Magazine practical task research and planning

 






1) Use Google to research potential magazines that you could use as your brand/design for this project. Create a shortlist of three potential magazines and embed an example front cover from each one. We recommend looking at lifestyle magazines or a similar genre as these are more achievable to re-create.






















2) Choose one of the three magazine brands to use for your project e.g GQ, Vogue or The Gentlewoman. Then find three different front covers for your chosen magazine and embed them in your blogpost. Analyse the fonts, colours and typical design. What is the language or writing style? How are the cover lines written? What camera shot is generally used for the cover image? You need to become an expert in the design and construction of this magazine and its branding.




















The slam cover all have different font which fits the player each magazine is designed to fit the players personality and the team they play for some SLAM magazines has players name on the front of it and they also have a catchphrase for example SOUL ON ICE. 




Planning:

1) In your blogpost, write your main cover line (also called the 'main flash') - this is the main cover story that links to your central image. It must be 100% original - all your own words.

SLAM- Rishi gohills soul on ice

2) Briefly plan the image you will need for the cover - model, costume, make-up, lighting etc. At this point, simply describe the image you need to capture.

Im gonna have me in the centre and have me showing a basketball towards the camera staring directly into the camera i am gonna have a bright studio as there is no shadows and i want the attention on the subject which is me with the basketball. 

3) Write the cover lines and any additional text you need for your magazine cover.

He dunks lebron 
He da bomb 
He a shooter

Photoshoot

We will do a photoshoot in class next week with lighting and backdrop. However, if you prefer you can arrange your own photoshoot for the cover image in your own time - you can use your phone or your own camera to take an image. If you don't have a phone or camera that is suitable, you can sign out a camera from Mr Harrison.

1) On your planning document, write the date, time and location of your photoshoot and the name of the model or photographer you will use (you can choose anyone to be your cover model or you can be the cover model yourself).

3) Write a short evaluation of your work: have you succeeded in your brief to create a new, original edition of an existing magazine? Does your cover stand up alongside the genuine covers of your chosen magazine? How professional is your work alongside those genuine examples?

I got the attention on the subject and i have a basketball which clearly shows the genre of the magazine which is sports. I also have well known players on the front cover which allows people to see and understand who they are. 

4) Finally, what would you do differently if you completed this assignment again?

Do it sooner.

October blog feedback and learner response

  WWW:  I like your Semiotics blog work clearly using media terminology from the lesson in your analysis. Good use of examples to develop your understanding of semiotics furthers by analysing the Starbucks and L'Oréal advertisements.   EBI:  Two key areas to improve here: firstly, some of your work is missing or unfinished and it’s important to make sure you are organised and fully completing work, you have not published since the middle of September. Make sure you post the Reading an Image, Reception theory, Genre, and Narrative blogs as soon as you can. On a side note, try and develop your exposure to other forms of media such as Newspapers, Radio, and Magazines to ensure you are exposed to a variety of different media.   LR:  Complete any missing or unfinished work.
