Music mag front cover mock up

This is a  mock up of my music magazine/ newsletter that i have made for deyes high, when i have made it i changed it to being more simple and basic because the front cover looked to full. I took away three of the pictures that i planned to put on but kept one and kept two sets of the writting. I also changed the bottom by puuting in a bit of text abit like a sub heading but just underneath the main picture.

music genre research

Music genre research



We have to research which type of music we would like to use when we are making our own music magazine, i generally like pop and hip hop but i will look at others like rock, indie and metal. There are alot of different music magazines for alot of different genres of music, and we have looked through alot of them.

I have chosen to do hip hop as my music magazine genre, I have chosen this genre because that is the type of music that I listen to when I do listen to music. I don't listen to music all the time and there are different parts of hip hop that I like and don't like.

Font ideas

This is a screenshot of the type of fonts that i was thinking about using for my school newsletter/ music magazine, the top one is grid which i did use as the main titles on both pages and the main writting at the bottom of the front cover. The second one is type writer and i decided not to use that.

My prelim photoshoot plus evaluation

(Click pic to enlarge)

These pictures are the first set of pictures that I have taken for the prelim task, this is to create a school newsletter on our own including pictures of students. The first set of pictures that I have taken are of  a group of students playing football, the hardest part about taking photos of people playing football is to get the ball in the picture in the air with the person kicking it looking normal which it did not happen on a few, it was also hard to get the light right we had to move a few times to get into shade to take the best pictures. The second set of photos that I have taken are of a student in sixth form who I chose because I thought he looked smart and represented the school well, he looked presentable and smart these are some main attributes that the school want to display. I have took the pictures of him outside the school sign to show the name of the school in the background, it was hard to get the right angle because the sun was shining onto the sign which reflected the light into the photo. The last set of photos that i have taken are of the same student in a science class with a bunsen burner, I have done this because deyes high school is a specialist science collage so I wanted to show something to do with science and I wanted to show modern and new that the science labs are to give the school a modern look aswell as its old style look of the main building in the front of the school in the background of the one with the deyes high school sign in.

Deyes high school ideology

                                                                   



Ideology is the secret agenda behind the text that has been written, it is something that is wanted to be conveyed within a text but wanted to be done discretely but still noticeable.

Deyes high school are gradually becoming more modern with new buildings and more technology, examples of the technology would  be the new ipads for english and media, the macs in media and the new computers in IT. The way that this could be conveyed could be through pictures of the old and new technology and buildings and compare them to each other.

Deyes high school care about their students, they want the best grades for their students and themselves. if they get the best grades dfor themselves they will get higher in the national league tables which will then get more pupils in in the future. To convey this in the newsletter i could put a graph on it of the grades that all of the students have achieved.

Deyes high school is a specialist science collage so they usually get the best science grades, to show this you could show pictures of pupils doing science experiments and a graph of science grades compared to other subjects.

Deyes high school is also a sporty school, they have alot of sports teams like football, rugby and netball. This could be shown through listing the teams in the newsletters and their next few games.

Deyes high school is also trying to be a healthy eating school, this could be shown through pupils without lucazades and unheathly foods.

Some staff at deyes high school do more than they have to to help the students get the best grades that they can, they will put on revision sessions after schools and help in lunchtime and breaks. for this you could show a timetable on the newsletter of all the revision sessions before the next set of exams.
