Preliminary Task Information

In today's lesson Mrs Cliffe outlined what we'r going to have to do in our preliminary task and also gave us a few hints and tips for our magazines.

We were asked to talk to eachother about: Traget audiences, images, language, content, how to attract readers and logos/colours. A lot of ideas were given and i think that my notes are really going to help when it comes to actually starting this task!

After making our own notes we watched a slide show about the secrets of magazine covers. There were lots of hints and tips that would help us when doing this and finally doing our music magazine. One tip i found useful was that green, white and black were not great colours to put on the front cover of a magazine also that in pictures it's more attractive if the person has their eyes wide open. Obviously I'm not going to write all the secrets down because that would be telling!

Lastly we got to look at some of the front covers from last year. We spoke about them as a class then rated them out of 10. Looking at covers that have been made by other students gave me some good ideas and also showed me things i should steer clear of like over crowding the front cover. It was good to see the reaction from the class and to hear what they said.
