Lesson 3 (Mock up of front covers for school magazine)
In this lesson we were set a task to complete a school magazine front cover. We only had a Limited time of 40 minutes to do this in. I decided that by using computers it would benefit myself more as it saves alot more time rather than cutting and sticking text and images from other soucres. I used the software called "Microsoft publisher" as it was very useful by guilding me. Within this school magazine cover we had to include all the Expectations and ideas that we gained knowledge from in our previous sales pitch. This lesson made me realise that you must put alot of effort and time into the production, and that planning is crucial to keep within your deadline.

Lesson 2
Lesson 2 - (Sales pitch presentation)
In this lesson in pairs, we created a sales pitch for the prelimiary task (school magazine).
Firstly i believed it was the most important aspect of the whole magazine, which was to find out who the target audience were, What they want included within the school magazine and what price they would agree expect to pay if any. So to begin with we researched this information by using Questionnaires on a number of different people. So then we could Concentrate and focus on the actual magazine.
we had to think in detail and choose the following areas with valid reasons Explaining: How often this magazine would be produced (termly), Target auidence (students, techers ect.), Price, sponspership (asda), magazine size (A4), promotion, Title (Life on St.Marks), How the magazine is presented (Glossy, stappled), Language (Fairly simplistic). Images and what topics are included. Aside the magazine we also had to consider the Financial costs of making the magazine.
Over all i leanred that the Target audience and Organisation are the most imporatant factors of a magazine and must be considered at all times. I also leanred that within this Specific magazine market that you need mixed topics such as more fun entertainment and less serious news. It was also benefical listening to everyone elses sales pitch presetation and gaining new ideas.

Lesson 1
Lesson 1 - The introduction. (foundation portfolie)
- Prelimiary task (School magazine)
- Main Task (Music magazine)
In class we were given the introduction and details of the upcoming work listed as above. I will keep an on-going blog in order to maintain an Organised and clear reflection of this work. Within lesson 1, i had to make sure that i understood the concepts of "Process" and "outcome". I also realised that to succeed both tasks that i would have to be disciplined and organised with myself as well as having creativity. This lesson helped me understand the details which are being asked of me, also Sharing ideas around the class from different people made the work seem easier and more understandble.
