PLANNING

In order for me to complete my music magazine for my chosen genre which is R&B, there are key elements which have to be taken into account so that the music magazine meets all of the requirements to gain full marks and these key elements which need to be planned include:
·         images - collecting existing images, anchoring, text shot, drawing ideas, thinking about the types of shots and linking the images to the article.
·         target audience - this music magazine is aimed to people aged between 13 and 25 because children who are aged 13 years old are interested in famous singers and they are influenced by these artists and they copy what they wear and how they behave and as they grow older they like to read about the artists' lives and what they get up to.
·         similar media - we have already looked at similar media by researching various R&B music magazines and analysing the cover pages, contents pages and double paged spreads.
·         house style - we ensured that the cover page, contents page and the double page spread all followed the same house style to allow them to look more professional and the house styles that we came up with
·         mast head design - the ideas that we have come up with to be our mast head for our music magazine which links  to the genre of our music magazine which is R&B and the ideas that we came up with include:
   v  Zeal
v  Ecstasy
v  Avidity
v  Ardour
v  Tremor
·  font style - the font styles that we are thinking of using are bold text which stand out in headings however the masthead of the music magazine will be bold and a different colour to the background therefor it will not blend in with the images and the text.
·  audience feedback - we made a table with the tally and we asked each member in our Media class which name they thought was best to be used as a master head for an R&B music magazine and these were the results: 
Masthead name
Tally
Zeal
1
Ecstasy
9
Avidity
3
Ardour
4
Tremor
2

·  design elements - we thought about the layout and the colours that will be used in the magazine
·  schedule - think about the dates and deadlines for the images and think about when you are going to take the photographs, where, who the model will be and also think about the costume and props that will be used and what the model will be wearing.

Analysing a contents page of a R&B Music Magazine
Image
The two female celebrities are both giving eye contact to the reader to engage them so that they read more inside the magazine about these two celebrities. The fact that the shadows of the two female celebrities are not clearly visible and are fading allow the magazine to look more professional and so the audience focus on the two celebrities than their surroundings. In addition, the fact the background is quite plain suggests that the page of the magazine looks more professional and so that the text stand out more clearly. The fact that the fonts of the title and the text differ and contrast from each other allow the heading and the page names to be more sophisticated.  The two female celebrities take up the most space on the contents page and they are posing seductively to attract male readers to read on about these artists and to read on about the fashion section.  The masthead is black so it is bold and also clear to show how the magazine is formal and it is also split into three rows and this is used to show the personality of the magazine. The background is simple as it is in white and grey and these colours have been used for the background to keep the contents page sophisticated and clear for the reader to see.

Layout
The layout of the contents page is that the contents page has been laid out like a trademark so the reader knows that they are reading the contents page with the word ‘CONTENTS’ at the top of the page standing out. The main image on the contents page is a long shot of two female artists and this shot that has been used is suitable for a contents page because not a lot of text should be on a contents page therefore the image takes up most of the space on the contents page and the text is on the left hand side of the contents page on the bottom left section of the contents page. The image is a large scale which suggests that an image of these two artists has been used on the front cover of the magazine. The image used is quite proactive for the reason that the two artists are wearing short dresses therefore they are revealing a lot of skin.
               
Language
There is a caption which is quite small on the bottom right hand side of the page near the image to explain what the image is to the reader and who these artists are and there is a page number so the reader can know what page they need to go on if they want to read about these artists.

Analysing double page spread 
13.5pt;">

Layout: the most space which is taken on this magazine is of the image of Wiz Khalifa and this is given so much importance as this is showing that he is the main plot of this two page spread and the magazine writers want to catch the audience’s eye as they want to show the audience that this is an R&B music magazine so they put a R&B artist to catch their eye and want to read it. This has spread to two pages as one is for the image and other is for writing which makes it balanced for the readers to read.

