Welcome to my blog

This blog is going to be used for my AS Media class. Here I will be posting things which will show evidence and progress of my own music magazine.


Here are the aims for my course as stated on the OCR website:

  1. 1.4 Aims
    The aims of these specifications are to:
    • 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 I am going to be using is Print. Here is the brief as stated on the OCR website:

Print
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. 



I am aiming to update my blog as often as possible.
