Introduction

Hi, my name is Emma Bugler and i have created this blog to show the progress in the making of my music magazine for my AS coursework. To prepare for this i have also made a blog showing my school magazine:

In creating my school magazine i have learnt many skills, I have used photoshop and picmonkey to edit and arrange my images and text. I also learnt about the conventions of a magazine, his has helped me to layout my magazine in a style that would best advertise the words written and the images i chose to use. Having this knowledge is going to allow me to create a professional looking music magazine. My final outcome of my music magazine and my blog will show my progress in using photoshop and editing my magazine, meaning it will be clear that i have effectively improved my skills.

To improve my skills and knowledge of a music magazine i will be researching  different magazines looking into their genre and style. I will understand how to design my magazine depending on the target audience to make it to appeal to the reader. I will also look and the conventions of the different genre magazines. All of this research will help me understand and give me ideas on how to design my magazine to make it look most appealing.
