Hi Guys
Here's the work for this week's lessons:
Tuesday 23rd, M3 - http://http://fronter.com/barnet/links/files.phtml/1214858880$511059283$/Resources/G321+Foundation+Portfolio/Print+Production+DESIGN+HELP
Click on this and read the entire document. It is VERY helpful, no matter how many pages you have produced so far. If you are yet to finalise any of your pages, start with the tips on Front Cover and Contents Page. If you've already done them, have a look at the design tips anyway to see if you've missed anything. Everyone needs to read the Double Page Spread pages, it'll help you get marks.
If you don't read any of the above pages, you're throwing away marks. So read them all.
Wednesday 24th, M1 - We are in A3.1 AKA the room with the slowest computers in the world. So we'll be looking at two examples of magazine pages and analysing:
Framing and Composition
Layout and Design
Use of Fonts
Use of Colour
Then you'll be applying your findings to your own construction work.
Wednesday 24th, M5 - we are in AKY's room and it's Construction Work only
PLEASE NOTE - we are missing two lessons on Thursday due to PSHE Day and the next time we meet is 30th November. At that point you will only have 6 days until your deadline. It is therefore IMPERATIVE that you work in your own time in order to meet your deadline. As long as you organise your time and set you own deadlines, you'll be okay. If you think you'll be okay and leave everything until the last minute, YOU WON'T BE, especially if you already behind.
THE DEADLINE IS 6TH DECEMBER AND WILL NOT BE EXTENDED
Thanks
Mr F

HOMEWORK FOR THE WEEKEND
Guys, you have two tasks to do before our next lesson on Tuesday. Make sure that it is all blogged and up to date by then:
1. Apply use and gratification theory to your main task so far.
Use and gratification theory of the audience explains the use of media in terms of the gratification of social or psychological needs of the individual.Using this definition of use and gratification, how do the following apply to the typical reader youhave profiled for your music magazine?
• What information is provided about the music artist/band itself?
• What sense of personal identity has the reader with the magazine and music forms that it promotes?
• How does the music magazine promote a sense of belonging as a part of a community of readers?
• What form of entertainment does the magazine provide for the reader?
• What form does this entertainment take and how does this create forms of escapism for thereader?
You have done this for your preliminary task. Apply the same process to your main task. Easy and it's worth marks.
2. Read a pop magazine interview of your choice and attempt to break down the article into sections. Comment on the use of language in the article, highlighting significant examples. Next, attempt to consider how this might appeal to the magazine’s intended audience. Finally, how does the article promote or market the image of the band? What does the article discuss? Does the article promote a new album or single release?
Use a magazine of your choice or use the exemplar on Fronter. Again, do this, I can give you marks for it.
Also, continue with your coursework construction
