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.
