1.) Deconstruction of 3 original texts using media terms
2.) Blog the conventions you want to include in your school magazine
3.) Research any print terms we are unsure of. Break it down to component parts.
Font
Serif/Times New Roman
Past/tradition
Sans Serif - many different ones
Handwriting font - personal, addressing the reader, directed at you
Fits tone or mood of the magazine
All the other types of fonts
Banner/masthead -Generally the title, more newspaper aimed
Cell lines on the front cover also, the pieces of information around the side of the magazines that sell the magazine to the person
Bursts, makes it look more exciting, to intrigue the reader
Menu bar, advertises other things which happen in the magazine, always at the bottom, all in a Sans Serif font, because it appears modern
Blue line - barcode, price, issue, date etc
Capital letters, portrays shouting
Pages in the Magazine
Callout - Take a quotation, put it in the middle of the column and make it bigger
Copy - what you call the article
Images - camera shots used in moving image all translate into print also
Black and White - old fashioned, classical an timeless, upmarket magazine
Three colour colour scheme, any more will look too busy and cluttered
Two types of magazine front cover - 1 is busy and cluttered, attracts the reader because they think is it full of information and it is good value for money. 2 is simple and clean, minimalistic look, sophisticated and they are clearly organised, they do not need to put everything on the front cover, secure target audience.
Exam boards do not specify target audience of out magazine!Eg Students, parent, both etc.