Image: there is only one image on the page and it is by itself on the first page separately which catches the audiences eye first which shows that he is very popular in the R&B music industry and well known which makes the audience excited as they want to read about it and if it may have any latest news about him. He is smoking which is showing a very rude image to the audience and by his face expression, it is showing he doesn't care and has an attitude problem which is showing he is representing R&B music which is quite stereotypical for R&B fans. The black background matches to his face expression as he is showing he doesn't care and is very aggressive which is shown in his expression as well as the black background. He is wearing a black and yellow cap which relates to one of his songs as he made a song which is called `Black and Yellow` and this shows us that this is what boys should be wearing who listen to R&B music as caps like these are in the latest fashion but the cap colours match to the title of the double side spread which makes it look cool and interesting. The writers make the image more clear to the audience rather than the title as this shows that the image has more importance and by the look of the image, the audience will be attracted to the image as he is a R&B artist and is well known for his songs so he gets more attention than the title as he is well known to the audience which makes it even more interesting for the readers. The image relates to the genre which is R&B music as R&B fans quite like to be in the modern world and are mostly stereotyped to be rude and aggressive but a bad person but this is just a stereotype but they are also come across as thugs which is makes it clear in this image as he is smoking which is bad for your health but making an expression that he doesn't care shows the audience that this is how R&B fans are in personality wise and this is stereotypical.

Language: there is some sort of rhetorical question used which says `How High? ` and this makes the audience think about what the question is asking for and this also shows the readers that this question could be linked to Wiz Khalifa as he is smoking and could say that he high over with too much smoking and this then reflects back in to making the reader read the magazine article. This sort of question makes the audience want to read this and be interested as the way the question is used makes them think so much and want know what is the question trying to say. This isn't very formal language as it is quite straight forward and simple to the point. The two words how high tell us that this is linked to the title and cap as the question is in black and same font which makes it seem very similar and cool.

Genre: the genre is quite straight forward that it is R&B music as the way the magazine is presented is in an attitude and cool way where they are in the modern world with the latest fashion for teenagers and the way the image which is shown on the two side spread is one of the artists. The artist Wiz Khalifa is shown to be with lots of attitude, rude, aggressive and bad as a role model as he is shown to be a `Thug`. 
Planning
Target audience: the target audience for my magazine is teenagers and adults who are aged about 13-25. The gender is female and male as this is aimed to both genders. The target audience which is aimed at is that they are the ones who like R&B music as my magazine I am doing is R&B. The clothes my target audience must wear is the latest trendy clothes which are the clothes which are expensive, stylish and cool as there is image of them is that they have attitude and are into R&B music and they like the modern trends but also are they like to keep on date with the latest clothes and fashion which is out now. They must like listening to Drake, Niki Minaj, Rihanna, Beyonce and much more R&B artists. They must have interest in dancing as when they watch Beyonce and her music and looking at the latest fashions of clothes and wearing gold and getting the cool trainers. There behaviour is must be very friendly as they talk a lot as they are bubbly, up to date with the latest and want to know what the latest songs which have released from their favourite artists. The way they must act is they are down to earth but like to relax at times and just go into their music world and have many favourite artists and who listen to R&B music everyday.
The magazine title I am thinking can be:
-Jacked- when taking all the R&B music and listening to it alone and being able to do what you want as the R&B music is with you now.
-Step up- when you step up in music and should dance away by the sound of R&B music.
-Not Kidding- R&B isn’t a joke and it is serious music where people enjoy and make them sound as this sound as if they are being realistic.
-Dream-this is where that R&B music is some sort of dream throughout your whole life and achieving your dream by keep on listening to R&B music forever.
-Right now-This is saying that the music R&B is started and already around and its saying that R&B is some sort of journey of life.
-Jump- this is saying jump meaning jump into the R&B world as this will be a big jump for you as everything is there with you with just one big jump.
Content:  there will be interview of one of the artists and also reviews of the new artist’s songs which will make the audience who is teenagers want to read about this and find this magazine. There will also be ratings as stars for songs as there will stars and most meaning best can be 5 stars. This will persuade the audience into reading the magazine as they will find the stars bit interesting and want to know which song is a hit and what most people like as then they will want to listen to the music that other people find good. There can also be things latest about fashion in R&B music as this makes the whole of boys and girls audience into reading this as they want to know the latest fashion for R&B music and what type of clothes do their favourite artists wear as this will make them wear similar and also about if anything else that has become fashion and this can be wearing chains or having your ear pierced for boys but for girls, there may be dresses that are gold and flashy earrings. There can also be
Analysing Two page spread

