Everything from my planning folder(:

During the first module I have done a lot of planning work for my folder. In between doing my primlanary task which was my school magazine I have been working on other tasks and here they all are completed. 

Below is my:

School Magazine is finished! :)

Today I have finished the school magazine, I worked really hard today and finished the cover lines and put them into place. I then also added two little photo's onto the bottom of the page which make the front cover look much better and it also filled up a bit of left over space. I think that it looks good because the image of the young girl makes you feel happy because she looks like she is having a nice time and she gives the front cover a feeling of ease. I took time to look for a font that i thought that would look good on the front cover. I chose a font that looks like handwriting because it ties in to it being a school magazine. Then I took four little post it notes and I changed there colour's into the colleges colour's. I then added my cover lines onto these.

In todays lesson we have been catching up with work that needs to be finished before we break up for two weeks. In this lesson I have completed my Music magazine Proposal.

However my school magazine is coming along well and I have nearly completed it, its looking really good so far and I just need to put my cover lines and sell lines on to it to make it complete. I also need to do the contents page after this. I have a good idea of what the contents page is going to look like. 

On my working folder work, I have nearly completed everything but just a few more things to complete. 

I will post my next post on the first lesson back after the two week holiday :)

School Magazine :)

Week three (: 

This week I have just basically been working in photoshop on my school magazine. It is really coming along, I know have the little girl as my front image with a navy blue masthead which says 'LTA Life' and then I have the strap line is 'Act enterprisingly. Work in partnership. Achieve excellence.' Then there is four notes on the side in the colour's of the colleges. Using photoshop is quite difficult and time consuming. I have used quite a few of the tools already such as, 

- Move tool

- Lasso tool

- Spot healing brush tool

- Brush tool

- Paint bucket tool

- Dodge tool

- Text tool

Thursday 1st October 09, carrying on.

Carrying on..

In the last week, we took the camera's out in pairs and took photo's of students for a school magazine which is for one piece of our coursework. I went out with Chrissie and we had to find a student or a group of students to get photo's of them. I had to take into consideration all that I have learnt in the last three lessons about: Lighting, position and other criteria. Once I had taken the photo's and I was happy with them I then put them into the student folder. In today's lesson I am going to be using photoshop to work with the photo's that I took on Monday. 

Then on the second half of Monday's lesson, we started learning on photoshop and then we practiced with some set photo's. I learnt exactly how to use photoshop and I think that I will be able to work with it on my photo's to make my school magazine look really good (: -

I have also finished the following pieces of work;

1. The two front cover analysis's

2. The Brainstorm of different music genres

3. The double page spread analysis

4. The picture sequence and my own rating of them

This is my first entry of AS Media Studies (:

In AS Media Studies so far I have completed : 

1. Two front cover analysis's

2. Mind map of music genres

3. Critique picture story

and I am currently working on my double page spread analysis. 

Two front cover analysis's 

For the this I took a magazine cover off the internet and placed it into Word where I then analyzed it by talking about the direct mode of address etc.. I had to write in a bit of detail and really explain it well. 

Mind map of music genres

For the mind map I researched online the different music genres and then looked up on different music magazine websites to see which music they specifically focussed on. 

Critique picture story

For the picture story, I went out with the camera and took six photo's which made a story and then I presented it to the class. Then I opened up Word and rated and analyzed the photo's by my own knowledge and by my classmates comments.

Double page spread 

I am currently working on my double page spread which is coming along well. 

There is a photo of my mind map at the top.
