Before deciding whether to focus on print or film for our coursework we were given the option to do preliminary tasks. I plan to complete both preliminary tasks before making my decision. This is mock up of my magazine that I quickly drew up before taking my photograph etc. This was exceedingly helpful and made putting together the facets of my cover far easier. If I were to choose to create a music magazine I would definitely employ this technique again.
For this task I captured my own image, then put it together on a page with a header and articles etc. I decided that my key article would be about music, so I could get a greater idea of what it would be like writing articles to go inside my music magazine.
I learnt that I really enjoy writing these kind of articles, especially as I can write them about the things I know. At the moment I think I may do an alternative music magazine for my coursework as I think I will enjoy it more, and that I am more knowledgable when it comes to what to write about, and what does and does not look good when it comes to print media.
Sarah,
ReplyDeleteThis is quite good, I like the fact that you are justifying your decisions and the reason as to why you have chosen print.
HOWEVER, I think that you should re-order the page, the preliminary task for film should probably come first, as this was something that you did and helped you to realise that you did not want to do the film task