Layout: the most space which is taken is of the image of Florence Welch. This is given importance as the written content text is written about Florence Welch and this has information about her so a large image of her is used to fill in most of the space to attract the audience into reading this as this makes the audience want to read it as she is well known and people would like to know when they see her as she is has taken up to half the space on the double page spread. This attracts the audience as it is very big and catches their eye to want to read about her.
Image: there is only one image on the page which is of Florence Welch as this is a very large image. This image relates to the written content as the text written is about Florence and her latest news and her stories which make it interesting for the reader as they know Florence for her music. The image is framed around Florence sitting on some sort of table with a sheet on top which is coloured red and white matching Florence. She is wearing a black short dress suit that with black high heels and she has one leg on the half the table and one on the floor as she is posing towards the audience. She has bright tangy orange hair with light orange lipstick and black eyeliner on her eyes; she also is wearing black nail varnish. The props that are being used are the stool table with a big sheet cloth to cover the table so it doesn’t exactly show what is under the sheet. All this make up and clothes show us the fashion of R&B music as they wear trendy fashionable clothing and the colour black shows the audience attitude of R&B singers as they are showing R&B music is very important and by the clothes he is wearing, she represents R&B music. The colours mainly have been used are Red, black and white as this shows its sort of a happy mood and its making the audience feel there is something mysterious about the two page spread and these colours represent a happy mood. The image relates to the target audience as the image is for R&B music and R&B have all sorts of fashion and love to be stylish and Florence is showing that.
Language: the language which is being used is a rhetorical question as to make the audience think but this is a question which cannot be answered as it is rhetorical. They try and make it interesting by using the question as this makes the audience not just think but also want to read more of the magazine as this makes them interested. The language is not formal but its a little `slang` used as when they are writing a quick start heading which makes the audience want to read it. The language which is used is straight forward but is a little confusing as it makes us think that what is happening with one of the artists. The language which is used is very detailed and quite entertaining. This makes the R&B music magazine look even better as the text is interesting and stands out to the audience. The language gets the audience’s attention as it isn’t boring and too formal as then the audience would be too bored and wouldn’t like to read on.
Genre: the genre is R&B music as Florence Welch sings R&B songs which show she is representing R&B music. She is wearing the latest and fashionable clothes which make the audience think that this is what the latest artists which are women are starting to wear. The audience recognise it is R&B music magazine as by her clothing and her face expression as she is showing attitude in which R&B artists show a lot of attitude when it comes to music and she is well known so all her fans must know it’s an R&B magazine.

Analysing double page



Layout: the most space which is taken is the text and the image which takes a large amount of space. From the double sided page, there are images across the pages.  The images are given importance as they are represented to show the R&B magazine and each of the small images placed across the two pages are showing different sort of poses of Solagne Knowles who is Beyonces sister who has released so many albums in a year and represents R&B music so much. The magazine makes the audience think that this is a very fashionable magazine that brings different sort of style in R&B music and makes them think this is a trendy and popular which makes them want to read it as the writer makes it look interesting.

Image: there are many images on the page, there is one image in particular which is big and is the one who has colour. This relates to the written content as the image is of Solagne Knowles who is Beyonces sister and the two side written contents talks about her albums she has made in one year for R&B music and this shows her success. The big image of Solagne Knowles is framed on the second page which is enlarged and is quite big and covers half of the second page. This has an effect as it shows that she is related to what they written contents says which makes the audience want to read the written content after seeing the image of Solagne Knowles. She is wearing a red dress with a blue mini waist jacket which stands out as these are the only colours that are bright and the rest is quite dull and doesn't make it seem as if it is important. She is wearing purple high heels with the clothes and this represents that she is being fashionable and trendy with the clothing she has on. The images which are across the two sided pages are of Solagne Knowles who is modelling and doing different sort of poses which suggests that she is a fashionable person and this also makes it look creative as there is one image from all that is standing out and the rest are just set as background which stand  out. The image relates to the target audience as this is aimed at teenagers who are the main target audience who listen to R&B music most of the time and enjoy their life listening to music of R&B and reading these sorts of magazines. The magazine shows us that this is aimed at teenagers as young female teenage girl’s love fashion and latest expensive clothing and this image shows us that Solagne Knowles is very fashionable and makes them want to read this magazine.

