Pictures

I have been and taken some photos, i have taken three i like the picture where all the students are looking at the camera as it engages the audience, the other two pictures are okay, but i was thinking of using one of the other pictures in my content page. See which picture you like folks as i could do with some feedback!!!!!.

The Plan

Picture Ideas

I need to think of what picture to take, I was thinking of getting a group of friends to got out by the cannon or by the castle, I need a medium close up of a group of people, maybe doing something humorous to engage and entertain my target audience, it needs to be interesting so that it does not bore the audience.



This is the layout I will use I will insert the picture where its says picture and where it says masthead I will add the name What’s Happenin’. Then I will put some cover lines in to try and attract the audience I will try to put in interesting topics including fashion, music, and film. The colour scheme I was thinking of using is orange and green. Then I need to look at magazines content pages to give me ideas to setup mine.
It must include pictures and page numbers.

Plan Selected, Now for the Picture

Right, I have got the plan for the front. I am using the top design. Now to decide what picture to use has anyone got any ideas ?

Which Layout ?

Hello, guys and girls :) i need your input to which of my designs would be good ? I quite like the top one but let me no, that would be much appreciated

2nd Textual Analysis

Today I have looked at the student magazine Smaart Talent. It is a student magazine aimed at Black and Minority Ethnic Students which discusses careers. The Masthead is big and bold and has a kind of 3D effect which engages the audience, it also has a shining effect this makes it look modern.

There is a medium shot of Miquita Oliver who is a well known celebrity, she is looking directly at the camera making eye contact, she looks quite cheeky as she is chewing bubblegum, which can be related to the head line, 'Miquita goes Pop' which is a pun a play on words, as she is very much involved with pop music and she used to present pop World which is humourous and entertaining.

Textual Analysis

Today I have looked at student magazine, first car. It is a student magazine aimed at young drivers, the Masthead is very big and bold to gain attention from the reader. The colour scheme of this magazine is simple, white, black and yellow but is eye catching to its audience.

The head line is at a slant to compliment the picture, its also lets it audience know what the cover picture is about, (the Inbetweeners are doing an interview), they are also relevant to the student mag as the show, the inbetweeners is about students so it gives the student effect, and shows what target audience the magazine is going for.

The picture depicts The Inbetweeners in a group shot, the shot is slanted to make the picture more interesting, they are all stood around an old banger of a car, which is in the show, to create humour and to give the idea of a first car which the magazine is trying to portray.

Action Plan- First Lesson

For my media coursework project, I have been asked to create a magazine aimed at students, I have been asked to create the front cover and contents page. To guarantee I am aiming at the right target audience, I will have to think carefully about layout, colourand content.

So my action plan for my first task is to create the student Magazine cover, and content page, I have 4 weeks to complete this task. So my plan is to :

Week 1

I am going to plan the set up of my magazine and do some research into other media magazines to compare them to my own. I shall also think about font, colour, background, content and photos. I shall look at these aspects and try to fit them together to create an effective magazine, which students would purchase. I need to select a good name for the magazine, to capture my target audience.

Week 2

I am going to start creating the student magazine, primarily I am going to work on The front cover, I need to put everything together to see how it looks, and get some general feedback on how it looks and wether it has an effective vibe. I will also make sure I have selected the the correct colours, photos and fonts. I will also have a look at getting some intresting content.

Week 3

I will look at contents page and think about what is to go in my magazine, then i'll design a background and put all of the stuff in that I want. I will decide on the subjects discuss in my magazine and work on making it look professional. I will put some apropriate pictures in to portray what is going on in the magazine, this will also make the magazine more entertaining.

Week 4

Week 4 is all about finishing off making sure everything is in place and it all makes sense to its audience, I will also evaluate to make sure it is exactly how i want it to be . I will also make changes to anything that I do no like or do not think is relevant.
