In this task my main objective was to understand the different genres by doing textual analysis for my front cover, contents page and double page spread, and to be able to try and apply it to other tasks, i do that may require this.
I made my convention diagram on Photoshop due to the fact that i wanted my skills to improve. I made sure it looked colourful and interesting by using arrows and boxes. This was done to make me understand and remember where the different convention are normally positioned on the page. when i was doing my textural analysis i made sure that i had a well developed structure that will enable me to show i fully understand why certain elements are placed on the page.Furthermore, i was required to do 2 textural analysis for the front covers however, I did 3 more to show that i understand real music text. one problem i faced is that doing the textural analysis for the contents page, front cover and double spread page was quite hard at first because you had to do a lot of writing. The first textual analysis I did was hard because I didn't know what to write at first, but when my teacher explained it to me I gradually started becoming more better at it and my writing skills was improving on the way
Overall ,This task was good because it requires a lot of thinking outside the box; which will be useful when making my music magazine. Moreover it also helped me be more imaginative, and now its much easier for me to recognize the different
genres.
