Hopefully your projects are going well and you are at the stage of mocking up a few different versions of your front covers. Here are some things to consider:
1. Your blogs need to be specific and use MEDIA LANGUAGE, for example, if you are blogging about other college magazine, use and example and then add some analysis. Something like, 'High Profile used an image of 3 girls, who have their faces painted. This was taken in close up and their smiling faces give the impression they are happy at school and learn in a fun, active environment.'
2. We want to know HOW and WHY you have reached decisions about your front cover. Link this you to research into other college magazines, published magazines you have analysed and your questionnaire data. For example, 'I want to create a bright, colourful magazine, in the style of Heat, which uses lots of teasers, plugs and sell lines. Using my research questionnaires and from speaking to students, I discovered they wanted articles on ................. and therefore this influenced my choice of sell line, which are going to be..........................'
3. Give details of the photo you are planning to take:
- Who will be in it? (gender and ethnicity)
- Where exactly will it be taken?
- What costumes / make up do you want?
- What props are needed?
- When are you planning to take it? (No 'actors' can be taken out of lessons)
4. What fonts / colours have you chosen and WHY?
5. What's your masthead / title and WHY?
6. What feedback did you get from your classmates / teachers? How did this influence your final decisions?
Keep blogging!!
