3. Diary Entry 1 - 26th November 2015
My magazine front cover - Initial
idea - In the making:
• I first drew a rough sketch of how I
wanted my front cover to look like,
then using Photoshop I put it together
adding in colour and the other
conventions of a magazine front cover.
• Unfortunately this was a bit time
consuming, but in the end I was able to
put it together and make it look
professional.
• Now I can carry on with the rest of the
preproduction and creating the rest of
my magazine
• I would have changed the font of some
of the words and I would have added
more colour to my front cover, if I
could have done it again.

4. Diary Entry 2 - 27th November 2015
Logo - Initial idea - How I created it:
• At first I had considered creating the
logo of my magazine on Photoshop, but
I latter decided to up to create it online,
with a logo creator website. This
allowed me to save time whilst having a
logo that looked professional. Further
more I can strengthen the identity of the
brand even further, for my audience.
The logo will make my magazine easily
and quickly identifiable, setting it apart
from other magazines.
• In turn this will allow me to move on to
other parts in the preproduction and
production process of my magazine.
• If I were to do it again I would: crate the
logo straight from the logo creator
website, instead of wasting time making
it on Photoshop.

5. Diary Entry 3 - 27th November 2015
Barcode - How I created it:
• I created a barcode to put on the front
cover of my magazine, using a barcode
creating website. Doing this didn’t take
up too much of my time and the
website was easy to use.
• Since it didn’t take long to do this I
could swiftly move on to creating other
components of my magazine, so I could
complete my preproduction.
• I would use different website to create
the barcode. By this I mean that makes
it look more professional and real. This
would bring more credibility to my
front cover as if it was professionally
designed my an actual magazine
company.

6. Diary Entry 4 - 28th November 2015
My content page - Initial idea - In the
making:
• Like the front cover first I drew a basic
sketch of how I wanted my front cover to
look like. Then with the help of
Photoshop I created the background, the I
added the text and the images.
• Creating the content page was also time
consuming and it took more time than I
had anticipated, but in the end I was able
to complete it.
• Finishing the content page lets me move
forward to starting to create the rest of the
production process.
• If I were to do my content page again I
would try to use up less time to create the
content page.

7. Diary Entry 5 - 28th November 2015
Double page spread article - Initial idea
- In the making
• I also did a sketch for the double page
spread. The sketch allows me to have a
rough idea of how my article should be
laid out. Then I written the article and
created the double page spread.
• Planning and writing the actual article
took a lot longer than actually putting
every thing together to create the double
page spread.
• With the magazine done next step is to
check that I have used all the conventions
of a Pop music magazine.
• If could do it again I would make my
article longer and even more detailed than
what it currently is.

8. Diary Entry 6 - 3rd December 2015
Font research:
• Before deciding what fonts to use on my
magazine; I tested out different font
creating websites sites and dozens of
different fonts. This allowed me to
customize my magazine. There fore I
think I found fonts that will attract my
target audience.
• This allowed me to add and continue
developing my front cover, my content
page and my double page spread article.
• If I were to do it again I would test out
even more fonts to use in my magazine.
Also I would get the opinions of the
public on what fonts attract peoples
attentions. This will make sure that my
magazine is effective, when it comes to
grabbing the attention of the public.

9. Diary Entry 7 - 10th December 2015
Initial ideas for photography - Photography
Sketches:
• I sketched out the type of clothes I wanted my
artist to wear and the camera shots that I
planed to use in my magazine. The way that
the artist dressed had to me in line with the
Pop music conventions.
• This took a lot longer than I expected it to take.
I think this is because I had to redraw some of
the images multipole times, before the even
resembled clothes or faces. This allows me to
have a clearer idea on who to dress my models,
when taking the images and at what angles I
should take the images.
• I was able to redo this I would draw more
images for other camera angles and shot that I
could use on my magazine. Doing this would
give me more choice when picking what
pictures to use, on my magazine. Additionally
it gives my magazine move variety, making it
visually more interesting.

10. Diary Entry 8 - 18th December 2015
The conventions of magazines, that I have used in
designing my magazine:
• The headings, text, use of images, colour (to connotate pop
magazines
• In my magazine I will use different images that show the Pop
music genre; from the way my models are dressed to the
makeup they were, to the poses in the images.
• I will also used different fonts that I think indicate the Pop
music genre. For example the headings and the text are of
two different fonts.
• Furthermore the colours scheme used for each page of my
magazine are in line with the Pop music genre and clearly
show brand identity.
