Independent Tasks for DLD 12th January

Year 12.


Continue working on research and planning tasks. All of you have work you can be doing!


Remember, I am expecting to see analysis of three existing magazine covers this Friday so, if that is something you are missing, these should be a priority. After that, look back at the deadlines for this half term - what can you get ahead on? Look at the suggested task list below - is there anything on there you haven't done? If you have done everything on the list look for other blogs - here, here or here, for example - and see what other tasks they have. Note - THIS and THIS blog have some excellent research examples.


Task list;
Research into institution - who would produce your magazine and why?
Image manipulation of test shots with an explanation of what you were aiming for.
Draft layouts - either hand drawn or on computer.
Audience profiling - who is your magazine for? How will you engage their interest?
Genre research - what genre of music is your magazine? How will images and fonts used reflect this?
Character creation - who is your cover star? Create a back story which will help justify photo choices and generate article copy.
EVALUATIONS!!!


The only task you won't be able to do is your cover, contents and double page spread. Nothing else requires special access to the Macs or for me to be in the building. Despite what some of you have told your form tutors!!!


Year 13


You should each have something to be getting on with - either finishing research and planning for your music video/digipak/poster or working on evaluations. I suspect none of you have completed a fully storyboard for your video. This should therefore be a priority! Again, if you have done all the suggested tasks look for example blogs to inspire you. Blogs such as Caitlin's, this one, this one or this one are all worth a look.

G321 Final Agreed Deadlines

The following deadlines are as agreed and final!


6th January - any existing work which hasn't already been submitted.
13th January - analysis of three music magazine front covers.
20th January - analysis of three music magazine contents pages.
27th January - analysis of three music magazine double page spreads.
3rd February - your own cover and contents pages.
10th February - your own double page spread PLUS completed evaluations.


Remember the 10th is my birthday and the best birthday present you could give me is your work COMPLETED AND ON TIME!!!

Cover Lesson November 3rd 2016

Read through the PowerPoint below - this covers all of the work you should, by now, have completed, along with examples and advice.


Once you have read it through you need to be working on improving/completing tasks. Currently nobody has done close to everything they should have so everybody will have something to be working on.


Any questions please email me.

Examplar Analysis

Ryan found this example piece of analysis which is worth a look. It also gives you another platform which you can use to present your work.



He also found this blog which is another excellent example of what to aim for;
