Preliminary Task design ideas

Preliminary Task:

For the Preliminary Task, we have been asked to produce a school magazine. For this we will be creating a front cover and a contents page. In one of our previous lessons, we were sent out to take pictures around the school for guidelines to what we will eventually assign to our front cover.
Below will be what I have already sketched out and planned for my magazine.

For the front cover of Haydon Haul I have outlined some of the parts that I would like to talk about in my magazine. I have already taken some pictures around the school; these helped in deciding what i wanted to use as articles. The main ideas for my magazine are, Haydon morals, Recycling, Former Sixth Form students and Best results. On the front cover of my magazine, I have also included some pictures of things that I thought related to my ideas and searched images from google to help me decide what I wanted to apply to the final piece. This will also help me to hopefully attract audience.The pictures that I drew on my draft were ideas that I had got from around the school when we took pictures of what we wanted on our magazine.

For the title I wanted to use a big bold font to try to attract as big of an audience as I could. I also used punctuation like exlamation marks to manipulateviewers into reading my magazine.

On the contents page, I outlined the key ideas and placed them in order of where I personally wanted them to be in the magazine. Again I added some images of which were from google and around the school of which inspired me to apply to my final piece. Some of the pictures I used for example were people or a person throwing something in the bin and a load of exam papers with excellent grades.  

As research to help me with my own blog and magazine, I took a look at previous AS students work and used some ideas or similar ideas which could potentially help me with my own magazine and blog and could help me get up into the top region of marks.
