Drafts

Drafts B- Kent Town

This is the rather more complex plan i had drawn up, which would be aimed at a more sophisticated audience at around 16-17 years of age. It would use mostly formal language but it would use some language which students of this age can relate too.

Title Page

The title page features two large slots for images and two large slots for text advertisement. It will have a continuous border which separates the page up into six different segments for the different text, images and headings.

Contents Page

The contents page will be heavily text based but will feature designated slots and boxes for a few images. this will also have a border which will separate the page up into 4 different sections. this will make it easy for the audience to find text and images without looking through the whole page.

Extra Notes

These extra notes cover a wide range of ideas for how the colour will be allocated across the two pages and what fonts shall be used.

Drafts

Drafts A- Basildon High

These drafts have a rougher and more informal layout. They are separated up into different quadrants however the lines are not all straight and will not all be the same width and colour. Its more dynamic and feels more engaging than the other draft set. this would be in the same age range but will be aimed at a rather more informal and less sophisticated audience.

Title Page

The title page is presented as informal because it will not feature as much text or information about upcoming events in the magazine. Instead it will feature a larger image taking up most of the page accompanied by a small box for text and a separated section at the bottom with a small contest or prize.

Contents Page

The contents page, not like the title page, will feature a slightly more formal design with clearly separated sections but alternating borders widths and colours. It will have a large landscape image with cover text and page information at the top with a separated section with other page information and images to accompany them.

Extra Notes

A few simple notes about colour.

Potential Photos for use in the Prelim task

Target Audience

This magazine will be targeting at a mature and sophisticated audience. It will contain detailed and thorough information about the activities and use a layout that presents the magazine as suave but interesting. The photos used will feature sixth from pupils and landscapes from around the school but will be used to make the work and site look stunning and fun.

Year 7 - Bunsen burner photo

This was going to be used to as the cover photo before i changed the age range featured for the magazine. Also, unfortunately there is a child in the background who appears to be doing a Nazi salute which has ruined the overall composition of the image.

Student Looking into the lens

This photo was potentially going to be sued because it provides a direct interation with the audience. This image has dead space around it allowing me to write about latest events and activities happening around the school without interefering with the central focusing point, his face. (Surveillance.)

Graphic Art Student

This photo was used because it will attract an audience who are interested in arts, media and photography. Although the student is not looking directly into the camera, it shows him being happy whilst doing the coursework. This photo is aimed at an elder audience around the age of 15-16.

Pinecone shot and surrounding school enviroment (Use of Depth of Field.)

This photo is aesthetically stunning and conveys that the school has a beautiful surrounding settlement. It provides a sense of escapism because of its vibrant colours and great clarity of the objects it focuses on. since the central two objects are the only things the lens focused on, it means that there is a lot space for lures.
