Note to moderator

Dear Moderator, my name is Francesca Western – Kaye Candidate No.1925, and welcome to my A Level Media Studies blog. This is a record of the work I have undertaken for the Making Media (Component 03/04) non-examined assessment (NEA) within the OCR H409 GCE A Level course in Media Studies. I worked independently  on Brief 3: magazine and online to produce one front cover and the contents page(s) of the first two editions of a new current affairs magazine that is being launched by Dennis and two pages for the working website for the magazine. My magazine is aimed at a socially-conscious, 16–25, middle to upmarket demographic   Below you will find evidence of my research and planning for this task, including: * my research into professionally produced magazines and magazine websites that are similar in genre, style and form to those proposed in my chosen production brief. This includes: * My deconstruction, analysis and notes on these professionally produced magazines and website

Mock up of front covers and content pages

 This is a mock up of what i see my future magazine looking like and the colour scheme i imagine  This will be the first addition: 20th october 2020: ( when editing- need to see how to place the headings on the front page as want to keep integraty of the image in the right way/ content page - dont know if black is too strong, may need to tone it down a few) This will be the second addition: 20th November 2020: ( when editing - i wanted the contents page to be more of a cream colour - havent found the right shade yet/ need to do a few drafts of how headinging will look best on the main font space - dont leave lots of space - but if do make use of the space correctly)
