Where you need to be by Tuesday 24th November

It is getting to the stage where you should be well on your way with the production side of your coursework. Here is what I expect you to have done: 1 - a more or less completed front page. This should be completed by the 17th Nov. 2 - a more or less completed contents page. This should be completed by the 24th Nov. On the 24th, we will be moving onto the DPS. I will give you the option of an interview or an article. Remember, you will have to write this! Don't forget to post as you produce. Also, think about continuing to develop ways in which your target audience can be involved through the production process. Check out each other's blogs!!! Blah blah blah

Developing your front page and contents page

First of all, very well done to you all. The work you have produced so far is of a very high standard! Be sure to check out each other's blogs, they are all very different and interesting reads. Now, you have all sketched a plan for each page and are showing some basic ideas and how you will construct your magazine. Here are the next few stages that you should work on and will need to be developing in your own time as well: 1) Make sure you have a variety of photos taken and blogged. Comment on your decisions for taking specific photos and why you chose the location, angles etc. 2) Focus first of all on you Front page and contents page. Using Photoshop you need to manipulate at LEAST 2 images (1 on each page), however including your DPS you will have to use 4 images in total - but feel free to use more! 3) Make sure you are posting the process behind the work you are creating. Don't be afraid to add something and change it later, just make a post to explain your thought process. 4) If you want the highest grades, add some more audience feedback from initial plans or 'mock-ups' that you produce. For example, you can easily print out some copies of your mag and add some simple questions to find out how your target audience would respond to them. Have fun! PS - remember: this is the majority of your mark for this work!

Moodboard for my mag!

I decided to create a moodboard to reflect the types of images and narrative structure that I will include in my magazine. Some of the images I have chosen are... because...

I decided to also use some text in my moodboard as...
