Production!! - Changes/Challenges

Changes and Challenges along the way!!


Changes to the main cover!!


Well there have not been many changes to my work i had made my mind up from the start of what i wanted to accomplish however, as any project you have to make adjustments based on what you have to work with so there have been some changes to my work since when i started. Originally my main idea was to have the model i chose for my main article to be standing against a wall during the day however, upon getting to the point where i had to take my pictures i changed my mind as i found this too conventional however, still liked the idea and so did the same but for the second image of the artist that i was going to have on my contents page. I chose to make my model pose in a park up against a tree for a number of reasons the first one being the green colors in the park mixed with the bright lighting really suited the color scheme of my magazine and therefore, made it desirable. The second reason why i chose to have it in the park was because of the connotations it carries which is that it says to the reader of how the artist is a natural talent which i liked the idea of. 


Also on my main cover originally the strap line "Enter the Beat Zone" was not planned that came about when i was reading up on the conventions of a magazine and also after research i found that a magazine should have a strap line that carries the theme of the title and therefore, that is how the strap line was made.


Another major change that impacted the look of my magazine cover was that the font that i had originally placed after analysis was not easily readable and therefore, needed to be changed. After the font was changed the over all look of the text on the page looked too simple and so the layout of the text was arranged a little to make the magazine cover more appealing and to add the excitement on the magazine again.


Changes to the Contents Page!!


Again there where not many changes made to my contents page the basis of what i wanted was present and followed the trend of the draft contents page that i had made however, after it was completed it looked overly simplistic and therefore, where i had kept the black margin i added the heading of the magazine that was on the main cover ( Beat Zone) in the black margin except this time i rotated it vertically so it would look more interesting. This made the contents page look slightly more interesting as it also added color and extended my intended color scheme.


Changes to my article!!


The layout for my article was already decided before i had created it and in terms of the pictures that was all going according to plan apart from the picture of my model sitting in the chair this picture had been changed numerous times as it did not suite the over all look of my main article. 


Also the article itself came out too short and therefore, the only change that i needed for this was too make it a paragraph longer and too add a bit more text here and there. 


In terms of changes my project went well because there where not many changes that needed to be done to my project only very minor changes needed to be done.


Challenges!!


The main challenge when it came to my project was making everything work with each other as i had a set number of ideas however, when it came to putting them together this was difficult. Also when it came to taking my pictures this was a challenge as i did not know what type of setting to have my picture in and also in what stance i should have my model posing for me in. 


In conclusion apart from what was explained the project went well.
