Preliminary Task evaluation
This first task of a school magazine was a struggle to complete as I have had very little experience with photoshop in the past, I felt that I knew what I wanted out of this first piece of work I had a basic idea of how I was going to plan the layout of my magazine but it fell short when coming to create my magazine. Overall I feel i could greatly improve the quality of my piece, music magazine.
The front cover of the preliminary task looked close to what I wanted it to be but it didn't look as well as it could of done, I fell that I will greatly improve on this with my final music magazine piece because the preliminary task front cover looks boring and uninteresting.
The contents page, looks ok but it looks extremly dull in the way that I had presented it, the pictures seemed boring and uninteresting and the colours used in this piece were quite dark and there was nothing paticularly interesting about them. I feel that with my music magazine the presentation of my contents page needs to be different I feel that I could add more colour to the piece.

Learning Process
Throughout this exercise, I feel that I have learn't alot throughout both planning and creating my products both preliminary and final posed and interesting challenge. I feel that I understand photoshop alittle more than I did before although I had to struggle through my photoshop work as I had diffcultys learning about photoshop, it was not untill later on which I started to understand photoshop I was advised to look at youtube tutorials to improve.
I feel that I will use blogger again at some point as it is quite a good program to use, it is also quite a simple program to use seeing as it works as an online diary of sorts.
Prezi, is another program which I feel that I have learnt from. I feel that is a better system for showcasing information than powerpoint and its definatley something I will consider working on in the future.

Further research into the music magazine industry
Music magazines are extremly profilic UK and there are quite a few around covering various genres of music, the genre covered most is mainstream/pop music although there are various branches of 'music magazine' which depends what you want such as some magazines being based around certain instruments.
My magazine product would come under the nostalgia magazine genre as it is focused on people who are intrested on artists from 50s/60s, there are also hints of trying to modernise the genre of music im focusing on with the introduction of new upcoming jazz artists.
The music magazine industry, is also willing to change directly to what is popular/unpopular at a certain time for example magazines would move from lady gaga to Adele quickly to suit what people want.
