PRELIM TASK:Audience Feeback

PRELIM TASK:Final Front Cover and Contents Page

Here is my front cover and contents page of my college magazine:

The way in which both the cover and contents page work together and are coherent is through the colour scheme which is red, black and white and is shown on both pages. 

I used the same fonts for both the cover and contents page. I used the Varsity font for both the title 'contents' and the masthead as well as using the font for parts of the cover lines and the numbers on the cover page. I then used sprocket BT for the text font as well. 

Another convention I used for both the cover and contents page is the use of graphics. I used the same graphics to include something both eye catching to the reader as well  something coherent on both pages.

PRELIM TASK:Font ideas

I searched for fonts that would reflect the theme and genre of my magazine and I narrowed it down to these three fonts. I found that they stood out from the rest in the sense that the font style was a classic school font.

 

I decided to choose this font and adding the colour red to it as I believe it fits the brief and looks bold, clean and fresh. It’s a font style that is very clear to read and will attract the target audience I am aiming at. This is due to the fact that it relates back to the font being correlated to a college magazine thus making it suitable for this particular audience.

PRELIM TASK:Reader Profile

Hi, my name is Jessica and I am a 16 year old student moving onto to sixth form this September. The subjects I am planning on studying are media studies, Art, English Literature and ICT. The reason as to why I have chosen these subjects is because I enjoy creative subjects which allow me to express myself. My most favourite subject would be English Literature due to my passion of reading and writing. Although I enjoy all my subjects my least favourite would be ICT. My hobbies involve reading books, swimming and listening to music. My favourite genre of music is pop, I love listening to the latest hits on the radio. My main worries would be trying to fit into a new environment as well as strugglig to balance my social life with my work. I also have a concern of time management and so I hope to recieve some help on eradicating this issue.   

PRELIM TASK: Magazine Deconstruction

Here I deconstructed a magazine cover.

PRELIM TASK:

Hello and welcome to my AS media Blog, here I will post all of my year 12 media work so I hope you enjoy!

The brief for our first project is to create the front cover and contents page of a college magazine. I have been taking into consideration the target audience of my college magazine which will be students moving from GCSE to A level. The jump at this level is truly a difficult one to embrace and the magazine will revolve around providing advice on how to overcome the difficulties. Considering the target audience and the genre of the magazine I have a few initial ideas of what to name the magazine. At the moment the title I am considering is 'Reach' as it relates to students reaching their goals when they come to college or sixth form.

I hope to expand on my ideas during this project and create a successful final product.
