Introduction

I am an AS level media student and  I created this blog to share my work and publish my progress throughout the course. I intend to use my blog to upload my coursework, the work i am set in class and homework tasks. The first piece of work i will upload is my preliminary task, which consists of a college magazine cover and contents page. I will also upload my first piece of coursework, a music magazine. My magazine genre will be both pop and rock and my decision was inspired by Q and rolling stone. I am particularly interested in this type of magazine because i enjoy both pop and rock music and so i feel i have better knowlege in this subject area. In my piece, i will use my own original images instead of taking images from the internet. I chose to create a music magazine rather than a film trailer as i feel i am more familiar with maqazine techniques therefore i can complete this work to the very best of my ability. I would like my coursework, when completed, to look professional and so i wish to use photoshop. I found that when i created my college magazine on microsoft publisher it did not look professional. I plan to use a variety of techniques in my coursework, including different fonts and colour contrasts, to access the highest marks possible and i am willing to research as much as possible to help me do so.
