I went straight to analyzing three double page spreads of my chose in this lesson, i chose three different double page spreads as i wanted to widen my knowledge of what was used in certain areas to make the magazine so popular (i chose to do three very famous music magazines e.g. Q so that i know that the magazine is successful). I have gone into a lot of detail with all my analyzing so that i get the best outcome and can refer back to this whilst making my final product and refresh my memory of why i chose to do these certain things and why i believe that they are effective.

I started to analyse three content pages. I chose to do three similar ones as i liked the design and was most likely to use for my template, but they were all slightly different in unique and original ways such as the size and placement of the title, the color scheme, how they placed the text etc. but doing this task inspires new ideas of how to make my magazine look more professional and sophisticated and appealing to the audience. i go into a great deal of depth of analysis with my analyzing on the magazine as i believe that it will help me a lot when i have finished my product and i can look back to it and remind myself why i thought this was effective.

In the recent lesson i carried on finishing my three analysis of the front covers i have chosen. I then moved on to the next part of the task which was to do an analysis of three contents pages within a music magazine i chose to do three completely different contents pages with different target audiences so that i could see the difference in the layout etc. which this would also help me when making my magazine so i can see what worked well. I will continue to do this task at home and the beginning of the next lesson until it is completed.
