We were given the choice of several briefs, i decided i wanted to make a magazine. The brief for making a magazine is as follows:

Preliminary exercise: Front page of a school/college magazine.

Main task: Front page, contents and double page spread of a new music magazine.

Technology: Digital photography, desktop publishing.

Theoretical understanding: Print conventions, audience and mode of address, making meaning through still image media language, semiotics, layers of interpretation. media and identity, the music industry and the music press, popular culture and youth representations.

Links with other units: Key Media Concepts: representation, music industry and audiences.

I will start by researching the theory and then analyze some college magazines. After that i will learn the software and create my college magazine front page
