I did a lot of detailed research and I think the design of the infographic fits the celebrity and the company well.
