Preliminary Exercise:
Using DTP and an image manipulation programme, produce the front page of a new school/collage magazine, featuring a photograph of a student in medium close-up plus some approximately laid-out text and a masthead. Additionally candidates must produce a DTP mock up of the layout of the contents page to demonstrate their grasp of the programme.
Main Task:
The front page, contents and double page spread of a new music magazine.
All images and text must be original, produced by the candidate(s), minimum of FOUR images per candidate.
I have chosen to do the print brief because the magazine industry always interested me, its what I aspire to become involved in after my post sixteen education. My aim is to create a new music magazine, different from all the rest but still with a touch of conventionality to it. I hope to create a front page and also a double page spread for my magazine, hopefully showing off my creativity skills. During the course i may find it to become quite challenging, one of these being as i did GCSE Media i may tend to stick to what i know so therefore i may find it slightly harder to move out of my comfort zone and experiment to create something totally out of the ordinary for me.
