Update

Over the last few lessons, I have been working on the design of my magazine front cover. I have so far taken several pictures, as well as planning the font I will use for my magazine. Today, I wrote out a contents page of reports which will feature in my magazine.

Here are some photo's I have taken for my school magazine front cover.

Magazine Heading's

Here are my first Magazine Heading ideas. I have used a range of different fonts and colours to give a selection of very different headings. Though I think the colours look attractive, I believe the simple headings would be more appropriate for a school magazine and would be easier to read. 

Here are my favourite ten fonts: I have chosen these fonts as they are all quite simple and easy to read. I like the heading with the grey background but have edited it so that the text is white, which is easier to see on a dark background. I have also changed the the font as I believe it looks more professional than the last. I have also edited the heading in pink, by making the 'The' superscript, as this is the least important part of the heading.

I have narrowed my choices down to these four. Three have been edited to make the 'The' superscript, including one which has the 'Buzz' in subscript. The green font has been edited to be in 'small caps' which means the first letter of each word is in bold but the whole title is in capitals. Each font is easy to read and would look professional on a magazine front cover.



This is my final design for the title of my magazine:

I have chosen this as the white text on a dark grey background is easy to read and makes it stand out. Furthermore, the colours are not too bright or colourful to distract the reader from the picture. The grey links with the background of the photograph which also shows shades of grey.

Day 4

Today we began the lesson by editing our blogs, before continuing with our magazine research. I will be looking for appropriate pictures for a school magazine front cover, as well as planning how my own magazine photograph.

Day 3

Today in Media i edited my blog before i continued planning my school magazine. I have decided on the name, location and ethos of the school but must decide what my magazine will be about. I will then research school magazines which will help me plan how to layout my own magazine front cover.

Day Two

This lesson we learnt about the different properties of cameras and how to change the lighting to take a succesful picture. We also learnt how the size of lenses and number of mega pixels effect the photograph. I am now beginning my first assignment by desinging a school magazine.

hello bloggers!

Hey, I'm Sarah and i'm in my first media lesson in year 12. I have just created my blog and edited it to give it a more intersting layout. Tomorrow we are bringing in cameras to learn different photography skills.
