Preliminary Task Diary

Week 1:

This week we were starting our preliminary task so I began to do some research. On my first lesson I researched 5 school magazines and looked at the codes and conventions of school magazines. I then analysed the magazine covers and wrote up notes about each magazine, what I found and why I thought this was effective. I then created my blog and uploaded the images of each school magazine and uploaded my evaluation on them. Once this was done I created a paper plan of my own school magazine outlining what I was going to put on my front cover and contents page. Once this was done I used Photoshop to begin to create my school magazine, using all the codes and conventions I found from researching. I went out in lesson time using the camera and took photos for my front cover of students in my school to go in my magazine. Once I had created my magazine I used my blog to upload photos of my front cover and contents page.
