Beginning and progress of my magazine

In the past month, I have been working on my magazine. I have currently created a draft of what my final magazine cover, double page spread and contents page will look like but I will work on making improvements on it. At the beginning of year 12, I didn't know much about the thought and things that go into a magazine, but as we went through the course, I realised that a magazine includes a lot of work and thought but we don't tend to notice it as we are used to magazines looking professional in almost every shop we enter. When we were planning what we are going to use in our magazine, I had barely knowledge but we then went through what goes in a magazine (on previous blog entries), which helped me develop an understanding of a magazine.
I think one of the mistakes I have made is not making a drawn plan of what I'm going to include on my front cover, double page spread and contents page.
