AS Reflection

Reflecting back on my AS media coursework I feel I successfully made a realistic music magazine and am proud of my piece. I feel I incorporated everything I intended too looking back at my plan and think the genre I wanted to portray is evident.

Throughout the making of my magazine I have learned alot about photoshop and other different media forms including blogger and feel that in the future I will be much more confident handling a similar task.

The grade that I recieved overall for my Media AS was a C and I feel I was let down on the written aspect i.e the examination. I feel that creating my magazine was definitely the part of the course I feel I did better with.

I feel that my magazine was a good magazine although there are areas which I could have improved on. If I was to do the task again I would probably have used different colours instead of keeping the same colour scheme throughout. I would probably have experimented more with the fonts as I feel some of the fonts I used I did not like.

I was happy with the aspects of the magazine I had taken from other magazines or inspirational texts. I felt they added a realistic effect to my magazine and portrayed an authentic indie/rock feel. I particularly liked the list of bands I used on the front cover which I had taken from NME.

Most importantly I feel I would improve my organisation as this added stress when creating my coursework. Overall I think I handled the task well and feel I have learned alot from doing so.