Language: there is lots of use of language where the writer has written ‘’forget her sister. The outspoken Solagne Knowles created one of the year’s best R&B albums`` which is a sub heading before writing about it. This has an effect as it shows that the writers tells an overview of what the content text says about Solagne Knowles and this makes the readers want to read this content text as it tells the audience she has released one of the best R&B albums which makes them feel interested about this and read more about it. The way the sub heading has been written isn't formal as the language used is quite slang as it gets straight to the point by saying writing the content text in a ‘slang’ sort of way which is writing opposite to formal. The text links to the images as the sub heading talks about Solagne Knowles who is the main image of the two pages. The type of face which has been used is of the Solagne Knowles who is posing and making a straight face to the audience which makes her look innocent and fashionable. This gets the audience attention as she straight looking at the audience and showing she is an important person.

Genre: the genre of the magazine is shown through the images as it shows this is a fashionable, stylist and trendy magazine which represents R&B music doesn't just show music but also has fashion involved and has a variety of things involved.

Analysing contents page

Image: there is only one image of Kayne who is a singer and the image is grey and quite dull and is representing R&B as it is quite mysterious and is showing fear as there is a hand on Kayne with a heart and the audience’s eye is drawn to the point of the hand as
the only colour which is red is the heart which attracts the audience thinking that is an important part of the image. This shows love and shows that he may have a love life and it shows the main thing about the image. The image is placed on the left hand side where there is information about the contents on the right hand side which is showing the image is much bigger and more important on the contents page. This is a medium shot and the colour of this image is greyscale showing that this is a very mysterious image. The image of Kayne’s face expression is dull and showing attitude as he is making a straight face with his hands in his pockets showing he is representing R&B music. The clothes which Kayne is wearing is quite classy and trendy as they are worn in the modern days and this also shows that this magazine isn't all about R&B music but is expresses all sorts of things which could be fashion, art and celebrities which shows that R&B music is creative as it involves all sorts of things.

Language: there is use of language on the contents page as at the top, there is one word saying contents which is black and stands out as it is bold and flashes out to the audience. The word is spread down the page which makes the audience read it slowly and know what it is exactly. This shows the style of the magazine showing it is a cool magazine which allows you to take your time and read and this relates to R&B music as it is laid out and relaxes you. The information on the contents page on the right hand side is very simple and straight forward and shows that this is clear and is isn't scrambled and makes it easier for the audience to read it.

Layout: the background is very dull and greyscale as it is plain and doesn't really have anything interesting but all the focus is on the image as that makes it interesting making all the audience look at the image of Kayne. The background does have `V` which shows this is a Vibe magazine straight away as it is representing R&B music and this is a much darker grey which has been used for the `V` but is still makes the background look good. The layout of the contents page is straight forward and very simple as it gives out the information straight and it is quite clear. The contents page information is laid out simply just to show the audience what is in the magazine as this makes it easier for the readers to know what is in the magazine. The whole page shows us that straight away the image of Kayne who everyone who listens to R&B music will know straight who this singer is as he is representing R&B music and this makes them want to read the magazine more as they know him and there might be information about him and his new songs, albums or about what he is planning on doing which gets the audience excited. The relationship between the audience and this contents page shows that it is good as the audience may like the singer Kayne and want to read the magazine and the magazine is showing the magazine contents pages stands out and is very modern as so is R&B music.

Genre: the genre of this magazine contents page is R&B music and shows a singer who sings R&B music and stands out from the whole contents page. The genre of the page is dull and plain and is focusing on the singer who sings for R&B music. The focus is the image but the genre definitely represents R&B music as it is showing attitude and the whole page shows that music is sort of another world which shows R&B is very important and makes the audience want to know more about it as the page makes it look hidden and mysterious and audience love mysteries and want to know what it is so the colours really show what genre the contents page is. The colour which is used is grey but there is only one other colour used which is red and that is the only focus of the image as it is only colour that is red showing a heart showing the part of Kayne’s love life.

Analysing ‘VIBE’ magazine

 
Image:
The only image on the front cover page is a medium shot of the singer Chris Brown and this image relates to the written content because there is a rhetorical question on the left hand side of Chris Brown which asks the reader ‘IS THAT CHRIS BROWN?’ and the question is asking about the singer who is on the front cover page of the magazine. The image of the R&B singer is framed in the centre of the magazine cover page and because it is the centre image of the magazine cover page, it suggests that the main story inside the magazine will be about the singer who is on the magazine cover page so the image is clear so the reader will expect to read about Chris Brown inside. In addition, because the image is clear and stands out from the text, it shows that this singer is very popular and his image is noticeable so the audience will be able to realise this. The clothes that the singer is wearing are casual and the singer has style which suits the target audience because the readers who would read this magazine are teenagers and middle-aged people who are both men and women and they would dress casually with style like the singer in the image. The colours used on the magazine cover page of ‘VIBE’ because the text around the image is in white which is bright and the title ‘VIBE’ is also in white which indicates the main subject in the magazine will be about ‘VIBE’. The white text contrasts with the other text which is in green and red which do not stand out as much as the white text and the fact that the background is not bright means that the white text stands out more and is more visible and clear to the reader.


