- 4. Contextual References • Therewere two references that inspired me the most: -True Crimes book by Robert Jackson - Real Crime magazines True Crimes Book -A variety of crimes -Full of valid information on each of the crimes -Displays images related to each of the crimes Real Crime magazines -The layout of the images and text -Colour palette used -The spacing between text and images -The fonts used
- 5. Influences on mywork • One of the major similarities of both the covers is the layout of the cover: the text, title, images, etc. This is what I adopted to my work to try to make it look as professional looking as possible in terms of a magazine. • Another aspect that I adopted is the main topic of this issue being the centre piece, in my magazine’s case having David Koresh instead of Ian Brady. Real Crime Magazine My Magazine cover Chosen Real Crime Magazine cover
- 6. Post-Production process • Gatheringimages that I want or may want to use in my magazine, and saving them into a folder. • Gathering website links to valid sources of information on the two crimes that I have chosen for my magazine to be about, and putting the links into a bibliography. • Writing up articles before production so that I don’t have to worry about them in the production stage, and saving them to a word document. • Finding and setting up two types of page designs, double-page spread, and single-page spread, in Adobe Photoshop.
- 7. Production Process • Firstweek focused on my cover and contents page. • Then for the next four weeks I focused on the David Koresh pages. • Then for the remaining two weeks I focused on the Ed Gein pages and the back-cover. • All production work completed using Adobe Photoshop CC and Adobe InDesign after completion for the layout of the magazine.
- 8. Final Outcome Successes: • Thelayout of the cover and magazine in general • The difference in each of the pages • The overall professional magazine feel to it, especially in the cover and double-page spreads. • The contents page matching the over all style to the magazine and colour scheme throughout. Failures: • On one of the pages the text is very squished and is hard to read (shown to the right). • Some of the images used throughout look slightly distorted and stretched. • No primary images gathered.
- 9. Overall Reflection • Ithink that I have kept to my theme throughout, displaying knowledge for this particular topic chosen. • I kept the magazine simple and easy to read in most parts excluding that one page. • I stuck to the schedule, however later was ahead of my planning therefore didn’t need it no more. • I would have liked to add more pages if I had the time, potentially exploring another crime such as ‘The Moors Murders’. • I stuck to the theme of having the cover be like an actual magazine rather than a book cover which was initially discussed before starting production. • Looking back I wish I had tried to take more of my own images, so that I had more primary research.
- 10. Peer Feedback Positive Feedback: •The cover looks very professional. • Not overly detailed neither to little detailed. • The design of the cover looks like an actual magazine cover. Negative Feedback: • Accompany more text alongside the images. • Make the text more readable • Make the images look smoother and the colours • Too much going on • Take more of your own pictures My Response to the feedback: • One person didn’t really understand the concept of my chosen topic. • I disagree with ‘too much going on’ as I don’t want the pages to be plain and boring, as no one would want to read them. • I do agree with the last negative feedback in that I need more of my own images, I think that is the main aspect I would change if I had the time.
- 11. I decided tomake a new Instagram account, that showcases my work like an online portfolio. The reason I chose Instagram was because I find it to be a very easy way of sharing your work with others, as people can follow you, and you can follow other creators. I think that this alongside Issuu would be a great way of sharing my work and putting it out there for others to discover. I have decided that I am not going to University anymore, however I still want to get my work out there so that if in the future I do decide to go to University, I will have this work to showcase. I think one big strength of mine is creating covers for things like magazines, and albums. I also think that another strength of mine is image manipulation. These are things that I would have developed if I decided that I was going to University. One weakness that I had was adding the text into the pages as well as finding my own primary images, gathering images myself. This would be something that I would improve at University.
- 12. I uploaded mywork to Issuu. So that my magazine is out there and can be discovered. I also looked at forums and websites that had relevance to my magazine such as the Zodiac Killer forum website where I thought about making my own forum similar to that but on Reddit. Where people could clip through my magazine. I decided to make an Instagram page and a forum on Reddit about my magazine. This was to help my magazine become discoverable.
- 13. Homepage The first placewhere I uploaded my work was on Wix. I uploaded it to my website under the ‘FMP’ section standing for final major project. I think that Wix website creator is a great way to showcase your work just like Instagram, and Issuu. Also I can add my website link to my Instagram page, which would mean my followers could visit my website and look at the other pieces that I have done throughout the project.
