Masthead designs
Today in lesson I worked with some ideas for my masthead designs, I used different tools such a the drag tool, to expand individual letters to make it more unique and make the masthead more memorable. I especially like the choice of colour which is purple I believe that this will be the most suitable colour. Below are some of my ideas for the masthead, I have come to a conclusion that Bona Fide will be the name of my magazine it simply means authentic, genuine and real.
Also I am most reluctant to pick the first design this is there is no other masthead out there which looks as quirky and different to this.

Media product evaluation presentation
Here is the presentation I have created to justify my reasons for using specific technologies for each question of my evaluation:
Q1:
The
technology I have decided to use for question one is a slideshare,
I
believe this specific software is appropriate as question one has more data
that needs to be covered and I can justify my reasons efficiently using this
technology. Alongside text pictures will be added as
well as annotated to ensure I answer the questions completely.
Q2:
Q3:
The technology I have decided to use for question three is spiderscribe, I believe that by using spiderscribe I can create a well answer for Q3. I will also be adding images alongside text. It is a easier software to navigate as well as explore from.
Q4:
Q2:
The
technology I have decided to use for question two is
stupeflix,
, by
using this technology I can create a short video clip which
explain why
my
media product represents a particular social group.
I think that this is a suitable software as it is not just interactive but a
unique way of presenting my answer.
Q3:
The technology I have decided to use for question three is spiderscribe, I believe that by using spiderscribe I can create a well answer for Q3. I will also be adding images alongside text. It is a easier software to navigate as well as explore from.
Q4:
The
technology I have decided to use for question four is a
slideshare
the
reason being is that although it is quite a short answer images could be added
and the software chosen makes it look far more professional than an ordinary powerpoint
presentation.
Q5:
Q5:
The
technology I have decided to use for question five is
slideshare.
For this to happen I first have to create a powerpoint and within this I will use images as another way of presenting my answer.
Q6:
Fir this question I will be using a prezi, this is an interactive way of presenting my answe I will be using the facilities they accomodate on this sofware for example the layout and background design.
Q7:
Fir this question I will be using a prezi, this is an interactive way of presenting my answe I will be using the facilities they accomodate on this sofware for example the layout and background design.
Q7:
The
technology I have decided to use for question six is spiderscibe
because once again there is rather a lot of
information that needs to be covered for this question and spiderscribe
most suitable
for this.

NME examples for my music magazine
After browsing on the internet, researching on ideas for the front of my music magazine I decided to analyse NME in depth as it based on the genre of rock which links to my chosen genre which is indie and indie caters for rock as well. I especially liked how the bold red masthead standed out also, because it is only three letters it makes it more likely to be memorable for the buyers
Therefore taking this in to consideration I wanted to also have a short masthead so I came up with IND.
