Finished school front cover

I have now finished my School front cover. For a lot of the text and sell lines i have used a drop shadow and an outer glow. I think this makes the writing stand out from the rest of the cover. It also i think makes the text easier to read.
I have used appropriate colours for the text, such as things about different colleges are written in the college colours. I have used a picture of a student celebrating their team winning. It shows team spirit and a fun atmosphere. It puts across a postitive attitude to other readers.

Over half term

During the holidays i have been doing so work for my music magazine. I have now done a draft of my front cover and my double page spread. I have done this by hand for now because it is only at the eary stages of the design.
I have also produced a questionnaire where i will eventually ask people who are my target audeince to answer the questionnaire about my magazine. I have asked questions about the font styles, colour schemes and cover and sell lines.
I have also taken my orginial images for my music magazine. I have taken a big selection of picures so i have a lot to chose from and i also need lots of images because i have a cotents page, front cover and double page spread to use them for.

India Cox - AS Media Studies

This is my blog about my AS Media Studies work! (Y) 21/09/09 - Today, I have completed lots of my work that will be put into my planning folder. First of all we were given the task to find some existing music magazine covers, and write a breif analysis of a few front covers. Some of the things we had to write about were what sort of bands would feature in this type of magazine? The general layout of the front cover?

The next piece of work we had to do was where we selected two front covers that would link to the type of music we will use for our music magazine and then write a detailed analysis of the magazine cover.

After this were we given a more practical task of where we got in to groups of about 3 or 4 and were given a camera and had to make a story out of six images. When taking pictures we had to take into consideration the framing, lighting, clarity of meaning and many other important features.

01/10/09 - Yesterday we did a photoshop workshop, it was to teach us how to use photo shop. It really helped me and now i will be able to edit my picture for my school front cover. 

We have to now make a school magazine, it will include a front cover and contents page. My magazine is called 'The Leigh'. 

A few days ago we had to take the cameras again and take some shots for our school magazine cover, i took some shots of pupils working and of some others playing sports.
