Pre-production task

Pre-production task

The pre-production task will be a magazine front cover for the whole of Lordswood Girls' School. This will include the media and photography side of the school because it is a media arts school. A photograph of a student with a medium closeup will be included. The picture I am going to use is of a student taking a picture from a side view angle. The image would look really good black and white, the other effects on the photograph would be a indented effect which make some of the picture come out and other indented in to give a 3D effect. The magazine will be called 'Macro' because on a camera there is a macro setting and the magazine will look at the closeups of the school and the media in the school. The colours I will use in the magazine is blue, white and purple because blue is the school colour and white and purple will appeal to the girls because purple is stereotypically a girl colour. The font style used would be Verdana and Arial because they are simple but elegant fonts.

The magazine front cover will look like this, the masthead will be at the top (Macro), underneath the masthead is the school, then there are 3 strap lines. The strap lines are'22 Photography images for a level media and photography,' 'Fund raising for new computers in the media suite' and 'How much do you know about Photoshop Take the quiz inside!' The strap lines is what is going to be in the magazine. There is a big kicker at the bottom of the magazine. The magazine has three layers, the first layer is the image, the next layer is the straplines and the kicker and the last layer is the masthead.

The contents page follows on from the magazine front cover, it uses a similar style. The font colour, purple, and style, Verdana, for the title is the same as the title on the magazine front cover. The page numbers are bold, same font colour as the blue part of the kicker and verdana style. The page title are the same blue as the magazine colour with the Verdana style. The image is of the same student by a computer which also shows the media side of the school. The image is in black and white like the image on the front cover and the photograph has no effects.
