I have chosen to do a college
magazine instead of a school magazine as i feel that whilst I’m at college, I'd
be able to get more inspiration at college then just from my experience
at secondary school. I began to look at existing college
magazine covers on the internet. At first I thought it would be difficult to
analyse them, but from learning the key elements of a front cover in my media
lessons, i was able to complete a brief analysis of them (labelling an NME
magazine with elements such as 'mast head', 'main headline' and more)
As this isn't going towards our final grade and is preparing us for our music magazine, i felt that having to show our own examples of different camera angles has made me feel much more confident for when i actually take photographs. In this project, i chose to take a photograph of Jamie and Chloe, long shot, as i wanted them standing in front of a brick wall which made them stand out for when i add text to the image. I got my models to hold books as this will relate to some of the cover lines and main headline of the magazine; such as 'exam preparation'. As they are college students and holding books, it will look how the audience expects students to look (conventions).
When drafting my contents page and front cover i felt confident and enjoyed having to think of what i needed to include so the conventions of the cover and contents page were what to audience expected. I chose to set the Front cover like the green college magazine which i analysed. As for the contents page, i decided to use the layout used by 'Q' magazine contents which i labelled and analysed. I feel both layouts are simple yet eye catching and suit the expectations of the audience. When I got to the Photoshop stage of the task, i found this quiet easy and enjoyable from the preparation i had done for the task which made it simple. I wanted to use an image of a fellow student which i got to take a photo of in my photography class as he is stood in college grounds and it relates with the magazine as it is for wyke college.
