December 9th final deadline !
Hi, welcome to my AS Media blog. I will be posting my progress throughout my year of studying Media studies. I will regularly update my blog to show the production of a music magazine.

                 The aims of the course

0. • enhance candidates enjoyment and appreciation of the media and its role in their daily lives;
   • develop critical understanding of the media through engagement with media products and concepts and through the creative application of practical skills;
   • explore production processes, technologies and contexts;
   • become independent in research skills and their application. 
     
     
     The brief of the course 
     Preliminary exercise: using DTP and an image manipulation program, produce the front page of a new school/college 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.
     Main task: the front page, contents and double page spread of a new music magazine (if done as a group task, each member of the group to produce an individual edition of the magazine, following the same house style). Maximum four members to a group.
     All images and text used must be original, produced by the candidate(s), minimum of FOUR images per candidate.
