Heather Salway



Level 3 - Year 2





This is a double page spread and front cover for a magazine show casting unknown/ upcoming talent in the music industry.


My intentions with this project were to have a different take on comparison of artists and put it in a positive light instead of a more negative spin many people have if two artists are similar but are opposite ends of popularity.


My inspirations for this were based heavily around the layout and look of established magazines and integrating the stand out aspects into my design in a way I felt fit into the image I wanted to create.


What have I learnt from this course?

During my course I have learned skills that will benefit me in going into a university setting and an employment setting, as it has provided me with broad subject knowledge such as advertising and different types of photography, as well as how to use recording equipment and editing software. This ties in with learning the whole process from start to finish of how projects become products in the media industry, from film to radio.


What is my advice for anyone joining the course?

My advice for people starting this course: if you want the best results then put the effort in.