Layout:
The image of the singer ‘Chris Brown’ takes up most of the space on the cover page of the magazine which indicates the importance of this singer and informs the reader that there will be many topics discussed about this singer inside the magazine. The fact that the image of the R&B singer is in the centre of the magazine cover page and the title is at the top of the magazine cover page and is sort of covered up suggests that this magazine is very popular and well-known therefore the reader does not need to see the title of the magazine because they already know. The fact that the other topics discussed in the magazine are on the right hand side of the cover page of the magazine shows that the magazine has a variety of different topics listed down on the side of the magazine to show how much the magazine is packed with various discussion points and topics, news and gossip about different R&B singers and other famous people. The range of topics discussed and news in the magazine appeal to a wider range of audience. The fact that the background behind the singer is not on stage but is of a rural setting suggests that this singer is not performing but is being himself therefore this informs the audience that the topics inside the magazine will be looking into the life of this R&B singer. The magazine has put what they offer in a red circle to create a bigger emphasis on the fact they are the ones with the exclusive look into these subjects

Language:
The magazine has used a range of words that stand out to advertise the magazine to show the audience that this magazine offers more interesting news, gossip and discussion points than other magazines. They have done this by using words such as ‘mega’ and ‘hottest’ to show that the ‘VIBE’ magazine is the only magazine that includes these features that other magazines such as ‘don&apost’. Moreover, by using a quote from ‘Chris Brown’ ‘I’m still a virgin in your eyes’ connects to the reader by including them within the magazine which creates a huge effect on how  the magazine is going to affects the audience.



Analysing `Vibe` magazine

The only image on the page is of Drake who is wearing a cap and wearing black top. The image relates to the written content as the magazine is a Vibe magazine and the image has Drake posing as you would do in music video and this relates as he does R&B music and he is a R&B singer. The image is framed onto the front magazine title which shows that the magazine is well known and people already know what it is by the look of it. The image is framed all around the page as it is quite big and it is a medium shit taken showing the R&B singer which shows he is important in this magazine. Mise-en-scene is used as he is wearing a dark black top with a back cap which is showing how music is represented as the image shows attitude of the singer and this is how R&B Music is showed and this is an image of Drake showing how music is presented. The image has a good relationship with the audience as it is showing attitude and the clothes blends in with background as the colours which are black and yellow show the R&B are classy and trendy in music. The magazine makes the audience think that this is a popular magazine and shows that music has class and you can be creative with music.

 There is use of language used where the word `unstoppable`` shows the audience that R&B is unstoppable and the music is lived on forever and Drake is posing above this showing attitude and showing that R&B is there forever and he is representing it and making it look cool. The language isn’t proper formal as it is straight forward to the point and is telling the audience what is in the magazine and the language also shows that it is directly pointing to the audience as it is showing the audience that there is lots in the magazine for them to read and makes it sound interesting the way it is written as the phrase which says ``Drake Hip Hop’s NEW RELIGION`` is showing us that Drakes got another religion and that is R&B music which shows that he is in love with R&B music. The language used here is straight to the point and quite simple as it makes the audience think that he has another religion and makes the audience want to read about it more. The text links to the image as the word unstoppable shows how it blends in with the image as he is showing attitude to the audience about how R&B music is unstoppable and getting the audience’s attention by doing this and so does the text.

