RECONSTRUCTION FRONT COVER

This is my finihsed reconstructions of ‘GLAMOUR’ magazine, my model obviously looks different to the main model in the image but I have tried to make her similar by using the same facial expression and her positioning. I have also tried to make the text font and colours look the same as much as possible from the options I had.

This is a vouge magaizne contents page and I have decided to use this contents page to inpire my work. Vogue is a highly respected magazine in the fashion industry and a lot of profesional fashion magazines take inspiration from this magazine. I like the layout of the text on the page, its simple but still eye catching and I think that the colour scheme would go with a lot of different images/ models costumes because they are popular colours and tpically go with everything. A lot of contents pages have more than one image but I have found that in my opinion I think that the one image looks much more effective and dramatic.

This is my reconstruction of the fashion magazine 'VOGUE'. I chose to use this magazine because it is extremely popular all over the world and a lot of other magazines copy off this magazine and in the fashion world ‘VOGUE’ is like the Bible. I want to base my magazine on ‘VOGUE’ because it looks very professional and has a very good reputation.

AS reflection

The past year of media (AS) has taught me a lot, I am now quite confident in the area although it has took a lot of time and work. At first I struggled to keep up with the terminology but the lecturer Emma gave us all sheets with all the words on we needed to learn which helped a lot. I really enjoyed making the music magazine and doing all the photo-shoots with my friends, it was hard to find people who were confident enough to pose for the pictures but I got there in the end.

Research and planning was very good, I enjoyed the work because it was interesting and we got a lot of choice on what we wanted to do, which I think made me a lot more interested in the work. The work wasn’t easy and you had to put a lot of personal time into the work but it wasn’t boring and Emma gave us all the details and deadlines that we had to complete and meet.

Working with a deadline that Emma gave us helped me a lot because then I could fit the extra work around my own timetable of being at work and my social life and other college work. I also had to create a timetable of when I was going to post posts onto my blogger account which helped me a lot because I could decide when to do the work and Emma didn’t mind what time of the day the posts had to be posted. Blogger has a option where you can put a ‘schedule’ on when the post will be posted, this means that I could complete the work and if its early you can edit the time so that it posts later when you aren’t on blogger.

The exam for media and revising for it was the hardest aspect in my eyes, there was two different sections to the exam and I understood the first one great, which was TV drama because I enjoyed it but the second section was film, it took a lot of work to understand this work, I even had to stay behind for extra lessons.
