1. Actors, Location, Props, Costumes I will need a teacher in a leaching pose, in a classroom looking official in a suit. I feel this will be good for the magazine as it will allow me to “create” an article about teaching which is a highly important thing in a sixth form. I will need a photograph of a duck hiding in a classroom. This fits in with my ideas as it is something that has been happening throughout the years at this school and is something which many people actually wonder about, this would bring interest to my magazine. I also require a photo of the miner and arch outside of the phoenix café. This would act as my background as I intend to call my magazine “the sixth miner”.

2. Time Management By the 19 th - I plan to have my evaluation of a contents page and front cover done. By the 23 rd - I plan to have my flat plan completed and uploaded to the blog. By the 26 th- I should have completed my research and planning and have it uploaded to the blog. By the 28 th - I WILL have my front cover and contents page completed and uploaded to the media blog. By the 30 th- I WILL have my evaluation uploaded and have finished my prelim task.

3. Plain white background Person in centre of page to draw in interest and focus reader to the middle of the page Bold, standout-ish colour to attract attention Snapshot images to attract a wider audience Title, single text and colour, lacks in interest Logo

4. Front cover I found this front cover lacking in design and somewhat thrown together. The mono-colour background leaves the eyes wandering and feeling blank. I felt that the images were well placed but could have been in better resolution to decrease pixilation and a multi colour background would have improved this piece by a large degree The fonts used were good and easy to read, and they have a fun edge to them.

5. Same font followed from front cover. Text and background colour swapped from front page. Adds contrast. Images with backgrounds in opposite corners giving the page a fuller look and helps people to preview what is happening on those pages. Photos with cut out backgrounds so the fit with the background, helps people to preview those pages, the same way that the others do but fits in more with their surroundings. Plain white background, looks unprofessional. Contents list to tell people what is on what page.

6. Contents page I found the contents page very similar to the front cover, in the way that basic colours were used and that it seemed to only follow a basic form and had little artistic concept. However I felt that the use of swapping colours from the first page around was good as it added contrast and this is a technique I may use at a later point.
