Front cover of my magazine ----------->









The title of the magazine is chewvalley mag, i called it this because it has to be somthing for the school to use its name to show it is from the school and it is about the school.

The colours i chose in the magazine for this magazine black, white, red and green. i chose these colours because it is the colours of the school badge simple and basic it reprsents the school also with the chewvalley badge.I used on the front cover simple shapes to make it stand out and effective. bright colours catch your eye. At the bottom of the magazine (the writing in white at the bottom in black box) i chose that because so it draws your attention what also is in the magazine.

The fonts used on the front cover (the title) is bold colour it stands out on the magazine cause of its shadows. i chose shadows because its cartoony and different on a magazine so it looks unique. The font used to for the lead article in the middle of the front cover i put it big to show the main event happening like on all magazines and the font i chose to put it in was 28 days later, i chose this because it is breaking up so i thought that getting demolished it would get to you a shock so it would make you read the magazine. The choice of my writing cover lines and pull quotes is basic and simple its called SV basic manual. They are different sizes because i make it look like thoughts on a page what people are thinking.

I think my magazine doesnt really look like a magizine but it does have some of the featuers of a magazien such as front image, text title, headlines etc. In another way it looks like a poster bold colours stands out but the colours are to bright the ones i chose so it hasnt quite worked.the audience i aimed my product at was all of the school year 7 - 13s ad also parents who are intersted in the school like whats going on.
The school getting destoryed would be aimed at the older part so parents would want to know what is going on and seeing for there self.i have learnt to use paint.net better than i newst, i was thinking of useijng photoshop but i thought ill use a simpler software for this project if i do magazines in the final product i think ill use photoshop cause its more to do and can make it more effective and look better.







<------ The chew valley contents












Simple and effective i think making it simalr to the front cover makes it look better it is refering to the front so its not changing the subject or event.Simple colours same as front cover and also same picture as the front to show that we havent forgotten about the school. different size fronts showing that things are more important than others. mainly to catch your eye.

A few things i missed on this contents page. I realised when i finished theres no numbers on the contents page so you have to guess the pages.

In the final peice i do it ill make sure i make all these improvements such as layout and colours used in this magazine. The simplest things can be the most effective.

The layout of the magazine
Here is the basic layout of my magazine and what it looks like....

The Preliminary Task

school magazine research...

Research
History about Ferdinand De Saussure......

Ferdinand Mongin de Saussure, born in Geneva in 1857, showed early signs of considerable talent and intellectual ability.
Saussure's most influential work, Course in General Linguistics was published posthumously in 1916 by former students Charles Bally and Albert Sechehaye who were gay on the basis of notes taken from Saussure's lectures at the University of Geneva. The Course became one of the seminal linguistics works of the 20th century, not primarily for the content, many of the ideas had been anticipated in the works of other 20th century linguists but rather for the innovative approach that Saussure applied in discussing linguistic phenomena.

History about Roland Barthes......

Roland Barthes was born 12 November 1915 in the town of Cherbourg in Normandy. and died 25 March 1980. He was a French literary theorist, philosopher, critic, and semiotician.

The Preliminary Tasks

Print task
Preliminary Exercise: using DTP (Desktop Publisher) and an image manipulation program, produce the front page of a new school magazine, featuring a photograph of a student in medium close-up plus some appropriately laid-out text and a masthead.
Additionally candidates must produce a DTP mock-up of the layout of the contents page to demonstrate their grasp of the program.

Video task
Preliminary Exercise: continuity task involving filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom he/she then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue. This task should demonstrate match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180-degree rule.

My Presentation (Lit. Festival)

The brief

Chew Valley school will hold its Literature Festival from Monday 28th September to friday 2nd of October. The festival is a whole-school event and will look to invole all the staff and students.

it is intended as a creative, lively and fun exsperience the will bring literature to life and provide opportunities for enrichment and education.

The school has asked you, the advertising and marketing company, to work in small teams (2/3) and come up with the following:

• An event logo and slogan


• A Poster promoting the event


• Flyers and a banner to advertise the festival

the right colours the colours are bright and bold they also represent the school red white and green like the school badge It appeals to this audience (the school) cause it is aimed at the school. year 7 to year 11 it is suitable for that age cause its simple in a way it catches your eye.

i worked in a group with charlie and stuart and this is what we came up with.....

we chose to have the logo like this cause it is eye catching.

The title - the title is dont by stuart using flash player. he chose to use those fonts cause it stands out because it is original its are own. the other font in red lit fest that stands out the most it catches your eye straight away cause it looks 3D and it looks like a stamp. It is showing what the event is and it also has the chewvalley badge which to show whos running it.

It has a picture of the chewvalley lake behind the title because the school is near chewvalley and we thought it could attract a wider audience.