The face expression which is on Drakes face shows the attitude of an R&B singer as it shows that they don’t care what other people think but R&B music means a lot to them and Drakes face expression is showing that he is represented as R&B music. The image has been placed in the middle but everywhere around the magazine to grab the audience’s attention as it shows `Swag` as they call it when someone has attitude and the look of a popular person who has really cool clothing and expensive brands. It is important of where it is placed as there is only one image of person and it only represents R&B music so it has to be big and be representing the music but also representing something in the magazine as it has to be suitable for this as R&B is music where a lot of attitude is shown. The most space which is taken in the magazine is the image as it has to stand out and the expression on Drakes face is him showing attitude representing R&B music as the image has been placed everywhere so it is eye-catching and this makes the audience look at him and by that image, the audience already know he is representing R&B music and the clothing he is wearing too. The image has a very important part as it has to be layered where people can see it straight away then read the other things on the magazine. The visual impact of the colours is black and yellow which is showing that this is a very different sort of magazine and it stands out towards the audience and shows us that these two colours are mainly represented in particular as they are represented for R&B Music. The visual impact of the image is that it is quite dark and Drake is wearing black so it shows that R&B music is hidden and quite mysterious and the image shows the audience that R&B music on the image is being represented as dark and hidden and stands out to the audience.

The genre of the magazine is shown through the colours as the colours are black and yellow and they are two different sorts of colours bought together and showing the music R&B. The colours really stand out as one colour is dark which black showing mysterious music is and one colour is yellow which is bright which really stands out to the audience as it is an ordinary colour for a magazine.

'KERRANG!' Magazine Research

 The images relate to the written content because the text stands out and draws the attention of the reader the same way that the images stand out and draw the attention of the reader as well. The main image is in the top third and is framed on the eye-line which allows the reader to see the image first. The image is a medium shot so the bottom half body of the men are cut out and the image of the men are quite cramped so there is not much space around them to show their point. The men in the image are wearing smart/casual therefore there is no formula and so they are each individuals and have their own identity/personality.The mask of one of the member of the band is used to emphasise the identity of that member. The culture of this band is indie/rock and is addressed to rock fans who enjoy listening to rock music and going to rock concerts. The colours used are dark such as black, grey, white, red so they are generally dark colours which contrast and differ from each other. The title ‘KERRANG!’ looks shattered to have impact so that the reader’s attention is drawn which also represents anger. The signs which show anger and that the magazine is ‘in your face’ is from the facial expressions of the rock band and because it is a rock magazine, red and the shattered glass effect of the title have been used. The relationship that the image has with the audience is that it includes the audience and makes the reader feel that they are part of the events.

The images of the rock band with its members take up most of the space on the cover page to show the importance of the rock band as some of the contents inside the magazine are about that rock band. Emphasis has been used as the title is emphasised and the image of the man in the centre of the magazine as his facial expressions are exaggerated. The section in red at the bottom of the magazine cover is emphasised because there is a different colour used which is in red therefore it stands out and draws attention to the reader. The ‘K! AWARDS’ title is also emphasised. Black and white is used to show contrast as the title ‘KERRANG!’ is in black and the background is white which allows the title to stand out. There is a balance for the visual field of the images and the text. The alignment is left aligned which engages the audience to buy the magazine.

The genre of the magazine is clearly shown on the magazine cover which is rock from the facial expressions of the rock stars on the magazine cover which are that they look angry and the title of the magazine ‘KERRANG!’ looks like shattered glass which also represents anger and the rock genre. In addition, the colours used include red, black, grey and other dark colours which also represent the rock genre of the magazine. The smaller images at the bottom of the magazine cover page also represent the rock genre because the fans are doing the rock hand sign and the masks that the rock stars are wearing also represent the rock genre which are what many rock stars wear in rock concerts and when they are performing.

 There is a rhetorical question used ‘WISH YOU WERE HERE?’ and the effect this has on the reader is that it involves the audience and makes them think and want to read on. The language used is informal and relaxed to show that the magazine is directed to the audience and they are being spoken to directly. The images and the text link up to inform the reader of the famous music festivals, gigs and special events that the magazine knows the readers want to know about. The fact that the title ‘KERRANG!’ is covered up means that this magazine is very well known therefore they do not need to show the whole title. The text has been placed at the top, top third, middle and the bottom of the magazine cover page and this is important because the title of the magazine is at the top to show the title of the magazine and the main subtitle of ‘K! AWARDS’ is on the centre line of the magazine cover to show the reader the topic that will be discussed and the text on the bottom of the magazine cover page also shows the other topics and subjects that are also discussed in the magazine.
10.01.13 I completed the preliminary task which was to create a front cover for a college/school and a contents page with it. I took photos to add for my front cover and the image I took was a medium shot. This was an enjoyable task and I will be working with Elham Rehman when I do my Music magazine and we will work together by sharing tasks and putting the music magazine together.
