Preparation For Preliminary Task

Firstly I took some photos based loosely around school for a school magazine. the photos were supposed to be medium close-up. after reviewing the photos I watched a video on the rule of thirds to improve the composition of my photos.

Deciding My Brief

Brief 

Print:

 preliminary exercise: using DTP and an image manipulation program, produce the front page of a new school/college magazine, featuring a photograph of a student in a medium close-up plus some appropriately laid-out text and a masthead. additionally candidates must produce a DTP mock-up of a layout of the contents page to demonstrate their grasp of the program.

main task:

The front page, contents and double spread of a new music magazine.

all images and text used must be original, produced by the candidate, minimum of four images per candidate.


I chose this brief because of the available resources (e.g. adobe photoshop) and there is high quality coursework from previous candidates available to look at for inspiration and ideas.
