I had to create a school magazine to help show that I know what is expected from the magazine I will create for my final product. I used Microsoft Publisher for this and had to produce my own image for the product.
Above is the front page of my prelim task; I used this to help with my research and planning and to help me understand the basic codes and conventions; such as a feature image, masthead and additional cover lines, in which will be expected from me to fulfil in my final artefact.
This was a mock-up of the contents page which would come after the front cover in the school magazine. I conducted this to show that I understood what was expected from the contents page and to help me look into the best way to set it out to suit my target audience. The target audience I was appealing to would be the lower years of Queensbury students as the model is wearing the school uniform to help show that I am targeting them as my audience. Although, due to my cover lines it may also be interesting for the 6th form students as they're being targeted through the texts with "socials", the "new cafe" and "year 13 prom" but it would mainly appeal to the lower year students.
