I asked a cross section of people what they thought of my
school magazine, they replied saying that for a first try it was not bad, but
could have been greatly improved, another person mentioned that it could use
the picture could have covered the whole front and the text could be on top in
a colour that is easily visible, less negative space, the straplines on your
magazine are in a white box on the left third of our magazine instead of on the
magazine

The history of skate
punk (the music style I will put into my magazine)
The musical style of
skate punk combines the intensity of hardcore punk and thrashcore with more
melodic song writing. However, the earliest skate punk bands had a more raw
sound which generally became more melodic over time.
There is a considerable amount of overlap between
the sound of skate punk and other forms of punk, so many bands classified as
skate punk also fit into genres such as pop punk, melodic hardcore, thrashcore,
metalcore and crossover thrash.
Skate punk started in
Early-1980s California, where skateboarding was growing in popularity and was
considered a form of rebellion. Bands that influenced the genre include Black
Flag, JFA, Agent Orange, Minor Threat and Bad Religion. The Big Boys from Texas
and JFA from Arizona are widely considered to be the first skate punk bands.
Both bands were made up entirely of skateboarders and played loud and fast
music designed to match the intensity of skateboarding. Bands such as RKL,
NOFX, Stalag 13, The Black Athletes, Tales of Terror, Hogan's Heroes, The
Faction, and Suicidal Tendencies were also among the first wave of skate punk
bands, with the latter band also paving the way for skate punk bands to play
funk metal.
The 1990s saw a rise
in the popularity of skate punk as it evolved to be more melodic. During this
time skate punk bands experienced a fair amount of commercial success and were
featured in events such as the Warped tour. Blink-182's first two albums,
Cheshire Cat and Dude Ranch, were skate punk, and brought large popularity to
the genre. Sum 41's major label debut All Killer, No Filler contained some
skate punk elements.
Skater punk is mainly
the style of punk used in skater videos, such as Thrasher and other popular
skater websites.
Action Plan
For the magazine I will be making, I will need to take
images around the school, I will then upload them to a computer and edit them
to the size and shape I need for my magazine, I will use photoshop for this and
then implement it onto the front cover, I will do the same for the double page
spread and for the contents page.

First attempt at a music magazine
I was happy wit ht the turn out of the edited pictures but I could not find a font that seemed to fit in with the theme of the cover, overall I am pleased with my first attempt at the cover.
