Contents and Music magazines

contents page


At the beginning of lesson 8 Mrs explained to us that we had to create a contents page to go along with our School magazine front cover, luckily the quality of the contents page wasn't actually going to be marked because my contents page was extremely basic, the important thing is that when i have finished the music magazine that i am going to make, that i have made a clear improvement and judging by the quality of my school cover and contents it would be almost impossible for me to not make an improvement. So now i have completed both my contents page and school cover i am ready for the next fun fun lesson.


Kerrang and NME magazine's

At the beginning of the lesson mrs Rogers spent a short time talking to us about the diffrent types of music magazine that were currently in business and how they appeal to certain audiences, we were then given two music magazines to look at and talk about the first was NME magazine which seemed very clean cut and sensible where as the second magazine that was the Kerrang magazine seemd a little rough around the edges if you like. we were given a sheet of paper that would help us, we then set about looking at both magazines in turn. This wasn't exactly a task that filled me with much joy but then again not every lesson can be fun.

Preliminary Task

Preliminary Task

Lesson 7 was a photo taking excercise where the dream team of me, matt and emmanuel went out with the idea of capturing some photos for our preliminary task which was the creation of a front cover for a school magazine. some of the pictures we took inicluded; a picture of the new sixth form block, picture of the school hall and the new school chapel and some other various shots taken from around the school when we had finished we returned to class and waited with bated breathe for our next task.


During lesson 8 we had to get to work on the front cover itself mrs rogers had told us not to worry about the quality of it, because we ould only get marked down if we hadn't done it and if you think about it the worse it is the better because then we could show a massive improvement on our actualy final product, after we had finished the front cover we were told to start on the the content page but thats a story for another post.
