Brainstorminggggggggg...........


What do you want to achieve?
To create and interesting looking magazine with creative articles and an attractive cover

Work individually or in group?
I want to work individually because then I wont have to compromise my ideas which contrast with any one elses. Also, if i'm working alone, I can focus easily and not get distracted.

An ideal comment from your teacher...
Grace has used Photoshop/ in design well and has grasped the concept of creating a magazine. The cover looks attractive and the magazine overall looks professional and would appeal to a wide audience.

Print or Film?
Looking at the OCR website and looking at the different briefs, I have decided that I want to do print, and create a magazine, as that are appeals to me more than Video.Print ideas...Famous stars - links with fashion, film, famous quotes etc Brands &Websites

Exemplar films...

Voice from the past-
Shots were steady and appropriate as they matched the mood of the scene. The mise-en scene matched the clip. The editing was brilliant, with the cut out letters arranging to make names, the sounds were fast beat and conveyed excitement and a sense that something was going to go wrong. I'd put his film in the level four category, as it was excellent .
Final Mark 45

Exemplar Prints...

'MusicKing'-
Frontcover-Text goes behind the pictures so that you cant see all of the text, cant even see the whole title.The text looks blurry, as if it has been enlarged drastically. The white background looks as if it hasnt been finished.Contents page- looks like a simple list, as if very little time has been spent on itMain Page- Looks professional and the colour scheme all works in well together.
Mark- 36

'PM'Front Cover-
Exciting Image, with good use of shading and shadowing. Don't like the yellow text on that background.Contents- The background and the writing compete for the attention of the reader which makes it all look too busy. However, by themselves, the background and different components would work well.Main Page- All text easy to read, and the poloroid style pictures make it seem genuine and make the article seem exciting.
Mark -47

I gave PM a higher Mark than Musicking as PM seemed a better magazine as it seemed exciting and the use of photos and text was a lot better.I think 'The Beat' got 57/60 marks as the front cover looks professional,with the colour schemes tying in well together. Also, the contents page looks as if time has been spent on finishing touches. The main page with the articles has a low shot, and the article and pictures look very good.
